The current suggestion from my vet is to check the palate and tooth while she was under for the eye surgery. Even after a year with me cleaning her, Mattie doesn't like people around her mouth. During the routine checkup, the vet was able to spot the chip, but was not able to get a good look for...

I've had Mattie for just over a year now (she's 4) and brought her to the vet today for her routine checkup and shots. [Note: We've been fighting a tail flap infection since the day I've had her that never 100% cleared up. Mattie has pretty much the worst inverted corkscrew tail imaginable.]...

Sorry for the long delay. Looks like she probably pulled or strained something in her back. She seems back to 100% after a few days of rest. Vet recommended that for 1 week she goes on no long walks and to keep her kenneled when I'm at work, so we'll stick to that short-term to be safe. Thanks...

Starting yesterday, Mattie seems to be in pain when trying to climb or jump, but I can't figure out what could be wrong (going to the vet tomorrow!) Prior to yesterday, she loved to run up stairs, jump on the couch and jump on her hind legs to slobber all over me when I got home from work. As...

So many couches, so little Febreze.

She has an amazing grip!! Oh wait... the pictures are just upside down. (Great pics by the way!)

No matter what kind of trouble they get into, they all look innocent when they sleep.

Mattie has a history of tail pocket infections that never really cleared up 100% despite treatment. If a few cleanings are missed, the whole area will get matted up with thick black goop which isn't pleasant for anyone. That said... She doesn't mind the cleaning for the most part, but she's a...

And this one was just to annoy all the Georgia Bulldog fans at work here near Atlanta.

Every time I see this picture, I can't help but think of Wilfred Brimley in those old diabetes commercials.

Hate to revive a dead thread, but just wanted to say thanks for the advice. She's doing fine now. After a few days, it was like it never happened.

I was taking Mattie out for her walk this afternoon at the apartment complex and she saw a cat under a car before I could. Mattie took off like a rocket, pulled the leash out of my hand, and dove under the car and the chase began. When I caught up to her, the cat was running up the stairs...

I brought her to the dog park after work today and another family with a dog finally came along. I kept Mattie on a short leash just in case. When the other dog came close it's like something switched in both of them. They both started at once, and we had to separate the two to keep them from...
