Hi Joanne

We are heading out to the cabin and will be back January 5. I don't have a computer out there so will correspond with you when I return. It will be difficult as this will be the first holiday out there without our Goobie and I will be walking alone although I know Goobie will be right beside me. Take Care of you and Benny and all the best in 2009

Hi Joanne

Christmas was happy & sad this year. I put the poem I wrote on the table Christmas night. My daughter read it aloud to my husband and son-in-law Christmas day. They were quite surprised that I wrote that. I got the inspiration from Goober. He did all those things I just had to make them rhyme. My daughter also had 1 of his pictures blown up so we can hang it on the wall. This brought a few tears but got us talking about the happy memories he left us with. My daughter helped and we wrote some more verses for the poem which I will repost in the New Year.
We just miss him so much and wish he was still with us.
Have a great New Year with Benny and wishing you & your family all the best for 2009

Where can I find the list of helpful foods you mentioned.Freddie

I see you're keeping an eye on the new member listings too... If the spammers keep coming, I'll start locking up new members until I can confirm that they're for real....

Thanks for your continued help.

Warmly,
Ted

Joanne, How about getting an older dog? This May I got little Mia, a beautiful 3 year old Boston. She is fantastic and a great pal to Waldo. Waldo just developed a little growth on his upper eyelid and yesterday a black spot in the iris of his eye. Yikes! I made an appointment with the vet for next week. I pray it's nothing. As to the biopreparation, I think it's a great product but you are doing SO SO much that I'm not sure you need to do anything else.
I just want you to think about keeping your eyes open for another dog that could use a home. 65 is TOO YOUNG to imagine living the rest of your life without a dog! That's one reason they live such a short time! My mother is 87 and we live together. The dogs have been the best things ever for HER. Please consider this. Benny would be enlivened also.

Hi, Our GSD Flame is dealing with Lymphoma, probably better than his human family are. The quiet dignity and courage that they show staggers me, despite our pain we must be brave for them, as you say, never ever give up on them, return all that unconditional love that they have given us and make sure that what time they have left is filled with love and all their best loved things.

I am 65 years old and live in Oakville, ON., CANADA. I have owned three schnauzers over the past 21 years and presently am dealing with Mast Cell Tumour in our 6 year old Benny. I don't know if I will ever own another dog and my heart is hurting as every day I try to give Benny JOY and good nutrition and positive surroundings.
