    Hi Clarice, I can never turn down a thread about our four legged friends. You may be able to see our two in the avatar. The border terrier is Robbie and the black lab is Lexie.

    Lexie is a rescue dog and has the canine equivalent of PTSD. We have no idea what was done to her but I've witnessed first hand her waking from sleep and being unable to move. Just cowering on the floor and all we can do is sit with her until it passes.

    Thankfully Robbie has been with us since a pup, he's a bit headstrong and thinks he's the business sometimes but that's his character. We wouldn't have it any other way. We had a border called Scamp who died in 2012, he's buried near the pond and is still missed. Also lost a rottweiler way back in 1989

    I totally understand your worries over your dogs. They are family members aren't they image Our two don't have much interest in gardening unless its digging. I'm sure Naya will be back on four legs in no time, 85% is good odds.

    Mine is o.k., but my neighbour's dog, which is a working dog on his sheep property got a broken leg jumping off the ute, and cost $2000 for the vet to put a metal rod in her leg.  I believe she is managing ok, but will have to have it removed in time.  Sounds painful and worrying for them as they are very caring with their dogs. image
