You are very welcome. I honestly was so busy last night, but I made sure to take the time to check in on you guys before I went to bed. It is a scary situation. I am just glad Laddie is doing better and I will continue to pray that he stays that way.

I hope she recovers too. She is slowly getting there. As for my temper, I held it back because my 10 year old daughter was with me. She was already upset over Cleo and I didn't want to make her worry about me too.

Thanks for asking about Dante. He had been doing super well...off pain meds and just gotten off preds in the last 10 days. This morning he suddenly yelped in pain again even though he is still in an x-pen to totally limit activity. Our vet warned us that it is typical for repeat flare ups to occur with degenerative disc disease and at some point the only option may be surgery. Surgery that messes with the spine really scares me. Dante is so full of energy that we can't force him to live in a tiny x-pen with repeated pain for the rest of his life...he is only about 7 years old and Pommies typically live past 14.

So, we just keep going day to day as we try to figure out what is going to be the fairest choice for our little black bear so he can have a happy life.

Dante sends you a big Pommie hug.

Thanks so much for your kind words, I just wish I would have brushed him more before the shot.

I just posted a pic of our wee Dante on the thread about his jaw dislocation...a couple of other people had private messaged me asking to see him too. He looks like a little bear cub with a white nose. LOL Trini
