My old girl got bit!

Temple · ~*Service Worker*~

Oh Bless her little heart.

I can't imagine how upset you must all be.

Prayers,
Temple

Awwwwwwwww, Daisy. Sweet girl. You got bit minding your own business, needed stitches and you can't even lick the ouchy. ((((((((D)))))))))

QTIP is the first thing that comes to mind and darn it anyway, you sick, old dog is another. One is Al-Anon. The other is Catherine-non.

One of the prayers I say before I have to enter into a difficult challenge with others who are emotionally charged and it isn't mine: "HP, be in my mind and in my understanding. Be in my eyes and in my seeing. Be in my heart and in my loving. Be in my mouth and in my speaking. Be in my ears and in my hearing. Be in my attitudes and in my actions. Grant me eyes to see this situation and these people as You do and be love in me." Sometimes, that prayer is said after I have felt my feelings and thought my thoughts especially when someone or something has hurt someone I love - to include me. First the psalm of distress and then the prayer for guidance. Then I act and turn the outcome into God's hands. I will ask for what I want and if somebody balks and I can afford it, I leave them with their no and keep my peace. I may not like the outcome but money isn't worth the struggle to me. My HP is my source and Mount Money is not where I want to die. If I can't afford it and they say "No," I look to my Source there, too. My HP has never failed me in this area and serenity is really worth more to me than haggling over something somebody doesn't have or doesn't want to give me.

(((Kenny, wife, son and our sweet little Daisy))). Lots of love, little girl.

awww, when my dog was bit by a raccoon she had to wear the cone of shame for two weeks - she would sit and just look at me, like she was saying, what did I do to deserve this? Poor thing.

hotrod · ~*Service Worker*~

Oh Poor baby!! I am so sorry Kenny. I pray that you use your alanon tools to keep it simple, say what you mean and mean what you say and do not say it mean.
Prayers for a positive outcome all around.

LM Cone of shame is very cute :)

Coda? I thought you were kidding with that name kenny, then the behaviour of coda I could relate to with my own coda behaviour, lol. Your poor wee dog, looks so sad. Im sure you will handle it well.x

Debilyn · ~*Service Worker*~

Shoulda read this before pm! Poor little one!

Kenny they are killing their dog slowly. Dogs are NOT to be on oxycodone! It is a potent central nervous system suppressant that will decrease this dog's heart and respiratory rate and could result in death.

Plus I am sure it it prednisone which is a very powerful immune suppresant and causes mentally unbalanced behavior in dogs! Meaning they are very mean! It does this to people too.

So this poor old dog is being poisoned! No vet prescribed the oxy.

No wonder it is being aggressive. I sure get not wanting to make enemiew with your neighbors. I think I would be putting up a solid wood fence. I am so sad this happened.

His dog is suppose to be under control Kenny, if it was it would not have bit your dog. So it was actually both your mistake. The biting through the fence is totally his fault a again he was not keeping it under control!

So he owes you for half of first bite and all of second!!!! That is the law.....

Hoping things will get better! love! Judge Debilyn! lol

KennyFenderjazz · ~*Service Worker*~

Deb, the vet prescribed oxycodone. Or it might have been hydrocodone, I could be wrong there. The dog is dying, so they are in kind of hospice mode now.

Thanks for the wishes everyone! I swear she got more phone calls and well wishes from people than if I had been bitten by the dog!

Kenny

Sweet sweet little one....hope she feels better soon

grateful2be · ~*Service Worker*~

Kenny!!!!!!! Please!!!!!!!!! Have a heart for the family, please!!!!!! Especially this writer. When it's time for that dumb cone to come off our little Daisy, please take a new picture and put it here. Everything in me wants to drive south, find you, the family and Daisy and rip that stupid thing off her. Me: "Hi, all!!!!! Brought you some Michigan Blueberry Jam. Where's Daisy? There you are, Baby. Rip, rip, tear. Okay! Good to see all of you. Going to Brown County now. Bye. Wave, wave. Gone.

missmeliss · ~*Service Worker*~

Give her a hug from Bowie and I, Kenny.

KennyFenderjazz · ~*Service Worker*~

Thanks for the wishes everyone. Here is a picture as of today. Shes doing well. Neighbor will pay half the bill, not particularly happy, but its the best I could getvout of him without starting neighbirhood war.

Daisy!!!!!!!! Good! You got that ole cone off, sweet girl. I was just gettin' ready to gas up my car for the long drive down, but I guess I can just put the blueberry jam back in the fridge and use it to get in for another rescue operation somewhere else. :^)

Oh, Kenny, darn. I was hoping the neighbor would come through all the way for you - 1/2? Well, although that probably isn't the way you or I would handle it if it were our dog who bit another through our fence, I agree that the $200 isn't worth a war especially when he has tried to sequester his dog and probably couldn't have anticipated it sticking its head through the fence. Let's hope there is no third time. You've been more than generous twice. I'll bring the blueberry jam to soften him up right before you tell him we're going to small claims court. WE?????!!!!! Well, yeah! Somebody's got to be the neutral party praying that you win during the courtroom session. (Okay. I know that doesn't sound neutral - but I'll make it look real good - I promise.)

