Speedy Recovery Auntie Pat!!
We are sending pawsitively speedy recovery wishes to our Auntie Pat!! Yesterday, in the middle of the worst snow storm ever....she slipped on the ice in the parking lot where she earns her kibble....and broke her arm!!
The break is between her right elbow and shoulder...so no cast can be applied, but she has to wear a slingthingamabob til it heals!!
We hope your arm doesn't pain too much!

Thank You From the Bottom of our Paws
We have returned from Grampie's memorial service & spending time with loved ones. Our Nani is very sad, (which makes us sad) but we provided much comfort, love & support.
We thank everyone for their expressions of sympathy, not only the wonderful folks in Bloggeville, but our friends who sent emails, cards, & posted messages of condolences.

Invisible Boots??
Bet ya'll think Mama has gone crazy...or we've driven her there...slowly! Well, you'd be wrong!
See...Mama bought this jar of stuff at Global Pet Foods....and it's for our paws!!
We get it slathered on our hoofies,(just before we go outside) and it protects our precious pads from cold, road salt & ice. (not that we are forced to walk outside much this dreadful winter!). But we do luv our invisible boots! It's a yummy & lickable stuff, make up of beeswax, oils & plant stuff that protects while soothing & moisturinzing our tootsies!
Warning: Don't walk on tile floors wearing your invisible boots.....cause it's like skating on four paws!!!

Canine Cognitive Dysfunction
In dogs, as in humans, aging is progressive & irreversible. Dogs can undergo a variety of physical & metabolic changes that may cause discomfort and/or change their behaviour. As dogs age, their cognitive ability tends to decline.
CCD is often referred to as “old dog syndrome” or “senility”. Symptoms can be disorientation, appearing lost or confused in the house or yard, getting “stuck” in corners or under/behind furniture, staring into space or walls, difficulty finding the door, not recognizing familiar people or responding to their own name, interaction with family members—seeks attention less often, does not want to be petted, no longer greeting family members, and for Xena, who once loved to be held....she would no longer snuggle.
We found her sleeping more more during the day & less at night, heavy pacing, wandering & crying were also symptoms she was experienced. Some dogs bark for no reason. whereas she would cry. Nothing we tried would pacifiy her.
Housetraining—urinaing indoors; having accidents indoors soon after being outside. We pretty much depend on pee pads now....
The vet informed us that because older dogs may also develop other health problems, diagnosis of CCD can only be reached after other medical conditions that have behavioral components have been ruled out.
Along with Clomicalm, Xena has been prescribed a sedative, to help her sleep. We also use the D.A.P. (Dog Appeasing Phermone) plug in...)
Our goal is to keep Xena as content as possible & monitor her closely should the symptoms accelerate.
