*Sigh*
I can only assume Tigger was ruffhousing with Freya the other day because when I came home from work she was hopping on two legs instead of three. Tigger is missing her right front leg, and now it's her right rear leg that's injured. I called the vet, they suggested rest since it was evident nothing was broken, but short of duct tape I can't keep her settled down. She likes to bounce!!! She'll rest at night and wake up raring to go and then start limping again. We've cut out the walk sessions, doped her up with Pet Ease, melatonin, and a Benadryl, but as soon as it wears off she'll start ruffhousing with Freya again. Geesh!!
Tigger's running out of legs!
Poor Tigger. Hope she recovers quickly.
Shanna & Spirit Trouble ~ Trouble gained her wings 3/16/2011, a 27 1/2 month cancer survivor, tail wagging. RIP sweetheart, you are my heart and soul. Run free at Rainbow Bridge.

Tigger certainly is living up to her name. Good luck keeping her calm. I knew duct tape was good for everything but maybe you better hold off on that . LOL! I hope she feels better soon,

Good luck keeping Tigger contained and calm. Does that stuff work? I think Wyatt could sure use some.
PS: Pet-Ease refills

are available at Only Natural Pet!
Funny you should mention Pet-Ease. She seems immune to all calming medicinals. 🙁 She's slowly getting better though. She's one stubborn lil girl.
Took me a while to find my thread again. There's not a "Search For New Posts" tab tham I'm missing is there?

Oh my gosh...I couldn't help but giggle when reading your post. Tigger is running out of legs indeed! I too have a very difficult time keeping my girl down. Everytime they say that I just sigh inside.
I hope there's enough Pet Ease in the world to get through this little escapade of Tigger's!

Not exactly sure what you mean by a "Search for new Posts tab" so, no. 
But here are a few tips:
- The five Most Recent Topics With Unread Posts will always appear at the top of the page above all Groups on the main Forum page. This is user-specific and will show posts you have not yet read.
- The Last Post column in any Forum view will include links directly to mosrt recent Post in each Topic.
- Use the drop-down enu at the bottom of every forum page to jump directly to the latest 15 New/Recenlty Updated Topics. Again, user-specific – topics you have not read will be highlighted.
- Click the Watch button for any topic you are interested in and it will always be available via your Watched Topics in your Forum profile.
- Use the Subscribe button to receive emails every time that topic is updated.
- The Topic RSS button is for subscribing via RSS, for your preferred news reader.
Hope this helps. I'll add these tips to the Tech Support Forum. If you have further related questions, please ask them there. Thansk!

Thanks Jerry, that'll probably help some. I frequent The Squirrel Board forums as well, and when I log in there's a handy little button that "Shows New Posts" since my last visit and it helps some. I'll just try to adapt.
Tigger is better. This morning Dakota is limping. I blame Freya again. She so large and seems to have no concept of how much "her" there is to throw around. When Kodiak was still alive she almost broke him in half by barreling into him when he was standing next to a post. Poor ole guy.
Maybe I should duct tape Freya to the floor... and the Pet Ease does work on her. 🙂
