Hi Haidee,

It’s my first visit here.

I’m preparing for the FHO surgery of my GSD Charley on the 7th of December so I’m all over the web and came across your article. I must be honest the story of your Shimano tugged at my heartstrings. I can just imagine how devastating it must have been for you and your family. I’d be devastated to lose Charley.

I knew Charley had HD when she came to live with us 3 years ago. Her hips are borderline certified which means there’s a chance the HD would not present itself – but it did. Nonetheless, I’d have invited her into my life even if I knew then what I know now!

Although the problem is only in one hip which also has a fracture I was unaware of. I believe she got that from the abuse she endured before she became part of our family.

At least you know Shimano is over the rainbow bridge and not in pain anymore. I’m confident that the surgery will be successful and Charley’s life will be greatly improved since the type of surgery she’s having has a high success rate. Although a long recovery period.

Thanks for the post. And by the way, Teddie is soooo cute. The name suits her perfectly.

Yep a toy poodle crossed with a lab! Well, mine’s actually a toy poodle crossed with a small labradoodle – making him extra curly, and actually more of a “micro” because he’s only 15 lbs. They consider mini’s to be up to 40 lbs. I know…oodle politics…LOL

OMG cutest dog EVER! I grew up sausage dogsthen beagles. Now we have a fox terrier cross. Crossed with what we’re not sure (we adopted her from a shelter), but we’re guessing corgi. My boys love her to bits.

Oh she is too cute! A year ago we sadly said goodbye to our beautiful boy Orson the same reason you said goodbye to your boy. 🙁 Orson was a nearly 15 year old Golden Retriever and had a beautiful temperament and personality. My husband and I bought him well before we had kids, so it broke our hearts, not to mention our girls, when he died. We miss him a lot and remember the crazy things he used to get up to with fondness. We would love another pet in our family. The girls have even asked for a cat! While I don’t hate cats, I’m a dog person, and couldn’t imagine us living without another dog in our family. 😉

I was always a dog person until I got a cat. Then I was smitten and got another one. Now I’m a crazy cat lady but I still love dogs. And oh my goodness…how cute is Teddie!!! I just want to cuddle her and squeeeeeeze her 😀

You crack me up! Love this story, it will be so much fun to tell and remember as she ages. I am so a dog person, I love that they love back. So much. And it looks like the boys are in heaven! LOL You are the best mom ever!

This is such a warm, touching and cute story. Growing up we always had dogs and only one cat, but I was allergic to cats so my Mom gave our cat to a friend. I am now dog free, I’m not sure if I want to get one just now, they are a lot of work.

Oh what a cutie! I am so with you on cats though. We grew up with cats and I love their independance. We had a rescue dog for a while and the guilt you feel when you come home late….eek! Cats are cool, they’re usually sleeping and enjoying the peace. I think we need to get a dog for the kids but my friends are warning me not to – dog poop to clean up etc etc. Don’t know! I see Marley & Me is on Friday night. Chokes me up everytime. I reckon I’ll fold before long xx

So cute! That oodle is SO CUTE! I never heard of that breed before. I also went blindly into the purchase of a puppy and he has his moments. We were told that half of him (he’s a mixed breed) is prone to hip dysplaysia as well. But, right now he’s 5 and still doing okay. I think it would have been smart for me to do more research instead of just excitedly taking home a puppy when I was 18. Yes, it was less than a year since I’d moved out of my parents home. O.o Haha! But, even though he’s eaten whole cheesecakes I’ve baked, multiple pizzas and has that continuous eating until he dies tendency…I can’t imagine life without him. He has his silly moments where he’s terrified of the vacuum or doesn’t understand that the blinds on the window aren’t trying to kill him. He’s also easily startled. But, I think I’d have a much more boring day without him. 🙂 I’m so happy that even though you’re a cat person you found your little Ewok!
