Dogs Steal Yarn

I'll keep little Diego in my thoughts- hope all goes well. Poor little guy :-(

how nerve wracking. we've been where you are too many times, and i will be keeping you in my thoughts tomorrow.

I know this has got to be nerve racking. I will have all of you in my thoughts and prayers. My little dachshund got sick several months ago, they put him to sleep to clean his teeth (I had no idea about his teeth)it was $150.00! I brush his teeth every day now.

Good luck Diego! I'll be keeping you and your pet human in my thoughts! Don't enjoy those drugs too much, buddy, they're bad for you long term!

Oh god, poor Diego! Wishing good thoughts for him for sure. This makes me especially nervous since the vet told me Ty has some tartar and I don't want to have to have him put under for a cleaning either. But I guess the consequences of not doing it is so much worse.

good luck, sweet diego.

Good luck, Diego! We need to take Deedle in to get her teeth cleaned, and just thinking about it makes me nervous. I have heard that sighthounds are very sensitive to anesthesia, so the vet has to make sure to use the right type (whatever that means); otherwise, they can get very ill. I'll be thinking healthy hound thoughts!

Healthy thoughts are being sent from Boston! It's so hard to have a sick dog. They just go and go until they drop. No complaining, no warning sometimes, just solid and then sick. He'll do great tomorrow I'm sure and be running around after a ball in no time!

Oh, poor Diego! I hope he feels better! Our old miniature-dachshund had only two teeth left by the time we lost her at 15, she had such problems with periodontal disease. Hmm . . . I think I'll brush Chappy's teeth tonight.

Oh baby boy, we'll keep toes and fingers crossed that all goes well and the anaesthesiologist is very good and very attentive and the surgery is very very very fast.

When Tahoe was little we had a similar tooth situation (baby tooth v. adult tooth, formed abcess, both lost) and I remember that horrible gut-twisting fear like it was yesterday. I hate it when they're sick, I hate it when they have to be under, I hate that there's nothing to do but wait and watch and hope. Ugh. It wouldn't be so bad if we didn't love them so much but it's a damn sight too late now.

I will be sending Diego good thoughts - I know it's especially difficult when our companion pets are sick. It isn't something we can explain to them.

Ohhhh, poor little darling Diego. All good wishes for a successful surgery and comfortable recovery. The drool spot makes my heart hurt. I'm glad he's not in pain, but that really, really sucks, and I hope all goes well. Be brave, little family...

Poor Diego! He'll pull through!

Oh, dear Diego, feel better....and this post is making me realize the importance (though I hate the thought of the expense as well as the trauma of the anesthesia) of getting Vincent's teeth cleaned again soon. I've put it off as long as I can, but he did have one rotten one pulled last year when he went in for his regular dental. Oy vey. It's always something.

Candles lit for that little doggie. Tiki and I both send our good wishes.

Poor little chicken. My very best wishes for a full recovery.

Its very sad when your pet gets better drugs than you.

Luca sends Diego many snuffly dog kisses and crosses his paws for good luck!

You are right to suspect the rotted tooth as a cause for his other problems. Getting that sucker out of there will probably help him feel better in a lot of ways.

Poor puppy! I'll send good vibes his way! He'll be fine!!!

I'm sending Diego (and you) all good thoughts. good luck tomorrow!

Goodness, poor Diego. I hope everything works out well, and that he returns to his typical self. Pets are important people; I'll be thinking strong thoughts for all of you.

awww sweeties, we'll sit and howl at the moon for you all tonight, and I'll even get the cats to cross their paws for you all. Hope it all goes well, and hope you guys are doing well too.

Poor little guy! Man, this is just not his year so far. I will direct positive energy in a north-north westerly direction this week.

Maybe it's the drugs he's on - or maybe it's the drugs I'm on - but Diego looks a *lot* like Keanu Reeves in that picture.

Awwww....can't the universe give Diego (and you) a break already? Fred and his stinky teeth had to go in recently, and while cleaning they, of course, found a rotten one that had to go. Fred isn't the friendliest, but Cat has his paws crossed, literally.

Poor Diego! My Riley sends good puppy wishes, and so do I.

Thoughts from my end going to Diego. Poor thing.

Oh, no! I'll be thinking good wishes for the sweet little dental patient. I hate getting dental work done, feel so sorry for pets who don't really understand. Let us know when all's well. Jane

smooches to you diego. you best get better mighty quick as i'm coming to see you very soon.

My prayers are with you and Diego today. I hope that everything turns out ok with his dental sugery. Surgery is always nerve wracking when there is an underlying problem.

Good luck, Diego! Dental work sucks out loud.

sending good thoughts your way from one mom "rescued" by a sweet pup to another! Please know we are thinking of you.

