a bit ouchy

Post by Dutchringgirl »

I think Sadie is a bit ouchy today, ( she has HD) After making my breakfast I came into my office to check on the goings on for the day and to see whats up here. When I went back into the kitchen, the butter was still on the counter. That struck me as odd. ( If I leave the butter out it will be gone.) Sadie was on her bed giving me her brown eyed look. Its rainy and cold here and I think its bothering her.

Lisa, so do you notice that her symptoms are more exacerbated when the weather changes as you said? As in when folks have arthritis and it hurts. I have been so fortunate not to have any with HD and was wondering.

Tell us about yourself: I adopted a Dutch Shepherd mix (without knowing what she was) from the SPCA here in Victoria BC and am now trying to learn everything I can about this breed. My husband and I work from home most of the time so I thought it was time to get a puppy! We have his 2 boys here half the time and we wanted a nice family dog.

Sugar looks like a miniature Dutch Shepherd with floppy ears, and has every ounce of DS traits in her little body!

I hope to learn from other DS owners and share doggy experiences.

Thanks guys.

I would bet that the damp wet days would bother her like they do people. Sometimes its hard to tell with her. Her norm has been, crazy excited in the morning, play then she is quite most of the day. I do take her out for hikes on nice days or she will have a spurt of energy after lunch. This was the first time I left the butter out on a damp rainy day so it was an extra oddity. It would be a good day to feed sadie some soup instad of eat Sadie Soup. :lol: :lol:

Tell us about yourself: I am in New York State. Got my first DS about 14 years ago (more or less as a rescue- lost her in Nov.). After years of GSD's, and a few dogs of other breeds (Rotti/Beauceron/Ger. Shorthaired Pointer/ Yorkie and my current Jack Russell) I now have another DS, 4mo female, no name yet, tho I have a few in mind.
Also have a horse-old quarter horse mare-32.
Can't wait for all the snow to get gone! Spring is coming too slow this year!

Good to hear she is feeling better. It's tough to watch them being in pain.
