Ruth, I am so very sorry to hear about the Cushings. My boxer was diagnoses two years ago, the treatment I could get for him would improve his quality of life but it wasn't a cure. He would have had to stay on the medication for the rest of his life and continue with lab work every 4-6 weeks to monitor his reaction to the meds. It was very difficult for me because the cost of the medication plus the blood work made it cost prohibitive to move forward with the treatment. The only comforting things was that he was a good old boy so his life wasn’t cut significantly short by the disease but the quality certainly wasn’t what it would have been without it. Hopefully this won’t be the case for you. Please keep us posted on how Hershey does.

damn, ur a busy woman nessa.. love the photobucket pics, especially that shirt that says "i don't need a life, i have the internet". i want that shirt cause that says it all with me, LOL

Wow Ladynessa, I did as you suggested and like, every webpage that came up had your name on it! And I could tell it was indeed you because one of the pages mentioned the SBD. Luckily- although Melanie is my real name- the people I speak of don't know I use "fat melanie" as a username, my email and such is different. Hopefully they never will find out...

Still, it does bring to my attention how easily they could find anything that I write. Hopefully none of it could be used against me... I could always deny that it's me but... heh. That would be hard to do. "Melanie in NC" and all.

Ooh you go girl, a younger man! That's awesome. (yes I was curious and checked out a page!) :D

mel - your MIL might not have much interest....but I'll bet her lawyer has a pretty vested interest.....just be careful....

:lol: @ constitutional rights as parents. Is there really such a thing anymore? :(
