Having lived with Labs previously I'm well aware of that "oh my" moment while looking at x-rays. With Labs however it usually involved seeing gravel and rocks in their intestines. They love to eat rocks. I wish I were kidding. <br /><br />The thing to remember is that for Ziva each day is a new day. They don't dwell in the past unless we let them do so. She will be a happy, healthy dog because you are giving her a happy, healthy life. <br /><br />Hang in there and give her a good ear rub for me!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-29317947668672870292010-07-24T20:30:11.229-04:002010-07-24T20:30:11.229-04:00Emergencies do indeed reveal things.

...That's exactly how we came to switch vets! <br /><br />That poor baby...! Sounds like she's doing really well, especially since more of her history has been revealed and you know what she's been through. She is so pretty! That shiny coat is lovely. She's a poster child for ending the black dog syndrome.

Until they start to struggle to find clients, I suppose they don't need to emphasize such service. I feel some sympathy for caregivers of various kinds -- there is a lot of pressure. But I suspect that too many don't look for ways to deal with the logistical logjam and help make sure that clients always have ready access to care. Still gald that Ziva is doing better. May she never be shot again!Climenheisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01989459133238230712noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-28234912099026236052010-07-24T10:23:06.523-04:002010-07-24T10:23:06.523-04:00It is still unclear to my what Ziva's problems...It is still unclear to my what Ziva's problems was. <br /><br />Heidi threw up when I first got here. It took me a while to be trained. I was giving her table scraps as a treat. They often contained bones. She couldn't keep this kind of food down so I refrain from feeding her things other than her regular food.<br /><br />I am not surprised at all of dogs being shot in the country. Lots of people see dogs as vermin and think nothing if shooting at them.<br /><br />As you know I had a dog killed by a neighbour who is notorious for shooting dogs. Once I complained to the police of another neighbour threatening to kill one of my dogs.<br />His response was, "We shoot dogs too if we think they might any wildlife."Tossing Pebbles in the Streamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04354065895900279070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-49100849596348267812010-07-24T10:15:50.452-04:002010-07-24T10:15:50.452-04:00Wow!

It makes one wonder if she was shot for sport, was just in the wrong place at the wrong time, or was mistaken for deer, etc. Who knows? This makes me so sad to know that there are countless dogs, and other animals, abused daily by uncaring, awful people! <br /><br />A couple of weeks ago, an Amish woman and three small children were on a wagon that was pulled by a very small pony. The pony kept slipping and falling. It may not have had shoes on its hooves, which would cause it to slip on the asphalt, or it was just too small for all of their weight on the wagon. Either way, I was so upset that they allowed it to keep falling while doing nothing to help it. Everything in me wanted to tell the woman to get off the wagon and lead the pony to help it. I still wonder why I kept silent. Not so sure I will next time. Unfortunately, from what I have witnessed here there will be a next time. <br /><br />Animals are innocent and need to be cared for lovingly! I am glad Ziva is in your home now!Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12087460233450228864noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31402520.post-23229901892934460652010-07-24T06:39:43.264-04:002010-07-24T06:39:43.264-04:00Glad it was just GI upset Donna.
