And thinking positive thoughts. <br /><br />ps~ the dogs asked me to ask you to let me know when they can uncross, because it is near impossible to walk down the steps to go out.Colleenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09277865083446912686noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-44123558324183958452011-02-27T19:03:52.156-08:002011-02-27T19:03:52.156-08:00I hate puzzles (except for jigsaws) - so am hoping...I hate puzzles (except for jigsaws) - so am hoping and praying for a good outcome for Sadie's eye.<br /><br />Hopefully her meds will heal whatever is happening!<br /><br />SharonAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-14381790871723864822011-02-26T13:57:08.744-08:002011-02-26T13:57:08.744-08:00Yes, a timely warning, Jean.

An...Yes, a timely warning, Jean. Thanks for that!<br /><br />And, catching up with comments today, so will send my best to Zuke (terribly sad news, but hoping for the best possible outcome).<br /><br />Also, sending healing thoughts to Sadie, and hoping that she too has the best possible outcome to her puzzling eye issue.<br /><br />Loved the Hubbard update. Thanks for keeping us posted. It seems so long ago that you were knee-deep in puppy-dom, but I still think about them (and Lucy) and wish them the very best.Black Jack's Carolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18436115876996209227noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-82902721413280861642011-02-26T09:13:23.346-08:002011-02-26T09:13:23.346-08:00Sorry, Cheekster, I misunderstood.

Still, there are lots of frozen ponds around here which are dangerous for dogs, so the warning is still timely.<br /><br />I'm glad you weren't hurt.

The dog was blind, deaf, and mostly senile, but she kept a good weight, wagged her tail when you scratched her, and still enjoyed things like napping in the sun. the decision to euthanize came when winter fell. My friend was afraid the old dog would run onto the pond in her confusion and fall through the ice. It was a torturous death that she just couldn't risk. Frozen ponds, especially hidden in a frozen landscape of all white, scare the hell out of me.Domhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00139769676714813261noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4041437999194031830.post-17784311382685953032011-02-25T03:58:12.296-08:002011-02-25T03:58:12.296-08:00Oh goodness Jean, that's COLD for the island, ...Oh goodness Jean, that's COLD for the island, isnt it??
