Fought some snow/traffic to get to Alameda East in Denver this morning for Molly's appointment. She's a healthy girl, but the doctor thinks there is something going on with her brain, maybe even a tumor.  He took a chest x-ray and will have an MRI on Tuesday. But the good news is that she's responding to the meds that our doctor here in Fort Collins has her on for the time being. Photo is of Dr. Kevin Fitzgerald from Emergency Vets on Animal Planet at Alameda East. He was nice enough to take a moment to meet me and have his photo taken with us. Molly's doctor is from Sydney Australia and lives near Ted's Place. He travels to Denver Mon-Thu -- wow what a drive. Please say a prayer for our Molly-girl.Ellen - Daisy is doing excellent -- the little bugger. Joanne

Daisy!

Miss Molly!

March 6, 2007 - UPDATE

Hi all, Molly had an MRI/spinal tap this morning. We dropped her off at 6:30 this morning in Denver and just got home. The MRI is normal, but we need to await the results of the spinal fluid. She is responding to her meds, which is great news, so time will tell.We'll keep you posted. She has a bald spot on her back just like her dad. Love, Joanne

March 7, 2007 - photos and another UPDATE!Yes, such good news about Molly.  We brought the spinal fluid up with us and dropped it off at our vet's office and in turn they sent it to Colorado State University Vet School here, so we should hear in the next day or so the results.  Poor punkin.  She is responding pretty well with the meds and they will make the decision (neurologist and our vet) how to proceed now.  

We got to meet all the doctors from Alameda East (Emergency Vets and E-Interns on Animal Planet) yesterday. WOW they are all so nice.  Dr. Taylor (the one with the gray mustache) was walking by and he just walked in and shook our hands and just chatted-- gotta love Colorado and what they do there.  It was amazing what we saw. 

This poor large dog was hit by a car, had a broken back, had 2 surgeries one on his back with a long long incision and then bladder surgery with another incision. You should have seen his tail wagging and how they managed to get him up with a sling on his back. I wish humans could be as resilient as animals. Okay -- keep you posted on Molly-roo.  Thank you Ellen for all your support.  You are still their mom.

POPSICLES!!!

I hope everything is alright with you and your family and the dog !! I just want to tell you about Lucy : She is doing just fine. This weekend we went to a meeting with only aussies, a lot of aussies !!!. Everybody liked Lucy!They thought she was so beautiful!!! She is so easy to learn things. In just a couple of weeks she can sit, lay down, jump over obstacle, fetch things and go nice by my side. We have also tried tracking and it went well to. She likes horses and she is NOT afraid of them. Our horses are very nice and that is good for Lucy. I can´t say it to many timed : THANK You for this wonderful dog !!!!!
