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!!
Sooooo glad to hear from you and Reign!!!! REALLU!!! I’ve been looking for your update! She is just so darn cute and such a little miracle dog!!
I saw a dog that looked just like your Hannah the other day. OMG HUGE! She was super friendly and almost knocked me over trying to get more love! Being around my little dogs I forget just how big some breeds are!!
Oops! Hit submit too soon! Just so excited to know Reign is doing so well and thoroughly enjoying her little spexial self!
Yes, the dog food market can be daunting. Chexk out Dog Food Advisor.com or The Whole Dog Journal for their ranking of the best food. And yes, for the most part, some of the better quality foods cost more. You may have to go to “pet boutique stores” to find some of these.
Check out some of the links on the site for nutrition. I think you can gain some insight that way. Maybe by searching Dog Food in the search block. As you can tell, I’m not very computer savvy and can’t give you the direct links.
It just tickles me pink that Reign is trotting along like a marathon runner! And you are never rambling when it comes to Reign! We love hearing about her!!
And blurry or not, we love seeing pictures of adorable Reign!
Thanks so much for the update!
Sending lots of love!
Sally and Alumni Happy Hannah and Merry Myrtle too!
PS…they are doi g some revamping on the site. For a day or so we will be able to READ blogs, but apparently not reply. Pictures won’t be able to be posted for a day or someither….if I read the notice right anyway! The notice is in a block on the forums page.
I was on the dog food advisor while I was at the store lol. I was shocked how low a lot of the brands were ranked. The kind I got was ranked the same as blue buffalo (which was only 3.5 stars out of 5) This is just the new thing for me to research now.
thanks for the warning about the site being down!
Awww…just saw your lost! Yes, my Happy Hannah was a big chunk of a girl who was all heart! A gentle giant who Reign would have been able to boss around with her Doxie attitude!! Thanks for mentioning my Hannah….made me smile!
