hahah!
The little guys always do the ruling!
How do they keep doing that?!
In light of viewing this Bud commercial, I am even more disappointed in the GoDaddy commercial. How could they make fun of such a great commercial from Budweiser?
As you sow so shall you reap.
Yeah those commercials break my heart, can’t view them..the second I see the dogs I change the channel..and they always have to have sad music in the background :( I just want to take all those dogs and cats home
Nemo is 11 years old..he has issues with his back, he gets those pinching pains sometimes and he thinks its coming from his tail so he tries to bite his tail..he used to have this beautiful Pomeranian tail until he started biting on it. His vet said there are meds for his back he can take but Nemo has a very and I mean VERY sensitive stomach so the Vet doesn’t want to risk him getting nauseated or anything from the meds so he said to just live with it..my friend suggested we get the cone to put around his head, that way he won’t feel the need to bite his tail but my sister thinks its cruel to do that for this reason what do you think?
I would love to see a pic of Isis, she sounds like a great dog. God Bless you for taking her in and taking such good care of her. We did the same with Maxie, he belonged to our neighbor down the street, he is a full bred Shih Tzu, they could no longer take care of him and we didnt want him to be killed in some shelter so we took him, 5 years ago..we love him from the moment we got him such a good boy, except he gets mad when you don’t feed him fast enough, it must be a Shih Tzu thing LOL
I have some pictures of Isis on my phone, but for the life of me, i cannot figure out how to transfer them to my pc, and then to an image site.
I’ve got it plugged into the pc on usb right now, but the pictures don’t show up in any folder;/
So I am researching to see if I need some app to do this, but I’m pretty thickheaded about these things.
As far as the cone goes, when my previous Shepherd aged past 12, he began to have some skin sensitivity near his tail, and from time to time he would chew himself bloody.
It was bad.
I tried everything I could think of, but in the end he would always find a way to sneak away for 5 minutes and just ravage himself.
I saw this product on amazon called Comfy Cone, which even though I really hate cones, seemed like it would help. It has padding all the way around in, it’s soft yet fairly rigid, and basically when they lay down it functions as a pillow for them.
It boiled down to trying to make the best of a bad situation. Even though it was frustrating when this happened, I loved this dog more than my own life, so had to find a way to deal with it.
He did spend a good amount of time in his last 1.5 years or so in this cone, but had to do it for his own protection.
The last 6 months of his life he began to suffer seizures as a result of suspected brain cancer. He had to go onto phenobarbitol, which caused him to be incredibly stoned for lack of a better word. he then had balance issues, so the cone could no longer be used in case it would cause him to fall and get hurt.
Thankfully though, during his final time on phenobards, he no longer chewed himself, so his last 4 months or so was precious good time that God gave us with this wonderful animal before he had to go home.
No one, but no one would have given this ad a nevermind; they are reaping the benefits of it being *controversial* and banned. The publicity it got was backdoor borderline genius, as far as a marketing ploy. They made lemonade from the lemon.
As far as the pictures on your phone goes, Im guessing you have an Android Phone(Correct me if Im wrong) I have an Android phone too, an old Samsung Galaxy S, and yes its really tricky to find the pics on your phone when you connect it via USB..what I would do is when the folder opens up, just click each one and see if the pictures appear..they are usually called DRM
If you want you can PM me your email address and I can send you some adorable pics of our boys.
I will look up the comfy cone on Amazon if all else fails Nemo might have to wear it just feel bad for him. He has a pinched nerve, dont know if its common in Poms, but this morning he went outside to do his business and he kept on looking back at jumping(He doesn’t know the source of the pinch so he thinks something is biting him) so he kept on twirling and twirling til it stopped then he went #2..feel bad for him..the meds would help but with Nemo who knows how his tummy would react he’s not your regular typical pooch.
What happened with your Shepherd breaks my heart..I hate hearing about dogs getting cancer, just so sad..I guess everything humans can get, so do dogs :(
it’s a Nokia Windows phone, and I am shocked to learn that Windows phones are apparently not compatible with Windows...
While I clearly have pics on the phone, I cannot simply connect the phone to my pc and then view those files in Windows Explorer for some odd reason.
I did just get this phone, so I am just about completely unfamiliar with it, but I’m going to talk with my friend a bit later who is an expert on such matters.
I feel badly for your little guy. That comfy Cone was pretty good actually. It didn’t seem to stress him out too much. I didn’t live him in it at all times, but when I left the house , it was a must, because that was the time he would take advantage of my absence and chew himself.
When I was in his presence I let him out for as long as I could.
As for his last days, he got as much love as could be given. People food every meal, ice cream, walks, rides, just everything I could think to give. You know when time is running out, you want that time to be the best there was, and it was.
It’s still very hard to even write about this. I’ll just say that the pain of his passing is what prompted me to seek out Isis and adopt her right away.
I believe that I was led to her, and she was led to me.
I know one day in the future, I’ll see Grainger again, and I will hug his neck and laugh and cry when I do.
good idea! a frosty lip color :)
Thanks. Loved it. Thought of Spencer today.
That is news to me that you cant use a windows phone IN windows, I would think that would be the whole purpose
I am wondering if there is maybe an injection they can give him to help a pinched nerve, I don’t know how long he has had it, but he bites his tail from time to time, I think he thinks the pinching is coming from his tail so he bites it, he used to have this beautiful Pomeranian tail, now its half gone, it grows back little by little but then he bites it again..thus the idea about the cone.
Its sad reading stories like the one you told about your pooch..dogs are just such loyal creatures, they are always there for you, no matter what..Nemo knew my sister was pregnant before she even knew it..he started sniffing her tummy like crazy..now he follows her around everywhere(She is in her 9th month, counting the days til he’s born) he is such a loyal dog..very smart, wants to know everything that is going on..Maxie is smart too, in his own way, very nosy, and always hungry LOL.
I will look around online to try to find out how you can get those pics online..or you can just email one to me, I will PM you my email address maybe that will be easier for you, you can just click on the pic and click forward to email
Ah, I found them. I was just looking in the wrong file.
I’ve got them moved to the pc, so I will be able to email them.

This was the cone that I used. I got it off of amazon for about 35 dollars if I recall correctly.
I found it to be an excellent product, though I am sure Grainger would disagree. However, it did its job when it was needed.
Thanks so much for the link to the comfy cone..doesn’t look so bad..if Nemo does need it we will consider getting this for him..anything so that his tail can grow back properly, he had a gorgeous pomeranian tail I miss it..great news about you finding the pics..let me know and I will PM you my email address..actually I will just go ahead and PM it to you now, that way you can just email me the pics when you have a chance, and I will email you some photos of my boys..take care and have a great weekend
I don’t think you’re soft. I think you’re real.
