Non dog owners don't understand
I have a tiny 5 lb Pom with a slipped disc in her neck. She is taking
Prednisone(steroid anti-inflammatory) and Robaxin (muscle relaxer) She is also going to have accupuncture. When I told my Mom and some friends that don't have four footed furry friends they say I'm insane! They have no clue how to understand that she is important to me and my life second only to my 2 footed teen. Usually she is easier to manage and please then he is Thank goodness people here get it. Well the rest of the family that we live with understands too. -sunny .. |

Well, there's hope for such people. Case
in point: My wife is Chinese. She last visited home when she was pregnant. During that visit, she revealed to her parents that we have a large dog. They immediately urged her to get rid of it before the baby arrived. Seems that though young Chinese now keep small dogs, older people consider large dogs in the house tantamount to keeping sheep in the house. Fast forward five years. Her parents came to visit us for a couple of months. They instantly fell in love with the dog, and took him everywhere they went. By the time they returned, the dog understood more Chinese than I did. Regards, -Larry Curcio Sunni12 wrote: I have a tiny 5 lb Pom with a slipped disc in her neck.

You are so right. We've fielded questions about our sanity so many times in
the past year and a half. Our dog has had 2 separate cruciate ligament surgeries to the tune of somewhere around $4500 in total costs. We never considered not doing it. Many think we've totally lost our minds. "Sunni12" wrote in message ... I have a tiny 5 lb Pom with a slipped disc in her neck.

Same here, two cruciate surgeries...my snotty neighbor was making comments like, "Ooooh, her dog's had her knees done!" What the hell was I supposed to do, let her drag it the rest of her life? --Regina |
