<DIV>My Hannah who just turned one has been humping Annie, I know she is
trying to show her dominance, but this has become a problem
because Annie is now going down in the rear end and having a hard time getting
up, I have tried everything I can think of, from crate time out, to a
squirt gun and a water bottle, she loves them, thinks it is a game, nothing and
I mean nothing fazes this child, she is fearless. she does play out back
with the Mastiff puppy, but there again I am worried that Hannah will get hurt ,
the Mastiff is only 5 months and the size of a miniature horse. and does not
realize how big or rough she is playing. I now take Annie and Hannah outside at
separate times, so they virtually have no play time in the yard, it is way too
dangerous for Annie, I would greatly appreciate any input or
suggestions.</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Annie goes in for an ultra sound on the 28th, of April, Sylvania
Animal Hospital, she has elevated liver enzymes, which may be a result of the
Tramadol she takes for her arthritis in her spine, I know many of you use
Tramadol on your hounds does it elevate the liver enzymes ????</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Also, this is suppose to be a super bad year for TICKS, I was
wondering if anyone of you have suggestions on what works and what doesn't
I would prefer something natural, but not sure if there is such a thing
???</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>So now while I am on the drool , I want to thank many of you for your get
well cards and prayers for my shoulder surgery, I am now in rehab
and it is everything, everyone said it would be GRUELING !!!!!!! I have
learned to be humble, ( yes I have ) as I have had to have help from
visiting nurses to help me shower and get dressed. my oldest son from Columbus,
Oh came home for a week and took care of the girls and cooked, he
posted on his face book page a picture of Hannah, the caption said " I now
know why my mom drinks so much wine " everyone thought I was
exaggerating when I said how bad she was, I wasn't !!!!! but she is
getting better ! a big THANK YOU to Sandy Gaston, for her help for getting
me through this 1 year mile stone !</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Love Marlene Annie and Hannah</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
