    It is so strange...especially considering her age! My vet said it is rare that he ever sees that in puppies so young. But be that as it may, we will obviously do everything we can for her! Doesn't make us love her any less...she is our little sweet puppy!

    OH Bridget....so sorry!!! My parent's first Rottweiler had it at a young age too, I think she was diagnosed before age 1. After two hip surgeries, she was good to go and lived a nice long happy life. I know Gemma will do that same :kissing_heart:

    We are having a heat wave in PA too. Friday-Monday topped off around 95. Saturday we went for a hike...nothing too crazy, only 3 miles, it was HOT!!! We were supposed to go kayaking but decided to postpone it because we didn't want to fry on the water....it can be dangerous stuff!!!

    Saturday-1 flight and 1 beer at lunch, 2 margaritas and 1 vodka cocktail back at the house. 5 ain't bad for a Saturday.
    Sunday-7 beers
    Monday-??? I'm up for one and if Len has something, so will I!!!

    Just heard back from the vet & the K-State surgeon basically said the same thing my vet did, either manage with pain meds or surgery. However, my vet recommends we do surgery sooner rather than later, especially considering that it is so bad and she is at such a young age. So, he is going to find out the cost of the surgery & if they have a payment plan....otherwise, my hubby & I are seriously considering setting up a GoFundMe account!

    Anyway...my plan of a 0 tonight is gone. I will be having some beers.

    Just found this group last night and had to invite my partner in crime, the pickled ginger. You are our people! Lol

    We drank two bottles of wine on Sunday for sushi night. None last night, but going to likely have a bottle tonight. Had a glass and a half before supper and going to have the rest as I watch netflix.

    I made it to the gym again to get my Summer Sizzle card punched. I actually ran for almost half of it!

    Welcome elenagking!

    I had a bottle of wine last night. Much needed after a long day with doctors. I feel ok this morning. The son has decided he needs to workout this summer so our goal is to hit the gym together 3 times/week at least. We went on Monday...going again today. It helps to have a buddy to motivate me.

    I was going to take tonight off, but then we took my dad to the er and he was eventually life flighted to the regional hospital and is now in the icu.

    I have had one of my parents in the hospital or nursing home for all but 3 months in the past fifteen. We justhad 2 months when they were both at home, happy, independent, and doing well.

    I was going to take tonight off. His birthday was yesterday. I had four glasses of wine and stopped, trying to take NAC and drink a glass of water in-between.

    I ate a beef stick, a snack size of for ixed nuts, and an order of mexi fries with cheese today. I'm drinking a lot of water tonight and hope to run tomorrow before I go back to the hospital. It helps.

    Hey lushes. I've been moderating, but drinking each night.

    Monday - 1 312
    Tuesday - 2 dirty martinis
    Wednesday - 2 glasses of wine in the afternoon (stopped drinking :smile: ) then had a beer around 6:00, a cocktail, and another beer at the neighbors'. We left their house around 10:40 which is pretty much a great success.

    Total is 8 for the week. I have 8 drinks left for the week. So tonight will be a 0. I can do it!

    caretaking for parents is rough elena...hang in there!
    had a decent day yesterday..2 glasses of wine and some exercise . Shooting for something similar today. Still hanging on to the 2 lbs I put on over the weekend. I usually manage to get it off by Friday...this weekend is quiet (yay!) so I'm hoping I can keep it off into next week and then some.
