free as a bird!

Yes, I know the last several posts have been about Sadie, but there's nothing else really going on here, so what else am I going to blog about. Sadie had her 9 week appt today and can now go on walks with a leash & can roam free in the house (yeah no cage in the living room anymore!). X rays showed she healed well. Thank goodness. They even were ice enough to take an extra picture of her bladder to make sure she didn't have any stones and the antibiotics are doing there job. They are!!!! She is all cuddled up on her bed in front of the fire loving life again. till next time....

I can sympathize........

Sadie has a UTI! Yep you read it right, just when we thought things were getting easier with Sadie, she woke us( or should I say me) up last night whining and whimpering about every hour or so. I took her out and she would pee just a little tiny bit, I know the feeling:( . After a very long night for her and me and a vet visit this morning, we hopefully are on the road to recovery again. The vet is seriously a rip off, 125.00 for the antibiotics!!!! What do you do?! For a shelter Dog she is certainly packing the price of a pure bred. Oh well we love her just the same.

5 down 3 to go!

I thought I would do an update on Sadie. She is doing well. It's been 5 weeks since her surgery and she has 3 more weeks in the 4x4 "cage". She is starting to feel a lot better so it is getting harder and harder to keep her on the low key. She has an appointment on the 22nd to see how she is healing. We hope to get the go ahead to start the therapy process. Her hair is growing back and she is also growing a ton of hair in between her toes on her paws that we think is very funny! This must be caused by the lack of exercise to rub it off. We have never seen this before.
This picture was taken Christmas morning with her stocking stuffer toy. She ripped it apart in about 3 minutes! Happy New Year!

Happy 2009!

Happy New Years. I hope 2009 will be the year for great things! Wishing for a Happy Healthy New Year....
