Granny's gone and done it again

[h2oratt]

Gracie is..11. We're guessing. I got her three years ago. The people that had her only had her a year. They said she was 5. I took one look at her and decided to look at her teeth. I told them that this dog wasn't 5, more like 8, or more. They said they didn't know for sure because they were going by what the previous owners said. Humm...I had her checked for a chip. If going by that chip, thinking if it was done by first time owner then we're now close to her real age. I had the chip changed of course. She's acting like her normal self this morning. She's really looking older. Cloudy eyes. Limping. (Arthritis) Tumor, lipomas.. After I had those teeth cleaned, two teeth pulled. The next year, two more. This last year of cleaning no teeth pulled but thought I was losing her when I couldn't wake her hours after I had her home. Told bet, says she shouldn't go under again. Poor baby and those teeth! I have her on two different kinds of pain meds. Carprfen and Gabapentin. Helps her be able to jump up on the couch at least. She plays a bit but mostly lays around. My husband dearly loved her. Was more her dog. Now I've come to really love this little thing! View attachment 3303973

How do you change a chip? Did you check with the chip registry to make sure she wasn’t stolen?

they scan it then change the owners name and address in the computer I think. They dont actually change the chip itself

Hello all:

Well took a day and a half BUT the main coop aka gen pop is cleaned and ready for winter. Had a little free time while Mike was spreading the pine shavings. (can't breather around them when they are fresh) SOOOOOOOOO got some pics of the younger stuff and a few of the main herd on the way home.

This is "little" Shoe show knee, heifer out of Polka last year. We think she is deaf. View attachment 3304040

Then I guess breeding for all that white isn’t a good thing

Came in real quick. Had a great day. I'm not healed. This illness has no cure. Medication can help give you better days. I'll always be dizzy. Some days worse than others. When a storm is moving in, if I eat the wrong trigger food.. I've found a few, if I stress, which I do too easily since Scott passed. I miss him so much, I can't help it when I see something, or smell, something that reminds me of him. Another Holiday Season without him. It isn't easy. When will it get easier? If I get up in the morning and I can walk without looking/feeling like a drunk, I'm grateful, I'm outta here. I've been able to drive more. This makes me happy. Life can be hard. I've been through a few things for sure throughout my life. But being able to have Scott in in those last 29 years is something that I'm not sure I deserved. I can now also say, wow, I've had some great years. I'm still having grandbabies coming. Makes me smile. Austin and Bronwyn's being here is such a blessing. I can't complain really..but I am human. I'm glad I can pick me up on those good days. I can drive around now and see more of those gorgeous mountains. I love it here. Scott planted us in a good place for retirement. So, now to see how tommorow is. I've actually made plans for it! First time I've dared to in months. I pray this medication keeps working. And as I up it to the suggested dose, I hope I can plan even further out. Granny. I'm feeling bad for you right now. I'll be praying for you. It seems like when it rains it pours at times. You'll get through this stuff that's going on. I've come to think of you as a pretty strong person. Go for a drive, even it's it's just a mile away. Somewhere that you enjoy seeing. Sit and just look. So much to be thankful for even through all of this. Man I hope I'm not coming across as preaching. I don't mean to. Just wanting your spirits lifted. If there is anything you think that I could possibly do for you, let me know.

That sounds awful. Glad you are feeling better
