That theraputic theory went out the window long time ago.  Heck even having fish in a tank made my blood pressure go up.  Spent a fortune nursing sick $1.00 fish. 

 

Back to poor Raisin.  How long does she have to have stiches in (if she ever will keep them in)  You are going to have to handfeed her. lol!

Darn it...Bully's aren't easy to do a favor for, are they?

 

When we got Zoey we fed her mother's milk replacer from a tiny baby bottle.  Of course the lunkhead, Wosie wanted a bottle, too.  Had to go to Safeway and get her a regular babybottle and give her some milk replacer, too. 

 

Don forgot he was bottle-feeding Wosie and she pulled the nipple out and ate it and half of the plastic baby bottle.  Called the vet and he recommended we give her some OTC mineral oil as a laxative and he reassured me by saying: "Diana, you know, This too shall pass."  He hung up laughing his head off and calling his staff sayinng "Guess what Wosie has done now>>>>>."

 

English Bulldogs get into soooo much trouble without even trying!!!!

Here's my example of pet therapy that happened tonight!

 

Dog hears noise. Dog barks like madman. Charges after door, Gets caught on cord for lamp.  Lamp fell. Lamp Broke. Lamp put a nice dent into my end table.  Bird (without wings) flys.

 

I open up door and there is no one there!

I'm so sorry--but

 

Phooey, I wasn't laughing at Raisin. Dang, I am embarrassed.

Poor little dog.

Geeze Nan....that would be a grey hair making day for me!  That or I'd be pulling it out.  Anything like that just makes me jittery..even after all the years of doing rehab.  When stitches get pulled in sensitive areas..I get worried.  I sure hope she settles her little sweet butt down and heals! 

Pets are therapeutic for me. Even sick ones. Even though Sonny is sick so often, when I hold either dog in my lap and stroke it, I nearly fall asleep. Hubby gets so tickled watching me with them. I need a dog to sleep with but my bed is so high off the floor, little legs would get broken if they fell or jumped off so they are left in the kitchen at night.

Nan, I'm so sorry that you and Raisin are having such a hard time with her stitches.  I will be praying that things will start going better for her.  Kathy
