FourLeg: Gratitude-Surgery-Paralyzed Dogs- and a new washer/dryer unit!

Published: Mon, 09/01/14

A week of gratitude
So many good things this week…

1.  I got a new Washer / Dryer… and my oh my, but the simple joy of washing stuff is sadly thrilling!  (Lets just forget that the oldest son overloaded our previous 21-year-old washing machine and killed it!  As we told him…we loved that washing machine before we even thought of having you!!!)
2. I have a guest blog contribution!  Great new ideas and I don't have to write a blog!
3. Kids go back to school next week. 
4. Typing this as I sit at my cottage.  There is a concert at our little private beach and I am volunteering to serve ice-cream soon (gotta get this typed up before my shift!)
5. Even though summer has been a little tough on the diet, I can still fit into my jeans!
6. My husband will willingly pick up the squishy dog poo in the back yard dog run  (I tried yesterday, but the bag had a hole in it… I barely made it to the sink in time to wash it off  before the dry heaves began!!!)
7. All of my therapists are back from holidays at the clinic!

Now, what do I have for learning for you this week!

Guest BLOG - what owners want...

Guest Blog - By Sharon Seltzer  A couple of weeks ago, Sharon contacted me for an interview for her blog -http://lessonsfromaparalyzeddog.com - she wanted to know what advice I could give to her readers, people wanting to help their paralyzed dogs.  She asked if I could let FourLeg members know about her blog as a resource for our clients.  I asked if she could write a blog for me that give us a sense of what owners of paralyzed dogs would like from their health care professionals.  So here it is!

What owners of Paralyzed Dogs want & need from YOU!
 
Did you know?
HEY MEMBERS!
Did you know that you can search for any topic on the Members' side of FourLeg.com?  There is a little search bar on the righthand side of the members page that will show up on any page - so long as you are logged in.  You can search whatever topic and it will give you a listing and link to videos, articles, blogs, newsletters, audios etc that contain that topic!  Give it a whirl!  I've been quite please with it's functionality…(and it shows where I need to add in some additional content.)  Use as many descriptive as you can:  Achilles, calcaneal, hock, tarsus, gastrocs… to pull up all of the related info!)

Have fun with it!
