MY VET LOGIC… CHAOS HAD A UTI -----14 PIDDLES ON ONE LINDA WALK------ SO WE TOO K HER TO THE VET ( DR NIKI) In Newburyport--- we had medication here but I don't like to give that unless it's under the direction of someone who's been to veterinary school … And doctor Nikki put her on two meds And then waited for the urine and blood reports to come back at which time she called and said she wanted to do an ultrasound .. now chaos being 11 years old full of all kinds of lumps and bumps but doing very nicely LOSING weight On her special PURINA weight management food .. so I did ask what difference the results of an ultrasound would make in her care .. which I think is a very legitimate question to ask because a dog that old with that many bumps on her---- if you look very hard you're going to come up with something THAT somebody is going to want to cut off … so I don't want anybody getting too curious with her because she's she's fine she's happy Ed she no longer has the UTI .. but doctor Nikki did say something about the results of the ultrasound could change the medication she was on .. that being the case I said fine. I would not have agreed to any further test if she had said well don't you want to know the exact diagnosis becausw my answer to that would have been no .. And I won't agree to biopsying those lumps she has .. because I have seen in a very old dog the surgery removing such lumps in one dog kill ED them on the table and the other one was miserable for six months and then died .. so chaos is fine .. she did have a little bit of trouble getting out of the back of my car because I parked it on a Hill and she had slid into the back door and couldn't get her back feet under her … so we have those kind of accommodations to make .. but that's sort of normal for us old gals every once in awhile we need a lift .. but she will be going tomorrow for an ultrasound .. And we will take it from there ….whatever it is

TRUE STORY ---- And then there's the story of my knees probably 20 years ago both my knees began to complain … I am sure I was given the advice by my husband (MD) “lose 20 pounds and you would have FEWER problemS ” which was his answer about anything FROM ATHLETES FOOT TO A NOSEBLEED…AND HE WAS VAGUELY CORRECT…….... at any rate I did go to an orthopedic surgeon who said I needed surgery and I opted to do one KNEE at a time so that I wouldn't be totally laid up with two surgical knees .. so I very carefully put a magic marker on my right knee and was wheeled into the operating room for them to carve it up which they did . and it hurt .. by the time the pain had gone away from the surgery .. my other knee was fine also with no surgery .. I remembered that …. Surgeons do prescribe surgery …
Also true story… I knew the surgeon well – and he knew about m y dogs…. so when I was to come infor AN APPPT, HE ASKED ME TO BRING A DOG AND PRETEND IT WAS A SEEING EYE DOG…. APPARENTLY HIS RECEPTIONIST WAS DUE TOHAVE EYE SURGERY AND WAS NERVOUS… I WAS TO SAY I HAD EYE SURGERY AND IT DID NOT GO WELL…… HE KNEW HIS RECEPTIONIST WELL AND WE ALL HAD A GOOD LAUGH OVER THE CONCEP-T….
I THINK IT IS TRUE THAT YOU NEVER FORGET SOMEONE WHO MADE YOU REALLY LAUGH.. BUT EASILY FORGET THE OPPOSITE KIND.
PUPPPIES….. PLAN AHEAD….. THEY ( PAM JUDY STACY ETC ) ARE NOW USING THE N EW FEEDER I BUILT FOR 8 PUPS AT A TIME…Yesterday I watched how they split the 15 into two groups in kennel nine and 10 put out eight dishes at a time and let one group out where they wolfed down the food while standing on their back legs and when they were done they were awfully good at returning to the kennel where they got cookies…. at which point Pam let out the second group who behaved much the same so these puppies are thinking now .. the only reason they were able to do it so was we had Judy pallmann staCY run laps around the flat field and put just a few miles on these creatures before you ask them to do anything besides fight … once they had the exercise they were fine Judy Pam and Stacy we're also more fit the routine for taking them back “HOME” in the afternoon goes equally as well half of the time while someone guards the front gate they run up and into the house condo or for them on a rotating basis go into the nuthouse and then the three I'm working with land in the kitchen … progress is hopefully being made I'm told by Haley and Judy with the Leafs training project .. You should be able to see the m eeting a\T a yellow feeder and the puppy Hill camera ..
