Hi Catherine...I'm assuming that you are putting just a small amount of water in L.D.'s bowl at a time. Remington coughed each time he tried to drink water ...
Lisa, I am so saddened to hear about Amber--she reached a good, old age. This happened to my sister's almost 17-year-old dog. She slipped one day and it left...

Cody has been terrific and is now 9 weeks post-op. No problems at all and in fact he appears to be getting younger! At 13, he looks 7 or 8 and he acts as...
