It's Going To Be A Quiet Day I Suspect-Update Dogs Healing

Cold & rainy today. Probably not too much to say.
Rowe-Quinn & Rascal are both healing nicely. Very little residual affect. RQ has scabby skin where his wounds were. The swelling of his right ear has gone.

Alissa & The Vet

Although I've been feeding my dogs raw food for only about 4-5 months, they've been doing wonderfully. One of the things I read (thanks Glenda) was that carbohydrates are problematic for anyone (or animal) diagnosed with Epilepsy. Another great reason for feeding my dogs raw meat and meaty bones. I've been able to cut back on her dosage of this (in my opinion) heavy-duty drug.

Alissa needed to see her vet, Dr. Farmer, in order to get her perscription for Epilepsy (phenobarbitol) refilled.
The vet was amazed that we've cut her already 1/3 the dosage perscription into a half of that!

Her general exam went great. They've got an amazing vet tech there named Dwayne, Alissa stopped shaking while his experienced, mature arms were wrapped around her. You see, Alissa is very shy around new people. Very shy. With Dwayne's arms holding her while Dr. Farmer checked her ears, her heartrate, her temperature, etc. she remained calm and comfortable.

I recommend the Animal Medical Center to anyone that is looking for a new veterinarian that is low cost, sensitive, caring, and that has a wonderful staff.

Shhhhhhh ~ She's Sleeping! Really.


Alissa & Cheezmoe Hanging Out - Sort Of

Alissa was actually playing the 'patience' game with Cheezmoe. She knew that within moments that bone would drop and she'd show Cheezmoe how quickly it would be hers. Alissa's the dominant girl in the house. She rules quietly and swiftly. The only thing(s) that faze her are people she doesn't know.

Keeping Vigil

Pit Bull sitting my son's dog Cheezmoe! My son had just stopped by to 'borrow' money and ask if we could keep Cheezmoe one more evening. Cheezmoe watched him drive away. She misses her man.
