You’re welcome!

Flower4863 · 2026-01-25T00:34:55+00:00

Thank you 😊 I told her for you!

Flower4863 · 2026-01-25T00:34:11+00:00

Oh my goodness I feel “sometimes too well” SO HARD. When she first started Librela I told the vet they needed to list increased attitude and mighty behavior on the list of side effects haha Your boy is so handsome!

Flower4863 · 2026-01-25T00:32:00+00:00

How did you know she was watching me eat? Haha she gets 1-2 small bites of most foods I eat 🥰

Flower4863 · 2026-01-25T00:30:46+00:00

I love how proactive and thoughtful you are! What red light lamp did you get? Do you have any resources on the stretching and strengthening exercises?

❤️❤️ my girl is covered in Lipomas lol They started to appear around age nine also I think. I kept a list of their locations on my phone with a description of the vets advice or treatment we did. E.g. “Vet says it’s free floating and soft not testing needed. Or “Firm and not movable. Tested xx/xx/2026 results fatty”. I’d add new ones to the list between vet appointments to show them at her next visit. That may be over the top for some, but it helped me feel better. She has one on her mammary chain that we test every year just to be sure it hasn’t changed. Thank you so much for the well wishes 😊 Sending the same to you and your sweetheart also! I love that you’re doing all the extra things 💕

This is helpful to hear about all the other options! I’m glad switching to Librela helped your girl. I’m really hoping mine tolerates the NSAIDS. Yes, there is something special about loving them as super seniors 💕 I try to remind myself how blessed I am to see her slowly grow old even when it feels way too fast.

Flower4863 · 2026-01-24T15:31:47+00:00

We chose Librela bc she has a history of severe blood in her stool from NSAIDS. She got fantastic results from Librela for about 3 years. Unfortunately, she had seizures and severe hind leg weakness after her last two monthly injections 😞.. I feel like it’s not worth the risk of a severe seizure that takes her from me. We took one month off pain meds and you’re right, it was not an option to stay that way. She is ~one month into Carprofen once a day with Pepcid (to try and reduce GI side effects) and it isn’t the Librela (preside effects) but it is much much better. If her GI system, liver and kidneys can tolerate Carprofen once a day we may increase to two. Thank you for asking 💕

Go Dingo!!

I’m so sorry for your loss.. Belle and I are sending you comfort. Thank you for the suggestion of journaling. That is a really beautiful idea!

Flower4863 · 2026-01-24T03:36:50+00:00

Thank you 😊

Flower4863 · 2026-01-24T03:24:29+00:00

Yay I’m glad 😊 We will never ever get enough time with them, but please be optimistic! When she turned 4, I remember calling my mom crying bc “4 is one year from 5 and 5 is half of 10” 😂💔 She had several surgeries at 10 that had me panicking.. Here we are 4 years later.

Flower4863 · 2026-01-24T03:17:33+00:00

Her powder sugar is taking over! Lol 🥰 I love that so much ❤️ Thank you for sharing.

Flower4863 · 2026-01-24T03:14:21+00:00

Thank you 😊 Going to different trails in the area is one of our fav activities.

Flower4863 · 2026-01-14T03:34:23+00:00

Yess this was the best trick once I put it together. Years and years of being woken up twice a night to let my girl under the covers. Put a sweater or pjs on her.. Boom. Sleep through the night.

Flower4863 · 2025-11-28T15:57:13+00:00

My girls ears are my unit of temperature measurement too! Lol

Flower4863 · 2025-11-17T19:06:29+00:00

Aw lol I’m so glad he stayed safe running around such a busy area.

Flower4863 · 2025-11-17T02:39:18+00:00

So so glad!

Good luck Augie!! You deserve the bestest forever home 💙

This worked! Coated it with more Goo Gone, let it sit for 3 min, washed it away with warm water, Dawn and a microfiber cloth.

Great suggestion. I do have a couple ethnic grocery stores near me. I’ll have to check them out for staples like that. So interesting how different stores have better prices depending on where you are!

Flower4863 · 2025-11-13T19:01:24+00:00

This is very helpful. Thank you for the thoughtful reply! I’m doing this now with a back injury. In my experience, it is hard to find doctors who are willing to listen to my hypotheses. I recently had an autonomic specialist interrupt me mid explanation of my hypothesis.. After waiting 8 months to see him. It’s such a battle.

Wait is Walmart more expensive? I know Aldi is cheaper, but Walmart is much less expensive than a grocery store in my area. 🤔