He'll be fine -- they know what they're doing. And just think how happy he'll be once he's rid of his seriously rotten tooth! Big kisses from me, and good thoughts aplenty. xo

Poor little guy - good luck with the dentist.

Oh, poor boy. Big kisses to him; I know everything will be fine.

Poor guy!! And poor you too...it is so very stressful when our pooches are ill.

Big reminder to those out there whose dogs have dirty but still healthy teeth- chewing is so very important! No all canned/soft diets unless perscribed! Lots of raw bones or dental chew!

Some dogs are simply predisposed, like some people, to have dental problems, but that is one thing we can do to slow these processes.

Good luck Diego!

Poor little Diego! I'll keep him in my thoughts! I'm sure everything will go well for the little fellow!

thinking good thoughts and hoping all goes smoothly

Sending good thoughts for Diego schmoo. I hope things went well.

love love love, sent your way.

I'm keeping my fingers crossed and thinking good thoughts (and I said a prayer for everything to go well). Surgery is scary (my dog just had his teeth cleaned last Monday), but I'm sure everything will be fine. Keep us posted.

Here's to Diego's swift and sure recovery.

Sending lots of love and good thoughts to Diego (and his Mommy.)

Thinkin' the good thoughts, Cari, thinking the good thoughts!

When I saw the name of your blog I had to check it out. So sorry about Diego! Bodhi and Loki (my pups) are saying a prayer for him!

Guppy's and my thoughts are with Diego!!! Hope he gets better soon!

Poor little guy! Sending good thoughts from me and Sasha who is quite taken with the pups.

Adding Diego to my meditations. I've gone through several major surgeries with my dogs - all rescued strays - and determined it's my karma to save dogs with problems. Still, I cry each time I drop them off. It's hard when you can't explain 'why' to them.

Zev, Grover and Kaje send their bestest doggy thoughts...

We love-ed the little greyhounds. Had two full sized and while genetically different, the girls had the same tooth issues. Poor fellow, he's just a mess lately! I'll be thinking of you all.

Diego's a strong little guy. He'll be aiiight. Sending him a big doggy squeeze, and a big sloppy kiss. (and send me the left over morphine....) Please?

Many, many good thoughts going out to the beautiful Diego. He's lucky to have an owner who cares so much for him.

Poor little guy. I hope he feels better soon. Well, I mean, I hope he gets better soon. Looks like he feels damn fine.

Feel better Diego! I hope you are home and resting happily now.

Oooh poor baby!!!!
I think good thoughts for the little dude and hope that all goes well with his surgery!
We love you Diego!!!!

ooh poor Diego Healthy thoughts coming over the water from me an Ben ( my pooch) :-)

Poor guy. Tooth problems are so common with the little doggies. Our iggy sends big doggy kisses. He had a leg break a few years ago, so we're all too familiar with his alter-ego, Morphine Bob.

Oh my goodness! Lots of love from our corner, including from the cats!

I hope everything goes well with Diego. He is such a cute little guy.

Oh no! Kringle-dog and I are sending best wishes for Diego. She has to go in and get her teeth scaled now that a round of antibiotics have cleared up her horrid gums, but she is pretending she doesn't hear me typing that. CJ-dog (the in-laws') just got out of hospital today after an emergency visit, so she sends best wishes too!

I'm so sorry that Diego had to go back to the emergency room. My kitties and I send him good thoughts.

Is the little guy all right??? Did the ER vet know that sighthounds don't have a fat layer and so don't deal well with sedatives? (I surely hope the vet doing the dental work knows about the problems with sighthound anesthaesia!) I am keeping you in my thoughts... Fiona Whippet sends love. Take care. Hoping all is well... HUGS.

Oh no! Poor little guy! I hope everything goes well and he remembers his "summer of love" with fondness (you did play alittle Grateful Dead when he was sooooo stoned out on the couch, no?).

Poor little Diego. I hope he is back to his best, healthy self after this. :)

All possible fingers and toes will be crossed for you and Diego!

I hope everything went ok! Sending get well vibes Diego's way.

I hope Diego is recovering nicely. Regina set me here for comfort- my two dachshunds had a dental "cleaning" yesterday that turned into a 10 hour saga of extractions (2 in one- 1 in the other) blood work freakouts, etc. They're home now on antibiotics and painkillers and looking fat faced and worse for the wear. I can't help but be jealous of Laura's $150. and her dachshund. Our vet charged us: Annie- $1315 for the two extractions and cleaning- they break it down to every little charge and $602.for Betty's single extraction and cleaning. They did other things as well and I am now $2855.20 lighter in the wallet. I want to live where Laura does!
