Unfortunately, dislocated foot bones. time is not always on our side. Recently, a vet who works Our vet faxed Clancy’s x-ray results to a specialist who said with OBG called me asking for help with a three-year-old dog, that if Clancy were to have any hope of recovering full use of Little Lady. Little Lady’s owner was at her office and his leg, surgery had to be done the very next morning. The wanted to euthanize Little Lady because of really bad skin vet was so concerned that she offered to personally drive issues that they could not get under control. Little Lady was Clancy to the specialist’s office, but first they needed clearly feeling miserable and the owners felt they had no authorization to do surgery that would cost $4000. other choice but to end her suffering.

COOKIE MAY & BLISS’ HAPPY TAIL In my summer newsletter, I told you about eight-year-old Cookie May and her daughter, three-year-old Bliss who came to OBG in late July after they lost their first family to illness and a second family to allergies. Well, I am thrilled to tell you that they just celebrated their four-month anniversary in their new home and are doing great. Their Mom recently updated us on their progress: They are absolutely darling and make me smile every day! We are into our daily routines and they are an integral part of my life now. Cookie was the little play-master from the beginning, and Bliss the snuggler, but her daughter is now playing daily too and Cookie often jumps up to give me kisses. Funny, neither likes the other to intrude on their thing. It has become part of our nightly ritual to go down to the family room after dinner for TV and playtime. Cookie still plays by herself for hours on end, but Bliss is grabbing toys too and likes to chew her toys on my leg (standing up at me on the couch). She is a fan Cookie May and Bliss of tug of war and the many squeaky balls in the house remain Cookie’s After a Recent Spa Day! favorite. Cookie is a very happy and energetic girl (she runs circles around Bliss and me, literally every day). They are by far the happiest puppies I have ever known! Thank you, OBG!
