I was just looking through the list of topics and as I was scrolling I noticed the one titled "Pets Living With Disabilities".

Wow, I thought...this message board really does include EVERYONE. And what about all those selfless people out there who are devoting their lives to pets who might otherwise be put to sleep???

I tell you, noticing that was quite a humbling experience.

Then I opened one of the threads and started to read.

Then I opened another one and started to read.

And another one.

And another.

Then I backed out and read the title of the thread again.

It's official. Either I'm an idiot, or my flair is worse than I thought.

The thread is titled "Parents living with disabilities".

...Well, we are Parents to our Pets, so it kinda fits..

Welcome to my world!!

I read things that aren't there...kind of a "Twilight Zone" thing I guess.

I read things wrong too.



But I did have a somewhat disabled dog. We were quite a pair. I think I needed here more than she ever needed me on her worst day though.

She spent a couple days paralysed in her back half. And walked again. Then we rehabbed her after a pretty serious stroke. The vet was amazed - so were we.

It wasn't nothing. She'd have done the same for me. She was the best.

OMG, after reading the thread title and starting to read your post, I thought gee I never noticed pets with disabilities before!!! So I started laughing about it.

Then I stopped laughing, a disabled dog, how sad. Pets are so precious, but they can have problems just like us. Only they can't tell us what's wrong.

My miniature poodle is "brain damaged" and so am I only I have MRI's to proove mine!!

OMG....that was soooo funny!!!!!

I am reading your post with intensity because I have a dog that broke both of the ACLs in his knees & had to have surgery on both last September. He's having a lot of pain & my vet & I are debating getting him a little doggie wheelchair so he can take walks. So, I'm reading your post looking for hints on poor 'ole disabled dogs.

When I read ""Parents living with disabilities", I started laughing so hard, I was crying! Thanks for the laugh.

Thank God I wasn't drinking anything when I read this.

You seriously need to hear Seamus Kennedy's song "Old MacDonald had a Deformed Farm"

It's actually not the best video, but it's still funny. You gotta read the lyrics (or hear Seamus Kennedy sing the song--it's too bleedin' funny!!).

That post should have had a snort warning! Tooo funny!

I was all ready to describe Rocky's "social disability". He hides from company, even our sons!
