Yes Kaylee survived too, thank goodness. Live and learn! I'll be more careful about her bones now. I'm still unsure whether they are any other bones which are no-no's. I know about the cooked thing. Thanks everyone! Joni

I send my prayers to you. I know it is such a loss; I lost Buster in January and my Baylee last Sept. I still cry and miss them both so much; nothing ever replaces that special dog. What gifts of unconditonal love they give us, and death is not a condition either; they go on to fill our hearts...

I think Kaylee is going to be okay. It's now 24 hours later and she seems fine. Thanks for your concern, and I appreciate your replies! I will not feed t-bones from now on because it seems too risky. I am still unsure about whether there are other bones which are no-no's. Any input...

Kaylee still seems ok Well so far no change in her behavior. It ws about 2-3 hours ago she ate the t-bone. I felt so bad taking it away from her, she was so enjoying it. Real test of a gentle dog to let me grab that meaty t-bone right out of her mouth! I hope she digests it fine but I can...

Hi all: Some barf advice for a new barf diet person please! I am new at this and thought all bones were okay as long as they are raw, and I gave Kaylee a raw t-bone. Then, while she was eating it, I suddenly felt nervous about it so I ran down and looked up "t-bones okay?" on the barf...

Hi Jeff: I am amazed by your wonderful dream. You are truly blessed to have had it! Dreams are a very real part of our human (and dogs!) lives; they really do contain great meaning if we care to explore that meaning. I am certain that Orson reached out to you Jeff. The very spiritual nature...

Just keep in mind the the risks associated with general anesthetic are much greater than with a local. (The risks are still small, however there are thousands of people each year who have complications from a general, and some even die.) In addition, it's a lot tougher on your system and...

I meant to add in my last post that a Pet Loss Support Group can be extremely valuable when a person is in deep grief. There usually are regular meetings where you can meet others who completely understand the depth of your pain, who suffer just as deeply over the loss of their friend. If...

I back you all the way I also have a two year old child, and a five year old child, and I have recently adopted a boxer. I have to say I am completely behind your decision to relocate your dog, and what a fantastic blessing that you don't have to send him into rescue; you should be so...

Hi Jeff: I wrote to you some time ago. Just read the latest on your thread and you sure do have a lot of people that care for you! And for Orson! I can see you are still in a huge amount of suffering, and I feel for you. I still cry all the time over Buster, who died right around the time...

What a moving tribute... I read your beautiful tribute, and went to the Rainbow bridge tribute page and saw him, and now I am just crying my wee heart out. I can't believe so many sweet boxers died never having found their forever home-it just breaks my heart. I am so glad you found Jagger, and...

This happened to my husband too! Buster literally took him out at the knees, and down he went! Funny the last post said "knuckle-head," cause that's what we used to call Buster. (That and link-head...) I swear he could hit anything with his head, really hard too, and just walk away unfazed...

Picture of Titus? Is there a picture of Titus anywhere for me to look at ? Love to see him! Joni

More pics to come this week-end. It's going to be a beautiful week-end, so we will be sure to get and get some more shots! Thanks so much for your encouragment, and taking the time to look at Kaylee's pic's! Have a lovely week-end all! Joni

Thanks very much for the input. I am going to try the hamburger with the higher fat, adding a bit to each meal. I'll shop for the bones, and baracade her into the kitchen to start. This is all new to me, because we are vegetarians, can you believe?! All this meat stuff, and raw to boot! I'm...
