Yes, that,s absolutely the one. And....as fate would have it----I also left a phone message asking them to contact you! I also was going to write you and see if it would be okay for me to give a recommendation n your site---under whatever banner you suggested. Really, to have a dog bed go through the rigors Happy Hannah and I have put it through this past month and tother is absolutely no bunching, no sagging, no sign of giving way whatsoever and IG comes with a wonderful guarantee. They sent a follow up through email which is more than I got from the surgeon!!! It is an "investment" but I've spent that many times over trying to get a good bed for my dogs and they don't retain their shape or support AND this bed is made pretty much for bigger dogs.

Thanks for always looking for ways to help our families.

Thanks Sally.

 

I will take a look online at Amazon. I did track down some 3" medium density foam yesterday which I am going to cut to size and find a cover. I too plan to be sleeping in the same room, and possibly floor with Tahoe tonight.

 

Just got word from the surgeon Tahoe is doing excellent this AM, now able to get up from a lying-down position onto all 3 by himself. He is eating well (typical Golden...) and generally pretty good spirits.  He was having some problems with urinating so they have experimented taking him off fentanyl which they thought was creating the problem. Pain mgt seems to be going well. I spent about 30 minutes with him yesterday and when he was wheeled in to see me, not too happy (like, I'm mad at you dad). He did warm up once his tennis ball was brought out and he could have that in his mouth. He took the ball back with him into the ICU.

 

I trust you and Hannah are doing well and the chemo is not too hard.

Diagnosed with Periarticular Hystiocystic Sarcoma Feb 14-13; Amputation March 18-13, and diagnosed with STS April-14. Tahoe touched so many people while visiting us, leaving a massive void in our lives. Always Missed, Never Forgotten!!

Stirling and Tahoe...Soooooooglad to hear from you! I can just visualize Taho taking that tennis ball------drugged up, major srgery----but keep I g his eye on the ball!!!

No, Tahoe,s not angry with you, maybe drugged up but of angry. He will associate you with nothing but the pure love you have given every second he has been in your life.

Some urinate and poop a little sooner and some take awhile longer. Can't wait for you to get him home-----it' be great therapy for you both. We're all here for you to support you through any concerns, hurdles and to celebrate the joy as he progresses towards a great recovery.

Keeping you in our thoughts, Sally and Happy Hannah
