Odin Leaped on The Bed!

Post by LyonsFamily »

and he's causing mischief all over the house, hiding our favorite things, rolling in the snow, sneaking out to the apple tree, and engaging Elli in play.

Those might seem like normal DS things, but for the last few months he hasn't been feeling up to much, especially not playing with Elli. He attempts to get on the bed occasionally, but he's had to drag his rear feet up and he crawled on. I thought this was going to be a long winter. This morning I found him in bed with us and when my husband left for an interview and I was home alone Odin turned the bed into his own trampoline.

In other good news, my husband got the new job. We're going to see a new spine specialist recommended by a few local ringsport people as soon as he gets his first paycheck. I've gotten a lot of recommendations for Adequan injections and this new doctor seems hopeful for alternative treatments.

Tell us about yourself: DS and Mal foster newly approved aug'12 by NADSR and ABMCR. high-functioning Autistic in nyc/hamptons in my 60's. Rescued the smartest dog i had ever seen off nyc street in 2000. Tracedog's intelligence exceeded by multiples my judgement that day. My first [and only as of 10/2012] dog turned out to be a DS, perhaps with a touch of something else, but attention to detail, behavioral traits, and physical habits, movement, and skill identical to DS. But MUCH more intellectual ability. supremely confident in all settings, fearless, very outgoing and social with people and friendly with dogs. Seldom apart in over 12 years, Trace Dog was the most important relationship of my adult life; he was my partner. He died july17,2012. i am dying without him. www.youtube.com/tracesobaka www.dogster.com/dogs/637612

Thanks for the support guys! I came home today to find that Odin locked Elli in the bedroom in the dark, so he's definitely up to his prankster self.

Tell us about yourself: Artist, Mother, Equestrienne, Educator, Homesteader wannabe, dog-lover. Not counting my current DS, I have had 2 GSDs and 3 rescued mixed-breeds. All of these dogs were rescues, except for my childhood GSD, who was a gift from my parents when I was 7, and my current DS who I bartered artwork for from the breeder. Maiyou, one of my current dogs, is a Pitbull/New Guinea Singing Dog of 13 years old. Still very active and "Young" in nature. I now also have a DS named Mokume, (pronounced "Moh-koo-meh") or "Moko" for short. Newest member of our pack is Freyja, a random mixed hound I rescued during a horseback trip in the middle of a state forest.

Tell us about yourself: My name is Ben. I've been a dog lover for my entire life. I currently own a GSD (Hopper) and a Boxer (Phoebe). They are my kids and best friends.

As far as DS's go, I've never owned one and this is the reason I'm here. I'm looking to learn more about the breed since I'm thinking of adding one to my family.

Glad to hear Odin's doin better. It's always sad to watch them struggle to get something they want when it's just out of their reach and then uplifting whenever they get it.
