Last night we had to put our Labrador Daisy down. She was 14 1/2 years old and had suffered a stroke that had paralyzed her larynx. Surgery was an option but they were hesitant about operating on such an old dog.

Looking through our remaining family photos (We lost a lot in the flooding that happened in our state a year ago April) we found the ones from when she had a litter of pups. This is going to be a picture heavy thread! I do not have a scanner so I took pictures of the pictures with my phone. Sorry about the less than perfect quality.

Her mate was a yellow lab.


First - here is the birthing box we had built for her in what used to be our dining room.

Escaping the puppy box now...mama Daisy gets no relief!

Being weaned - Daisy had to wear clothes to give her a rest from their growing teeth!

Feeding time! We had to use cookie sheets due to the amount of mouths we were feeding!

Thank you for remembering Daisy with me - She was an amazing dog.
Sweetest temperament, a wonderful mama to her pups and a great friend to me since I was 10 years old.

aaw shucks...what a great old Dame Daisy was. Dogs are the best people. Nothing cooler than a house full of puppies.

May she be remembered long past her days :)
 
Yes, I agree with Molch. Dogs are wonderful, although a few humans are dog-like in their loyalness.
 
Thank you guys - She was a treasure in our family

    Dear All, I would appreciate some help identifying P. waltl disease and treatment. We received newts from Europe early November and a few maybe 3/70 had what it looked like lesions under the legs- at that time we thought maybe it was the stress of travel- now we think they probably had "red leg syndrome" (see picture). However a few weeks later other newts started to develop skin lesions (picture enclosed). The sender recommended to use sulfamerazine and we have treated them 2x and we are not sure they are all recovering. Does anyone have any experience with P. waltl diseases and could give some input on this? Any input would be greatly appreciated! Thank you.