OOOOhhhhh!

Daisy girl running around barefooted again! Pretty girl!

I bet she gets over it sooner than all of us will.

((((((Daisy))))))

Temple · ~*Service Worker*~

And you live on a lake?

And Melly lives by the ocean.

And Debilyn lives by a river.

And I'm a landlocked Pisces. What Is Wrong With This Picture?

Plenty.

And lots.

Sniff!

grateful2be · ~*Service Worker*~

I have a small woman made pond in my backyard, Temple. There's more than one way to add a water feature to your picture. biggrin

missmeliss · ~*Service Worker*~

She looks great
Hug her from us anyway!
You remember how my dog ate the neighbours rabbit?
And I was so upset and I sent them flowers and locked my dog inside but I thought it was weird that they got a new rabbit and let that one hop around the street too as well as having their dog roam the neighbourhood still?
Well this nice older couple moved in across the street a few weeks ago and one day I heard wailing and crying again...sure enough, their grey-hound did what greyhounds do, he ate the new rabbit as it hopped around the street unprotected. And now those poor new neighbours are probably feeling that awful sickening guilt and that crazy lady is probably out shopping for another rabbit to let loose in the street...
This has nothing to do with what you posted Kenny, aside from we are having a lot of sadness and stress due to bizarre irresponsible pet-ownership in our street and you reminded me of it.
Sorry, that's so far off track.
Your neighbour has to be feeling pretty awful. I had a dog years ago that hurt another dog badly and I felt so bad I just wanted to dig a hole and lie in it. It's a horrible feeling.

Hugs for everyone involved.

Temple, I have an ocean to the south. A lake to the east and a river to the west of me. All of these are within walking distance.
You need to come and live with me, a water-locked cancerian lol.
I got water to the left of me...
water to the right...
lol

PP · ~*Service Worker*~

I have a little pond with a gazillion little polliwogs....

tiredtonite · Veteran Member

Pretty dog! Hope she keeps getting better odaat with the rest of us. (((daisy))) TT

Temple · ~*Service Worker*~

Melly, Paula,

Best oiffers I've had in like, forever.

You might want to check with DDH; he could tell you how incredibly hard I am to live with. Wanting a salt-water pool... Hey, I want a pool boy, as well--not as if I'm asking him to do anything. It would be quite an undertaking unless it was built up. We've got about 8 inches of soil and then granite. I don't know how the trees manage.

KennyFenderjazz · ~*Service Worker*~

The "lampshade" is back on for now. The oil has been irritating her wound a little bit, so we decided it was better to have the lampshade on than irritate the wound at this point.

We did find her a smaller one. With the one in the picture here she was having some problems walking around because it would catch on anything on the floor. She's still pretty pathetic looking, but definitely on the mend!

I shouldn't laugh and I am. I can certainly see how she'd be having problems walking around, eating, sleeping, coughing and doing what dogs do after they do their business. Fortunately, she couldn't get revenge on the other dog. The lampshade would stop her at the fence. God works in mysterious ways.

KennyFenderjazz · ~*Service Worker*~

They both really wanted to get out and hang with mom!

grateful2be · ~*Service Worker*~

Cute and yes, it is definitely a smaller halo. Fortunately, she can squeeze it through that small opening in the window. Hope she could pull it back out? You're tormenting my gentle heart with that pathetic picture of her in the avatar. You know that, don't you, brother? Grin.

KennyFenderjazz · ~*Service Worker*~

Daisy got her stitches out Monday. We decided to try her without the cone of shame yesterday and thourghout the night.

I woke up to the sound of persistent licking. I started to admonish Daisy, then I turned the light on and it was Sunshine giving herself a manicure! So I think Daisy will likely have the halo off from here on out.

Thanks for everyone's responses!

Kenny

PS Catherine, I hope you feel better about the avatar now!

Oh, I do, Kenny, I do. Glad you caught the real culprit. And again - you certainly know how to choose the sweetest faced dogs. I always love to look at their wonderful faces. I'm also glad our Daisy is on the mend and appears to be able to be without her cone of shame. Maybe the neighbor's dog could use Daisy's first one? :^)

bud · ~*Service Worker*~

I'm sorry this happened! Sending prayers

Fairlee · Senior Member

So sorry to hear about this...hope your Daisy gets better quick. I have two dogs. They are family members (and probably spoiled :)) hope the talks with the neighbors goes well.

rainbow · Veteran Member

Sweet sweet Daisy. You seem to be doing a great job helping her recover! Glad it worked out with the neighbour. Would be worseif there was bad feelings there. It was nice of you to accept half of the cost. Hope Daisy keeps recovering quickly.
