He was a big version of Cora, a big yellow sweetheart. His name was Jeb.<br /><br />I read about Cora and was feeling sad about both her and Jeb, so went out tonight and looked up at the stars - so many up there - just to get out and away from averything. And I'll be darned if I didn't see something that looked like it could be old Jeb running through the night sky, all happy go lucky, really stirring up a trail of stardust - and there right behind him was someone that looked like little yellow Motormouse chasing him, and several other dogs on their trail, ones you and I both knew from long ago.<br /><br />They were streaking through that night sky like blue metallic meteorites!<br /><br />You know, they're always with us.

I am not...I am so sorry to hear about Motor Mouse. I am not sure if your trip home will take you anywhere near Stillwater, OK but the Oklahoma State University Veterinary School is phenomenal.<br /><br />We took our English Bulldog there last year and was so impressed with the veterinary staff and students. They have an awesome program.<br /><br />Our Daisy dog had an inverted corkscrew tail that had been a problem to keep clean and an aggravation to her with the almost daily cleaning. The last straw was a serious infection that popped up overnight and was very painful for her. <br /><br />So, we made the decision to have her tail amputated. Major surgery for a bulldog is very serious due to their lack of a nose and their large barrel chest for airway needs. And, amputation of the tail is serious and can have major complications if not done right. They are actually doing surgery on the spine.<br /><br />We live almost 3 hours away so we had to take her to Stillwater; then come home and wait. <br /><br />They did the surgery the next day. There was a senior clinician over the surgery and a resident in surgical training that did the surgery and she was great. She called me as soon as the surgery was over to give me all the details.<br /><br />Daisy was assigned a 4th year veterinarian student to care for her. Each student is assigned only one animal. She called me twice a day and kept me posted on Daisy's progress. <br /><br />Daisy had to go to ICU due to low oxygen immediately after surgery and in ICU she had 24 hour care by a vet tech and student vet tech. Again, superb care.<br /><br />They are a teaching hospital and tail amputations are not common so Daisy's surgery was filmed and will be used in the surgical courses for future students.<br /><br />Just wanted to let you know in case you felt you needed to have Motor Mouse checked out on your way home.Arkansas Travelers in Timehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16369459897143077896noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10886995.post-40633709584220246112012-03-31T16:09:34.331-04:002012-03-31T16:09:34.331-04:00We just read that Cora has passed on in Kelly'...We just read that Cora has passed on in Kelly's post on facebook.....<br /><br />Dogs are soo special....

Sometimes you never get to met the people you follow, but you get to know them through their writings. You, Kelly and the furry kids have become part of my blog family, so I'm sending prayers and healing energy your way for little Cora. Wishing you, Kelly and the Furry Kids a safe journey home to Canada and I know you will get good news on your condition. I know you both hate to leave your new home so soon, but it won't be that long before you get to return in the fall. I was so glad to hear that the electrical problem was an easy fix. My birthday wish for Kelly is a beautiful rainbow and a night sky where the stars are so bright that she can touch them.

It sounded as though she was recovering quite well over the past week or so.<br /><br />Prayers that you have a safe trip back to Bayfield, and that Cora makes it back home safe & sound one more time. Of all the dogs we've had -- and there have been many -- we've only been lucky enough to have one make it past 13. Every day I'm grateful our Bailey wakes up in good health (besides having lost most of her hearing, and being limited to short walks these days).
