I make my own wings. I kinda sorta mixed up recipes and came up with a winner! We can kill ourselves on them. Dangit! I need to raise more Cornish Cross!

Did you like the dog? If so, I agree with @Baymule , just stay in touch. Could happen in a week, could be 6 months. If it is the right thing, it will. I once had a farm that had a beautiful White German Shepard. She was a sweetheart, friendly and just a great dog. The kids mentioned one month when I was testing that they might get rid of her because they wanted a norwegian elkhound....???? So I said if they ever did decide to get rid of her, to let me know. A short time later on, they called one day, said did I still want Emmy? I said well, sure, how come; well we are getting the norwegian elkhound. I said okay, when do you want me to come get her? well, can you come today????? WHAT?????
So I said okay, went to the farm about 2 hours later, and got her. No one seemed to really care that they were just shipping her off. I know she was confused for a few days, but she stuck by me, probably afraid I would just discard her, like they did. I had her more than 8 years, until she got leukemia and I lost her. She never barked except when she got on the back of the pickup as she LOVED to ride on the truck. She would LOVE YOU TO DEATH, didn't know a stranger.... BUT she was so big, and looked so fierce with that big wide teethful GRIN, that everyone was scared to death of her. No one would get out of their car at the house... I did make sure the UPS guy was okay with her because of sending the milk samples off all the time, and NO ONE would dare touch the truck if she was in it. SOOOO FUNNY. One day I will find another to replace her. It has been nearly 10 years, and still haven't clicked with another dog, and my hours were such that a puppy was not in the mix. Once I get a little more retired, and into a different place, then we'll see. They come at the right time....

Miss @B&B Happy goats,

Maybe you will be getting that dog sooner or later. But here is something that troubled me a little:

That's what PTSD does and why i get meds

I fear my Senile Texas Aggie memory is failing, as I don't remember about your PTSD. Did you tell us about it here on BYH and I have simply forgotten? If so, please forgive me for not remembering. I will look back through your journal and refresh my memory. If you did not tell us about your PTSD, would you kindly share, as much or as little as you wish, what happened? You are among my favorite of folks on this forum and I would like to offer whatever support I can, as I am sure others would as well.

I didnt get to meet her, that was to happen today.....it will happen if it's supposed too....the woman is 88 and having to deal with her life changing and parting with all her farm animals....she knows she can't care for the dog properly she said, but her heart is confused......gotta let her process her choices her own way. She placed the ad, and found out she is confused. Gotta respect that, your lucky to be 88 and still have all your animals!...

Yeah, has to be hard for her. Might be useful to send her pictures of your place with a note saying something about if she should change her mind. Could be helpful if she knows the dog will have plenty of space and plenty to do.

I thought it was because you were depressed at not dreaming about The Donald anymore Seriously, I'm glad you looked up the side effects and hope the doctor will know how to ease the transition.

 

[Rammy]

Talk to your Dr about this. He/she should of advised you in the first place about stopping and starting new drugs. Thats on him/her.
Hope you get the info you need. Its good you recognized something was wrong. Take care of yourself.

 

[Bruce]

Sure hope you get that cleared up fast! Very glad you recognized the problem for what it was.

 

[Baymule]

Some of these drugs must be tapered off gradually. Your doctor will tell you how to do this.

 

[Baymule]

Modern pharmaceuticals are both a blessing and a curse. They may fix the immediate problem, but cause a whole nother set of problems. Prednisone saved my sister's life, but it ate away her joints and she has had both hips and shoulders replaced. What was her choice? Give up and die or take the meds that saved her life?

Girl, you just be careful, look everything up, watch for side effects and listen to the doctor with a grain of salt.

That is great news on Missy! Glad she is doing so good.

Hmmm......raw diet is doing so good for Missy, maybe you should ditch the meds and eat dogfood?
