sheepfarmer,
Tick paralysis was the second thing that we checked on, it wasn't the cause in this case.

Darn, that's less awful than the other things you mentioned. Hoping still she comes around soon without surgery. Fingers crossed.

We were wondering how the boys were gonna be with her. But Zeus is actually guarding her and won't let jack near her.

That is so funny. Pets end up doing the opposite of what you'd expect.

When we got our female mutt ( black and white rescue), our 1 year-old male (rescue) was all rough and tumble with her. By the time she got to six months old, she was standing up for herself and giving it back at times. Now, at 3, she is taller, stronger, and way faster than he is. He will still play with her, growling and biting on her legs. Usually, she just lays down letting him bite her leg (playing) growling, sometimes spinning her around like a pro wrestler move. Big tough guy. RIGHT. She absolutely loves her big brother.

But, when she wants to show him who is boss, she can. She is the ALPHA. Often, when we come home from walks, she will run into the driveway ahead of him and turn around with this goofy smile. She becomes a football player on the line of scrimmage and she will not let him past. They will growl and bare teeth as she chest butts him back on his butt, but he can't get past her, -unless she lets him. Sometimes he will head-fake her like he isn't interested and then he runs as fast as he can, but she catches him -if she wants to.

They are best buds for life.

We have been going down to the hospital every day to spend as much time with Vixen as we can (Weekends have limited visiting hours as it is a college), we take her food and feed her, Subway ham and cheese foot long on 9 grain wheat, and then today 4 cheese burgers, Yes she has always eaten people food so her system likes it. ;)

She's almost completely paralyzed from the neck down, it's scary, but all her doctors think she will make a full and quick recovery.

Tomorrow (4am as it is 3 1/2 hours away) we are headed down and will spend the next 2 days down there, her MRI is tomorrow and the surgery the next day will take all day, they think she will be able to come home Wednesday or Thursday.

Thank you to all that have given their prayers and support to her and us!

Here she is getting some quality time with mom and her favorite surface... grass today!

Wolfman, thanks for the update. And very glad to hear that they are optimistic. I know how we feel when one of ours is hurting or sick. I couldn't imagine what you and your wife are going through right now. Vixen seems like a wonderful companion. We have our fingers crossed and hoping all goes well with surgery.

Walked in the house tonight and thought I was seeing double :eek:

daughter came by earlier before she left for work to feed and check on gypsy. Her husband wasn't feeling well, so she left Lennon at our house for a play date. And will pick him up after work.

Jacks upset that there is another baby at the house. Had to put the puppy's out in the sunroom and love on jack to get him to take his treat.

VIXEN!!! HOW CAN YOU DARE LAUGH AT A TIME LIKE THIS!!!

It just melts the heart (let's not mention what it does to the eyes!) to see that look in the midst of all her difficulties. Any yall's courage is commendable, though you prolly can't see any other way to be.

Thank you for keeping us informed!

This is very hard to write.

Vixen passed away yesterday afternoon.

We are completely devastated by her passing.

She had very aggressive spinal cancer and hid it from us right to the end, the toughest and bravest girl I've ever know!

NIW, I am beyond sorry and crying too. Been worrying all day, as I know what it is like to sit outside the clinic doors, and then have to make that decision.

NIW,
That's a rough spot to be in. The memories of our pets still hang around though. As I read your last post, I was reminded of the Black Lab, Belle, I had growing up. Belle pushed so very hard until the very end. She simply refused to give up. A very difficult decision had to be made, since her joints weren't working, always needed help getting up, and laying down. If she wanted to lay down and nobody was around to help her, she would just topple over. In spite of that hard decision, I can still see her running after squirrels and digging up moles with that goofy, dirt covered grin on her face. My thoughts and prayers are with you in finding peace through this time.

Sean, I'm very sorry for your loss, I wish there was something I could say to ease the pain. I have been there, so in some small way I know what you're going through: we lost our shepherd/husky to the same disease. Again, I'm sorry. I can't write anymore.

So sorry for your loss NIWolfman... I understand the pain, lost a few myself over the years.

Only thing for it, at least to me, is to remember all the good times, love and play for all the years you knew 'em. I'm tearing all up just remembering that with the ones gone now.

I hate to hear it, but she'll be waitin' for ya on the other side and that's something to look forward to.

Im sorry my friend, I know there is a spot in your heart that will never be filled, even with a new pup. They say a man is entitled to one good dog and one good woman in his life,,,,,,,, I got lucky I had several good dogs, I'm still waiting for the second part to come along

So sad indeed.

Thanks for sharing the pictures of her with all of us. She was a beauty.
