I came home last night to a hurt doggie. She is my chihauhua Romee. She keeps crying everytime I touch her. She slept fine all night, ate breakast and went potty fine. I am going to check her out when I get home and then take her to the vet. I am thinking she jumped off my bed wrong (I hope). I'm just stumped. Poor thing.

Wait isn't this the dog where the neighbor kid hit her when you were away for the weekend? Could it be a reinjury? (or am I confusing you with someone else? sorry, if i am)

Please make sure to update us.

Yep, same dog. She is totally healed from that incident. I am not sure what this was. She was fine the next night, and now is totally back to normal. I just took her on a trip with me to make sure she was ok (I won't leave her home anymore... at all) and she was good. Who knows!? Im just glad she is OK

Glad she is ok. One more incident and BFP will be sending a party to remove your dog from your home.

I will be leading the troop, so be on guard!

i was making chili this afternoon and re-experienced how annoying it is not to be able to open ANY kind of can without tuna expectations resulting.

i try to explain that it is a can of kidney beans, not tuna. Surely, i reason, they can smell the difference. But no, they are under foot until tuna manifests itself.

Fortunately there was one can of tuna in the house. It is probably a good thing that i rarely cook.

I didn't want to start a thread on this issue just a quick post.

Summer time is here. though it isn't really that hot yet, a pet can still suffer from heat stroke.

My niece text me back Friday telling me how her dog was acting. I really didn't have an answer for her and the options were wide open considering the 5 month old puppy pit mix hadn't had any shots. All the questions I ask her, her answers weren't consistent with anything I could diagnose over the phone.

Being a holiday weekend she couldn't afford to vet her until yesterday. As it turned out the pup had suffered a heat stroke and the vet said he didn't know why she was still alive. She had told me the pup was in the yard with my nephew for maybe an hour and came inside and just laid around then went under the bed and wouldn't come out or eat or drink. I had told her what to do about that and I guess that is what kept her alive til Tuesday.

If you keep a dog outside, keep it in a shaded well ventilated area. Out of the sun and with plenty of fresh water. This goes for all outside animals. They can live for days without food but won't last long without water. THEY HAVE TO HAVE WATER!

I've had 2 dogs in my life to have heat stroke, Skippy being one of them. He was in the shade with water but there was woods behind him and a building beside him so I guess he wasn't ventilated well enough in this stagnant southern environment of summer. That was several years ago, now when I leave if it is going to be 85 degrees I leave him in the house with the AC on.

ONCE A DOG HAS SUFFERED A HEAT STROKE HE IS MORE SUSCEPTIBLE TO HAVE ANOTHER ONE So keep em cool.
