    Reason 999 why Vegas does not sleep with me!

    KMARINO: Well hopefully we will both catch up on our sleep tonight. I've had my daughter's Bully, Millie for the week-end and my three grandsons over night last night. They were all (my daughter, s-i-l and the three boys) in a wedding yesterday, so I went and got the boys after the cake was...

    ***Sigh*** Trying to count my blessings...

    Aw, sorry to hear he's feeling so crummy! At least he did admit you were right and his Dad should have listened to you. So hopefully in years to come, he'll remember all this, maybe when his little one is sick. I feel for you, believe me! My youngest son had Reactive Airway Disease when he...

    Update on Ida...

    Actually, I went to Pet Club intending to buy the Instinct. But they had a very small variety. I didn't want to get the biggest bag they sell, just in case it wasn't what she needed. They had mostly 30 lb. bags, very few smaller bags, none in Salmon. I started talking to the manager and she...

    Update on Ida...

    So Ida HATED the new food, to the place that she just refused to eat it. Last Fri. she went back to the vet and he agreed that she may have allergies and he was totally okay with trying allergy treatment before we go to surgery. He gave us eye drops for her and she gets eye drops and Benedryl...

    So, I changed Ida's food....

    I decided to try a grain free food for Ida, just to see if it makes a difference with her. I went to Pet Club, intending to get her Nature's Variety Instict Salmon, and ended up with Natural Balance Fish and Sweet Potato. It's grain free but also is limited ingredients for dogs with allergies...

    I opted for surgery, do you think I'm doing the right thing?

    You have to understand my vet's personality. He's sometimes kind of "hard to read". He's a GREAT vet, but there are times I do wish he would be more specific. I don't think he ever did actually say to me "Its up to you". Of course with all that we do with our dogs, it is always up to us what...

    My son got me this shirt

    Aw, so sweet! It IS the thought that counts!

    I opted for surgery, do you think I'm doing the right thing?

    Hmmmm.... now I'm more confused than ever. Let me add this-- she doesn't appear to have watering eyes, NO eye bugers, no anything that makes me think she has allergies. But that said, maybe I don't know what I'm looking for. In order to have such BAD tear staining, her eyes MUST be watering...

    I opted for surgery, do you think I'm doing the right thing?

    Maybe I wasn't clear. I don't think it's "cosmetic", it will help her eyes feel better, and the bonus will be less staining. At least that's how I understood it. I would never do anything to endanger her unnecessarily. I have to go in on Fri. to get a pre-surgury appt. on Arrow, so I'll talk...

    My Sweet Baby Girl Chani

    Oh, so sad! Sounds like you should look for a puppy or rescue Bully! Must be very lonely! Welcome to our group.

    Arrow is our St. Bernard. He's 3 1/2. No, you haven't missed another Bully. :lol:

    FINALLY!!! My computer appears to be working again!

    My computer has been giving me fits for about 2 weeks now. My husband messed with it and messed with it and I could come on here and "look" but not answer any posts. So I totally missed out on the auctions :angry: But it looks like it's working okay now. I still have to see if all my pics...

    I opted for surgery, do you think I'm doing the right thing?

    I took Ida to the vet today because her "tear-stains" are driving me nuts! I have done EVERYTHING to get rid of them, and they just get worse. So I took her in to see if she needed an anti-biotic or something. Someone had mentioned Panalog ointment, which I don't have on hand. So I thought...

    Bullie love

    Welcome to our group! I have three girls. SO far, so good. No one fights. Gertie and Ida got into a couple of little squables a couple months ago, but I'd read on here to get it across to them that they're not Alpha, I am Alpha. So we put a quick stop to it and all has been well ever since...
