Greetings!
 

Hi. Merry Christmas:

Mrs.D, Hopeless, en bloc, Susanne, Doc, echoes of long ago, Glenntaj, Kit, Stacey, Ginnie, and everybody who have shared experiences and information about our dreadful disease. I am so grateful to all of you who replied to all my queries. This forum has linked me to wonderful people who is undergoing the same pain.

Thank you. i pray that the New Year will be a better one for all of us.

Mary

Thank you and Merry Christmas to you and all here on this board!!

It is a great place to talk about our PN, with others who understand. This is the first "disease" I have ever had and this last year has been such a learning experience...the biggest lesson I have learned is compassion for those who suffer from illness/disease/pain.

My heartfelt prayers to all of you for the miracles we are all waiting/hoping for and for a blessed and painfree New Year!

Blessings all!

Doc

Happy Holidays everyone.....

I guess I'll have to speak up for the Xmas kitties now. ;)

This is a recent photo of Weezie and Maya on the living room radiator.... Weezie left and Maya right. ;)

I would have posted a pic of one of our cats, but for some reason they don't really like the hats. :D

Wide-0 !!!! why does that puppy look so sad to be wearing that hat? LOL I want to hug him so much right now!!! Beautiful dog!!!!!

MrsD I am not a cat lover, but they are beautiful cats!

LOL thanks, Stacy. They really don't act like cats much. Weezie doesn't even meow unless very upset (like in the car). She squeals and trills when spoken to, and makes a Wheeeeeee sound--like the white bird in Angry birds (hence her name). She is 3 now and really thinks she is a human. She will even pick up chicken bits with her paw and eat it like finger food!

Weezie helped us raise Maya from a tiny kitten, who we adopted from a rescue upNorth in summer 2012. So that is why Maya is in the pretty bed...Weezie lets Maya have everything first. :rolleyes:
Maya was a little feral, rescued from outdoor living in the rural areas of the UP of Mich. She was afraid of everything ...but the moment she saw Weezie...it was LOVE at first sight. We've never had a cat love another like Maya does with Weez. They are so into each other! Maya even runs thru the house going eh! eh! eh! when she knows Weezie wants to come in! Maya alerts us!
They are alot of fun, and make up games with each other...every day we laugh. So after 40+ yrs of cats, these two are very very unique and not typically feline at all! ;)

Thank you Mary and Merry Christmas to everyone!
We have a pug that thinks he is a cat, and the German Shepherd puppy seems to agree, she certainly treats him like a cat in that she runs him into his box every time he comes out. He made the mistake of not acting like top dog when they were introduced and lost his chance to command her respect as the senior canine.

I do appreciate all the thoughtfulness displayed by everyone here and the tireless efforts to help one another. Thank you.

Merry Christmas everyone!!

This is Mac. He's not sure what he is, but is in charge one minute, then running for cover the next...LOL

He keeps my blind cat, Tyler, on his toes...and bumping into things as Mac chases him in hopes he'll play. Unfortunately, Mac has no idea Tyler is blind and can't see to play with him.

Plan to find a small dog to add to the mix. We lost our beloved Princess (Shepherd/collie mix) last year about this time and I'm just now ready to give another their forever home.

merry christmas and happy holidays to all. french bulldog just had four puppies this morning, 3 boys, one girl

That is really sweet.... Xmas puppies!

Merry Xmas everyone! I've been thinking about these puppies!

I have a question about Frenchies.... are they as much fun as I have heard? Are they smart? The little guys have such tiny ears...I guess they grow mostly after birth? LOL Do they bark alot?

Are you going to name them?
I'd love to see more photos, if you have them. ;)

Heheh. Ironically, she is the happiest dog you could ever encounter. There's tail wagging from dawn to dusk. She just often looks sad in pictures. And she would appreciate a hug! Humans are her favorite species. :hug:

Uh oh... ;)

they are known as clown dogs. they love to play and bow down when they want to. their ears stand up by 4-6 weeks.

ill take a picture of the litter today

here is another one i have, he is a black mask fawn frenchie and the second is a better photo of the mother.

They are really cute. Thanks for the photos. I will eagerly await more of the pups! ;)

i forgot to add that they very rarely bark but that some of them instead of barking yodel........most of them are smart.....the black mask fawn is exceptionally smart. he is also pretty athletic. they are really as close as you can get to a cat in a dog in my experience.

Great thread
 

Thanks so much for your greetings. You started a great thread and are such a great friend to many of us. I join with you in wishing better days for all here. Thanks for all the animal pictures posted by many. Love them. Pets sure can brighten our days, even just pictures of them.

Gorgeous Dog
 

What a beautiful dog. I had a black lab years ago. I have to admit yours is better looking than mine was but I loved her very much. She was good looking but yours is gorgeous.

I want to give that pooch a kiss on the nose!

Wait.... I'm looking closer... does she have a brown head and a black body? (not that it matters, I still want that kiss.)

by special request

I believe--
 

--that the expression on that Lab's face clearly indicates the Christmas hat was someone else's idea--one must stoically endure these crazy humans and their fashion choices.

Oh, she looks like a very good Mom! Do I see a mastitis in her last teat? It looks really red/swollen! Did you have a Vet help with her pregnancy and delivery, etc?

It could also be her (the Labbie's) feelings about cameras/flash photography, or sensing/smelling the handler's trepidation about getting her to sit still for it, or even defference to the alpha's presence (not looking him/her straight in the eye).

It's difficult to tell what's really going on behind those glassy eyes. :D

BTW, DW wants to know how Wide-O got a picture of Ol' Furface. Without a cursory examination of their respective undercarriages, they're ringers. :p

Doc

yes delivery was by a reproductive vet specialist. everything is good. normal for this breed not hot or infected no lumps, checked 3x a day .

They are certainly cute...the ears look bigger already! LOL

They are impossibly cute indeed!

As for Patsy's picture: IIRC Mrs. Wide-O was sitting in front of her, no doubt with a treat, while I took the picture. It's always tempting to read something into it - the Germans call it "hineininterpretieren" - but chances are she was just watching the treat, being very much unfazed by the strange apparel she had to wear ;).

As for the color: this is her in natural light:

Beautiful dog! ;)

very nice dog

Black vs Chocolate
 

Ah, a chocolate lab. The other pic sure looked like a black lab. Beautiful dog no matter what her color. What a beauty!!!

Ah. We have no such puzzlement; we know exactly what this means...

What's my dog doing in your house?!? :confused:

:D

That's easy... looking for a handout!
