[nagdu] NO BARKING TODAY!!!!!!!

[Tracy Carcione]

Hi Donna.
I wish more vets knew what your old one did.  We're much more tuned-in to
our dogs than the average pet owner, and we usually know when something's
wrong.
Tracy

Daryl,
Yea:) I'm so happy and relieved. It's hard for a girl to deal when she's not
feeling up to snuff. You should be proud of yourself for going with your gut
and getting her to the vet. And, it's a lesson in just how close and tuned
in to her you are.

I had an old vet (as in he was ready to retire) back in the early '80s, who
used to tell a story about being a student at Penn Vet Med back prior to
WWII. His professor told them that, if a blind person came in with their
guide dog and said there was something wrong with the dog, and if you as a
vet couldn't find anything, then you should keep looking. '
Blessings,
Donna & Hunter

I want to throw the biggest party right now!

All day, Jenny didn't bark at anything or anyone, the first time in nearly
10 days of daily barking in harness!

Her scavenging has increased slightly, but with the melt on, that's not
unusual, and I can work on it.  She is looking around a lot, but doesn't
seem to be fixated on any one thing.

Before anyone says this is just chance: she had no fewer than six people
approach her on her left side while we were waiting for the bus this
afternoon - from in front, from behind, with carts, wagons, what have you.
Previously, at least one of these would warrant a stand-up and "Woof!" and
all she did was turn her head and look as they passed.

The relief I feel is so immense, I can't even tell you!  Even if the
behavior continues occasionally, at least it's something I can deal with :)

Daryl and the quiet Jenny
