Did you know dogs can now have Stem Cell Therapy? The vet uses the dogs own fat cells to make the stem cells and injects them into the area that is damaged like joints, ligaments and cartilage. Almost all dogs see some improvement over the span of 4-6 months.
It is used mostly for older dogs (instead of hip replacement surgery) and costs much less at around $1800 per procedure. It is also less traumatic for the dog patient.
So if you have a pet with arthritis, or joint issues, that is in pain...AND they have a lot of good life otherwise left in them....check into a vet that offers this new technology.
Happy Running to all.

Okay, so the water is a little dirty.
It could mean several things. It doesn't mean I peed or pooped in the water. Or that my feet were muddy.
Frankly, I cannot remember what all I have done in my new pool. Regardless, drop in a chlorine tablet, put your big girl panties on and join me. - Bea (Beatrix, rescued Treewalker Coonhound)

The pictures tell the story....
Walking down the street I spot this gorgeous boy, looking tough through the bars.....
As I get closer, he stares right back at me. I still cannot judge his disposition toward me.
Now I know. He is a love machine. A very well taken care of boy. I share a moment with him and a few kisses.
My kisses are more addictive than I thought. He howls for more as I leave. Take a number kid.

Hey kids. Where is Maisy?
"Don't know and don't care" - Shanti
"Huh. Are you talking to me?" -Sam
"I thought you WERE Maisy driving. I can't see but you smell like her." - Buddy
"I jumped into the back seat and she is not in the truck bed." -Sam
(I came back here because I have gas)
"I don't see her outside running along side us mom. I am just trying to enjoy a little ME time."- Shanti
"Dang, you fooled me again. That is not YOU Maisy, driving the truck?" - Buddy
"I am here momma, in the corner of the back seat. See me? It got too crowded up front"- Maisy
(Pssst, can you sneak me a fry?)
