Hi, I somehow missed your reply for 2 days. I just found it. You were through quite a trying time with your dog. It’s been 2 years since we had to euthanize a dog and he was a rescue. We added another rescued dog a few weeks afterwards. We do enjoy taking in needy doggies. We’ve had 3 puppies and 2 rescues over the years. I am starting to like the adult rescues best. It’s nice to have a dog come to you already housebroke and over the chewing phase that puppies have.

Have a good night.

The strange thing with Teesha is she never limped or showed any pain at all. Did fine on walks with me and my Lab Pepper....I could not live without a dog so I told Pepper she better not die until I do...we are both old...starting with a puppy to house train is a big no for me...not patient enough to house break a dog. A vet caused pepper to go deaf with the medicine I put in her ears and didn't know it was the medication until I took her to another vet along with the medication she was on....looked it up on the net and it causes about 20% deafness. Several freepers have asked me the name and they looked it up also but by the time the dog is deaf, it is too late to do anything about it....She then developed SARD (I think those are the right letters...she went blind in 3 days with it...it can cause blindness within 12 hours in some dogs...no known cause, the rods and cones in the back of the eye just suddenly atrophy and there is no cure.(Stands for Sudden Atrophy retinal disease...rare, about 4000 cases in the US last year....but she does well only I can never rearrange the furniture..she walks the walls to get around the house and when she comes to no wall, she knows its a room....Her nose helps her find me and the kitchen and her food...she is a sweet old gal....you have a great week also.. I let her out on her chain and she knows where to do her business and wakes me up every morning by finding which side of the bed I am on and just keeps flipping my legs arms etc. like a dog does when they want you to pet them...she is a stinker in that way....LOL
