Keep Good Thoughts for My Two Dogs

[omeg]

Hi Gang:At 7:45am this morning I dropped off both my dogs to get spayed.  They are the loves in my life, and although I know things are pretty routine this day and age, I still would appreciate everyone keeping good thoughts for them. Roxie is my 60lb Lab mix, and her energy level keeps me motivated to give her a better life. She is 4 yrs old.  She is as spoiled as they come, and sleeps with me, everynight.  I wrap my arms around her, and it is just like holding a person.  haha  She is intelligent, knows all commands, and talks back every chance she gets. Cleo is my Shitz zu, and comes in at a whopping 20lbs. She is 2.5 yrs old. Cleo has the biggest attitude of any little dog I have ever known.  She is spoiled, and demands attention when she wants it.  She will whine and whimper and jump in my lap and scratch at me to play with her.  It gets difficult to get anything done when Cleo wants love, and that is alot of the time. These two dogs are simply my best friends.  They keep me company, and make my little house a home.  Thanks for reading, and I appreciate good thoughts for my babies while they have surgury.Will up date this post when I know more, and hear from the doctor.                                                                                                                                                                Pam

Hi Gang: Dogs are out of surgury and sleeping.  They will be quite sleepy when I pick them up. 'Vet said all was normal except Roxies uterus was large, and it took alot longer. They will have stitches and need to go back in a week to get them removed.  They should be eating and drinking normally by tomorrow.I get to pick them up at 4:30pm.  Thanks for all the good thoughts gang:                                                                                                  Pam

 Hi Mben:  Thanks for the good thoughts about my babies.  Your comment about Bob Barker appreciating it made me laugh.  This is true, I am sure he does.  I wish he appreciated it so much he would pick up the tab.  Appx bill for today is $700........                                                                                                Pam

 Thanks bella271:Roxie is doing much better this morning than last night.  She was sooooo out of it, and I was so concerned, even the doctor called me to reassure me she would be fine. Cleo acts as if nothing happened at all.   What a trooper.  They told me Roxie would not allow the sedative to work, so they had to give her a double dose.  Thats why she was soooooo out of it when I picked her up.                                                                                       Pam

Might be time for more medication.  Thanks PSP, it made me laugh.                                                                                               Pam -- Edited by PMM2008 on Friday 11th of February 2011 05:58:56 PM

This is from our member Felicie to Pam. Actually, this is from Felicie's pooch, Maui, to Pam's pooches!

Maui says Don't sweat the small stuff ... Roxie and Cleo!

What a sweet pic that is of Maui.  Absolutley adorable.  Dressed for winter too I see. Roxie and Cleo appreciate it VERY much, and so do I. HUGS. Been several days now, and Roxie and Cleo are doing great.  If anyone out there doesnt want to add to the puppy population, and you can afford it, please have your pet spayed or neutured. My public announcement for the day. Thanks again soooooo much.                                                                                          Pam

Hi friends:Guess I just need to talk this morning.  As you all know I got Cleo and Roxie spayed last week.  The incisions are good, and they get their stitches out tomorrow.There is however still a problem with Cleo.  A little history...Cleo came to me after going thru 4 different homes, why she didnt last at these places is unknown to me. She came with baggage, as any dog who comes thru different places so young in their life will do.   It wasnt long before I came to realize that Cleo had a mean little side to her.  She became very aggressive around Roxie at times, and a violent fight would result.  They would go at it, for reasons I have yet to figure out, and I was the one who ended up getting bite, as I tried to seperate them time after time.   Roxie will not start the fight, but she will not back down, if Cleo becomes aggressive towards her. The fights would happen about 2 times a month. Thats enough, I tell you, as I cant explain the violence these fights entail when they are happening.I was very hopeful that after I got the dogs spayed the hormone levels would level out and we would once again have a peaceful home with no more dog fights. Two female dogs, not spayed, full of hormones, both wanting to be the boss.  Even the vet told me that it was a great chance the fights would end after they had the surgury. The opposite has happened.  Cleo is the meanest she has ever been, growling, starting fights with Roxie on a daily basis.  I have no idea why Cleo is behaving this way, and Even Roxie is starting to get anxious, as she never knows when Cleo will start a fight. Just this morning, about an hour ago, they got into it.  I was in the middle.  I literally was holding Roxies collar so tight I was choking her, as she fought me to get to Cleo, and I was fighting Cleo off with my foot, as she kept trying to attack Roxie. This is maddness.  I've had enough.Getting rid of Cleo is NOT what I want to do.  I gave her a home, and have grown to love her very much.   Spoke to the vet this morning, and when I take Cleo to get her stitches out tomorrow I will have a consultation with the vet about medication for Cleo. Something to stabilize her mood. Prozac for dogs so to speak. I giggle, but it is a serious matter right now.Has anyone out there ever experienced anything like this?  Cleo is only 2, and she has a long life ahead of her, but if I cannot get her moods straightened out,  I may have to actually consider getting Cleo into a loving home with no other dogs.  Just the thought of it breaks my heart. Lets hope the vet has some sort of answer for me tomorrow. Thanks gang, for letting me blab this morning.  I am just a bundle of nerves.                                                                                      Pamwill update tomorrow after the appt with the vet.
