Platzki, I am so happy to read the news about Dusty!!!ÂÂ
I haven't been online much lately, but I try to keep up with this thread. I was sitting here crying about Dusty and praying I would see good news with the latest posts!!!!
It's so hard when our fur-babies are sick. Before I married Ed 6 years ago, I hadn't had a pet since I was a teenager. He had 2 cats, Buddy and Junior, who quickly took over the house and my heart. Buddy got cancer while I was pregnant with my son Charlie and I hand-fed him tuna fish and turkey, anything he would eat. When he couldn't lift his head anymore, we knew we had to let him go. Then 2 years later I was pregnant with my daughter Jodi and Junior got sick and we had to let him go, too. Ed was balling his eyes out when we took them, me, too, but Ed hardly ever shows emotion.
Now we have Molly, our 6-year-old long-haired mini doxie, and she is definitely just like one of my kids. I've even been fretting over the dog food recall lately. I wanted to change her food because with this recall, I've been reading a lot, and I want to give her something better, but I'm scared to change it now. Everything was quiet for a couple of weeks and I thought I would try something new, but now a lab in Houston has found acetaminophin (spelling?), yep, Tylenol, in dog food! They won't tell which brand(s) are involved. They notified the company a month ago, which was supposed to notify the FDA and never did. And they were foods not already on the recall list. This is way too scary! Now that the FDA is finally involved, who knows how many more foods and animals will be affected?!
Sorry I got off on a tangent, but I'm really glad to hear about Buddy!
Take care, Platz!

R -  My darling hubby was the same way today.  It's such an emotional thing.  I was a basket case. I wanted the vet to give me drugs. It is so exhausting to have another life in your hands.  I am surprised to hear about the Tylenol thing... how on earth does that get into dog food??  I'd tangent too but I'm too tired. I'll tangent later... LOL
Thanks for the kind words everyone.  I just got back from the grocery store so I'm gonna take a rest after responding to some of the posts here... ÂÂ
