Wooly
Continuing with dog news, I wanted to share our latest about Wooly. As
some of you know, when I came home in February, we found out that Wooly was developing cataracts. Well, when I went back after Easter, we discovered that she had diabetes. It must have been developing for some time, as she is now having two needles a day. Keith has been responsible for them, and today I gave her one for the first time. In fact, this is the first time I have EVER given anyone a needle! What a weird sensation! Wooly is so good about them. In fact, a couple of minutes before they are due, she comes looking for a grown-up, almost as though she knows that it is just about time. Keith thinks that maybe she feels the need for her insulin at that time. Poor little dog! Higs, Katherine |

Too bad people didn't have the instincts of animals, to know correctly who to trust and who to stay away from. *hugs* Gem |

What amazes me about all the "furry family" members who have lived with us over many years is that they seem to know when you're trying to help them. Even if what you need to do for them is uncomfortable they accept it because of the trust they have placed in you. It was only when I became responsible for my first kitty that I learned that power like that carries ultimate responsibility also.

I have a new 4MO puppy who is always trying to battle with Winnie, my other dog, and the two cats. And we tried a dog out from the pound years ago and sadly had to return her because of her aggression problems. -- Every job is a self-portrait of the person who does it.

My dog and cat don't love each other, but they don't fight either. As for the dog from the pound, it sounds to me as though she had been abused. Poor thing! Higs, Katheirne |

ups.com... don't fight either. As for the dog from the pound, it sounds to me as though she had been abused. Poor thing! Our neighbours had a German Shepherd dog... not too old really (about two years old maybe), as well as an older cockapoo and a middle aged jack russell... they all got along okay. Then they brought home a German Shepherd puppy. When they put it in the kennel with the older German Shepherd (both males), it tried to kill the puppy. They kept the puppy and got rid of the older one. I have no idea if they actually had it put down (I would hope not... considering it got along with the older and smaller dogs), or just gave or sold it to someone else. The younger German Shepherd is about 8 months or so now. He barks a lot (talking, not in an aggressive way, until he sees Casper through the fence)... but I talk to him through the fence (wooden, close together) and he quietens down to listen to me. When I come out to get in the van, he stands by the fence watching me... when I pull into the lane and get out of the van he stands by the fence watching me. When I have a dog biscuit in my pocket, I give him one. He rarely wags his tail, but once in a while when I'm talking to him through the fence he wags briefly. I don't think he is a particularly happy puppy.... the people rarely talk to him (except to say "Shut up" when his barking gets on their nerves), and *very* rarely let him out of the kennel to run in the big back yard. He is left in the kennel all day long while the two older dogs are in the house with the people. :o/ Sad to think that the lady who lives next door is the only friend that poor little guy has, and the only one who pays any attention to him when I come or go... no wonder he comes to stand by the fence watching me when I am out there. *hugs* Gem |
