It’s amazing how much you can put off doing while your fur baby is recovering! I’ve been trying to play catch up with everything. No new pictures of Reign the wonder dog since she’s so fast. By the time I take the pic she’s just a blur lol. She’s about 70% back to normal speed. I pretty much have to jog behind her on our walks around the yard. If our weather ever calms down ( it’s been 90 most days) we will be able to go for normal walks. My husband has been working on ramps but Reign being the determined doxie has decided she will use the doggie steps until he is finished. I really thought she wouldn’t be able to do the doggie steps, she just had to prove me wrong.
We took her to the pet store for the first time post op today. She was in heaven! Everyone had to fuss over the little wiener dog. I noticed 1 employee watching her and he finally asked she was missing a leg. I guess they were confused since she was all over the store so they couldn’t tell for sure. She let us off pretty easy and only picked out 1 bag of treats and a new collar lol. I will get more pics and video as soon as I can!
I wanted to let everyone know we are still around and haven’t forgotten everyone! But I also had a question not really related to being a tripawd.
I’ve always feed all of my dogs pedigree. I know it’s not the best food but I’ve never had any problems. The last time we bought food they had a new and improved recipe. Everyone was eating it and it seemed fine. Today my friend called freaking out saying she saw that people were finding bits of medal/plastic sticking out from the food. I looked into it and the company is saying it’s just hair from the animal parts they use. Ewwww gross right?! I told my husband about it and he pointed out that 2 of our dogs had been throwing up lately. ( not enough to freak out but more than normal) So I look at the food and sure enough I can see what looks like hair/string in the food! This is what caused us to make a trip to the pet store. Since I have used pedigree forever I have no clue what a good affordable food is! There’s SO MANY TO CHOOSE FROM! Reading online is just overwhelming so what kind does everyone use? We got a small bag of purina pro plan focus , no weird hairs in it and everyone ate it very well. I just don’t know if we are going to stick with it and I don’t want to change food too many times.
Thanks for letting me ramble on again!!
Month: August 2015
Finally a video!
Reign was ready to go for a walk! I did limit her to just around the yard since I dont want her to over do it.
1 month post op
Yay 1 month since Reigns surgery and she’s doing amazing! To celebrate she got to sleep in bed. She slept like a rock, me on the other hand spent most of the night making sure she was leaving the tiny scab she still has alone. Everything we’ve tried to put on it to help with the itching, she just trys to lick off. Being off of all of her meds has really let her get back to her bratty self!
She is getting her speed back and even chased a squirrel across the yard! I had taken her out with 1 of our males, sat her down and she was GONE!( Of course my phone was sitting in the house so no video) Our other dogs havent treated her any different other than not laying on her. They snuggle but give her space
Poor Reese has really missed being with Reign during this. But they are back together again!
