Dogs and Heat
I don't know what the weather is like in other cities,but here in the Central Valley it has been getting up to 108 the past few days.And unfortunately there is no relief in site until maybe,the end of this week.If you have a pet,like I do,DO NOT LEAVE THEM OUTSIDE in this heat.If you have trees in the yard,the shade WILL NOT be enough to protect your pet from the sheer burning that they will incure in heat of this magnitude.Put yourself in thier place,could you handle the heat outside?I doubt it.Make sure your pet has plenty of water around,and if it's not possible to bring the pet inside,at least watch and make sure your pet does not become ill or have a siezure.Keep the hose handy,in case you need to cool them off.

Liver is starting to swell.Feeling ill more days than not.I'm not afraid to die,I just worry about Gracie and what will happen to her.I've just got to get this sweeling to slow if not stop all together.I'm taking my MILK THISTLE,which seems to help.So,far I'm not in pain.That's a good sign,no water,fluid retention yet either.I guess when they have to start draining your liver that thats when it gets painful.I am going to make it to my 50 th birthday.

Gracie is starting to act like herself again.Except the tail wagging is still at a minumum.Vet said it could be 2 to 4 weeks before she heals.Hopefully her tail won't have a kink in it.But even if it does,she is still a beautiful girl and my baby.I wish I could get rid of her tail inorder to spare her any future pain,but Gracie without her tail just would'nt be right.

Gracie breaks her tail
I've had quite a few dogs,but none of them have ever,ever had "limber"tail.Gracie was in so much pain,and I,not being a vet,could not figure out what was wrong.It was not only Sunday,it was my birthday and I was sound asleep when she came into the bedroom crying like a banshee.She could not sit or lay down.So,off the the Animal E.R. Gracie got a pain shot and is now recovering ,except it seems to me that she NOW wags her tail even more!160.00 for the vet visit,I would do it again in a heartbeat.More reviews and factoids in my next blog post.Watch that tail!

Review of PEDI-PAWS
I'm not sure if it's just me or if it's the product that is lacking.It sure does'nt work as easy as you see on T.V.The biggest compaint I have is the smell of the nails as your trimming them,not pleasant.Second compaint is that the little hole that you have to put the nail in,is too small,I spent most of my time trying to find the hole while holding Gracie's paw,she was not amused.The third compaint,is the noise.I do not care how long you take (days/weeks) to get your pat use to this thing,Gracie still flinched from it.Fourth complaint,the file rotates but it will stop with even a slight touch of pressure.Which you need to trim the nail in a rounded design.I just had so much trouble with the product that I gave up.Gracie was'nt the problem,she got irritated because it was taking so long just to get the nail in the slot.I do not reccommend the PEDI-PAWS.It does not preform as advertised.They suggest sitting on your dog if nothing else works,forget that!That's cruel.
