Re: Pet Meds on-line

She's 10/11 years old. Except for the time before she was diagnosed as
hypothyroid, she has not slowed down much which was why we brought her in
when she started losing her hair so bad and would stay in bed until noon.
She still likes to catch Frisbees and balls and swim in the ponds when we
take her to the woods <although not as often as she would like, but with her
allergies and all it is not just smart>. But she has become very needy of
attention lately which is driving me nuts. She's like a two year old kid.
If you are petting her, she has to pet you back. If I'm talking to DH, she
has to be right in the middle. If one of the cats comes into the room, she
has to chase them right out for fear we might pay attention to them instead
of her. And the worse thing is she has become an obnoxious guard dog. We
live across from a school/city park and whenever anyone walks by she barks
and barks and barks. Never use to do this, but now it is for every single
person who walks past the house on either side of the street. Which you can
imagine is a lot of people with the neighborhood walkers, the kids going to
the park, school, home from school, the parents picking up kids, etc. At
least when she was in bed until noon, it was quiet until then.

And their tails are lethal. Our first lab we adopted from a family who was
moving to an apartment and could not keep her. She was a great dog, but
both DH and I worked outside of the house then. Everynight we would come
home to her tail wagging knocking everything off the tables, etc. So we
moved furniture around and unfortunately, left open a corner of the wall.
That dog would stand in the same place and wag her tail until we got in.
After a couple of days of this I guess she actually injured her tail and we
came home to this bloody horrible looking mess as she broke open a sore on
her tail and blood was splattering everywhere!!
