Hi all. I know I fell off the grid, didn’t I?! Sorry, I have been so busy and I did my eye is still crazy flashing/floaters. Shoot. And busy. My dad will be 100 years young on September 19th and we are planning a birthday party. How come even a smaller (well, maybe 100) party is so much work and planning?!? Well, it will be worth it. But other things going on too and I am just sorry not to be around. All okay, just busy.

Sadie’s PCV yesterday was 42! Yeah!!!! I am so proud of her. No doubt, she’s a little fighter.

We are making home cooked food and even with everyone’s advice (which has been on target AND awesome), I am STILL trying to figure out the RIGHT supplements for Sadie. I am adding Nortic Naturals Omega 3, PetTinic and Tumeric (helps with the incontinence – and it actually works!). And she is still getting either 1/4th of her kibble or canned, organic Evangers (fish, turkey, chicken, mixing it up) to help with supplements. I think when I come back (first trip away, a whole 24 hours away for grand daughter’s 4th birthday party), I will try the 6 Fish by Orijen (thank you ladies for the recommendation!) to add to her home cooked (not doing raw). Not to be gross (we’re way beyond that, right?!), but her poop is SO much better!!! I should have done this long ago.

She is having some bad side effects, worse than ever before, so we are weaning her every three weeks now. She is down to 22.5mg of prednisone and still the 50mg Atopica. All the protections stay the same, Denamarin, Sucralfate, Plavix, and the supplements listed above.

Love and hugs, Linda and doing AOK Sadie

Glad to hear Sadie is doing good. I use ACANA … which is Orijens other brand. I have considered going raw but was scared to change anything at this point. So I just supplement Flossie with Pumpkin, and Goats Milk Yogurt and Cooked Chicken trying to satisfy her and keep her from putting anymore weight on.

Jen, for your mum’s dog, it’s worth trying Rescue Remedy or the like. My vet does homeopathic and I swear it works on Bingo. For weeks he was giving me grief about sleeping at night. He didn’t seem to settle until about 3 in the morning. Kept wanting to go out, did nothing, came in, wanted food, went to bed, and off again. Vet made up a remedy and THAT NIGHT, he went to sleep and even better, I GOT SOME SLEEP.
