Quick update on Diva Shasta


I was able to get Diva Shasta into the dogtor Tuesday evening 

after work which was a good thing.  She did have an abscessed anal 

gland and it had ruptured sometime during the day on Tueday while I 

was at work.  She is now on antibiotics and at times already acts better 

and is eating better and even played a bit earlier Wednesday evening .  

I hope this will be the ONLY time she (and me) have to deal with this - I 

could tell by her behavior that she was in a lot of pain.


Now for not so quick explanation of my "house malfunction".  A few months

ago, the handle on my backdoor came off and even tho it was still 

usable when the handle was on the door - I could get the door open 

lock it, however the handle would VERY OFTEN fall off. Then early last 

week, I was going to let the dogs out before we went to bed - I lifted 

 up  on the handle to turn the latch which would unlock the deadbolt 

HOWEVER instead of unlocking the deadbolt, the latch kept turning 

around and around and the door remained tightly locked shut - and 

this door is the ONLY way out to the fenced backyard.  So my sis went

to the hardware store to see what could be done - the door was

Andersen which I had installed a few years back and the place that

installed it had gone out of business - the hardware store didn't have

what my sis needed to fix the door.  However they did have a phone

number for her to contact for the parts she needed for that brand of

door.  Now to shorten this story a bit - sis had to order the parts and

they finally came in about 6 days later and my sis was able to fix it that

day.  Now you ask - so how does that interfere with posting - well, since

that IS the ONLY door to the  fenced backyard -I was getting up at

4:30am during the week so that I could take EACH dog SEPARATELY

out the front door, around, the house and thru the gate to the bakyard - .
this would not usually be such a big deal EXCEPT this routine was done 

BEFORE AND AFTER they ate and I was still getting ready to leave for 

work by 7am.  Plus this was when we were having those frigid temps

and snow/ice.  Then when I got home from work, that routine was 

again repeated - before and after dinner plus at least once before bed - 

more often twice.

Well, that was an ordeal to me  HOWEVER  like I said, my sis was able 

to fix it and I now have a new appreciation for a good working bakdoor 

as well as my sis being able to fix it. 

Still not sure about more time to post - seems like when me and the 

Beaglebratz get ready to do a post - something interferes - like life.  

And March is Shiloh's barkday month so gotta git bizy on sumting here 

and there.  Ok - MY dinner time - the Beaglebratz have already eaten.

DIVA SHASTA NEEDS SOME POTP

Mom Kim here - I have just a few minutes before I need to finish getting me and the Beaglebratz ready for my workday.

It looks like Diva Shasta may have an inflamed or swollen anal gland.  She will be going to the dogtor later this afternoon if I can get an appointment for her.  It is bothering her at times and also at times she is a little reluctant to eat - being a chow hound this is what bothers me the most.  She is drinking and pottying ok.

I wish I had more time so I could give you all some info why we have been more scarce lately - NOT related to any health issues - mine or the dogs but simply a house malfunction.

Ok - gotta go for now - will try to update when I know more.
Please send some POTP and prayers for Diva Shasta - thank you.

Mom Kim
