Viking Queen pm'd me recently asking about my dog. (thank you mam) It was a long haul but he's in healing mode, and has turned the corner. Still has some open sores but they are so much better. I don't think to often about praying for a dog but I do believe your prayers and concern has helped. Now to approach the company that started the problem to see if they are going to stand good for a big pile of bills. He's starting to get back his old personality, which had concerned me a lot. He wouldn't eat for a long time. As most of you know that if a Lab isn't eating he's thinking about eating and now he's back to that. We still have to have the Cone (of silence) over his head so he doesn't lick himself and keep his sores going and doesn't like it but I think that's helping . Thanks so much for all the advice and concern for him.
