Dear Michelle,
It's wonderful to hear that Buddy did so well yesterday and was obviously feeling fine when she returned home!
I'm so sorry to hear about Gemma; it's just heartbreaking. Do you know about the K9-carts that can be used for animals who've lost use of their back legs? I don't know if it would be appropriate for Gemma, but I'd be happy to look up the information for you if you thought it would be an option to help her and help her stay with you longer. Take care.
Love, Julie

Buddy had her dental yesterday - she cried all the way there and made me feel so guilty. She had a scrape and polish and no extraction necessary. Got her tested for FeLV too whilst she was asleep. She was excited to get back home and was scaling curtains within a couple of hours bless her.
On a sadder note I have to put to sleep my one of my girls (Gemma) on Thursday. She is a 12 year old German Shepard crossbreed bitch who has had arthritis in her front and back legs for a few years and had a CVA just before the death of my Tidge in March this year. We got her through it with the vet but her legs have been getting weaker as of late and have basically given up this week. Had her from 8 weeks old - so heartbreaking but she is now getting depressed and can't get to the toilet without us holding her back end up in a sling (bath towel). Got to let her join her brother and Bramble and Tidge at the Bridge.
