I'm to ashamed to post a picture. Especially with one of my ladies, I think she has gone to the chickens feather dressers because she's usually white but this week she has been a brunette. Spar day the moment it warms up around here

My brothers dog "Levi" just had an operation $2500 USD Yep they cost a lot of money

The money would be tough but we have had cases where the dog dies and we can't bear that

Hattie Walking

The following video is of Hattie walking. I had gone to my chair under the magnolia tree and the Tribe had pursued me. All but Hattie. She waited on the deck steps until I called her. Here she is coming to the chair and eating some corn. Watch closely and then I will tell you what I see.

First clearly better than this morning. Her tail is up. She jogs a little. Much much better. She gets her beak in there and eats. She even shoulders Sansa away from the hand at the end. All way better than this morning.

What concerns me is a couple of things. First she did not just follow me like the rest of the tribe. Second, if you look close there is actually a little hitch in her gitty-up. Her stride is a little bit off. Third, when eating she never tolerates Sansa sharing the hand. She was way more patient than usual. Though she did shove Sansa away at the end and did eventually peck her later that was more tolerance than I normally see.

I am awaiting a poo sample to see what that looks like. Her comb is red and her eyes are clear. She is just off a little. Hopefully she is improving.

THAT I understand!

Anesthetic is dangerous to little and older dogs. let alone the shock of the operation

Same! Just had to have youngest son's dog have infected tooth extracted. Then she got sick during her recovery... $$$
Worth it tho! She is bonded to him and a sweet member of the family
