Hi everyone!

[roisinbutler]

I have missed everybody!!! Its been really crazy lately, the short version is we are in the 6th week of heavy construction (for the new sewer and gas mains )infront of our house complete with window rattling blasting as it turns out there is WAY more ledge under the villiage than anticipated....so this means an ungodly din that starts at 630/7AM and goes until 4PM. The dust is horrific, the blasting shakes the house, Ozzy howls and none of us can hear ourselves think. So we have been away from home as much as possible.
Plus house projects are in full swing, though halted this week as I have strained the tendons in my shoulder/neck area and have been completely immobilized. It is SOOOOOOOO frustrating, but at least I can dress myself now

....Ozzy is none to thrilled with me!

Ozzy is doing so great, his legs are completely healed and stronger than ever, he is even doing STAIRS!!!!!!! Something I never thought I'd see. His wobblers does not seem to be advancing at all and he is holding his head high which is a great sign. Makes us soooooo happy. He went with us to NH for a short break at a friends lake house and he romped and played and swam and got a crush on a wheaton terrior called Millie who is the sweetest girl. He even jumped out of the water onto the jetty!!!!! (shallow end of course but really amazing to see) It was incredible. Plus their house is at the top of a hill which is terraced by stairs to the lake and he ran up and down them like a pup everyday. Amazing, no actually we feel it is miraculous. None of our friends can get over the difference in him, and he is full of energy and love for everyone.
So thats basically it, now I have to spend the next year getting caught up on whats been going on at newf net.......

Hi Roisin

Great to see you back! I told you people were askin' about you!
And I'm thrilled to hear ANOTHER great Ozzy report ... even better than the last one you sent via e-mail....

But I'm very sorry to hear that your construction nightmare isn't over yet and that now you've gone an hurt your neck. Guess that means you're not coming over to paint my garage, huh?
Take care of that neck! I'm gonna e-mail you if I get a chance later today too!

I'm sending good thoughts for a speedy recovery! Oh...how long do they expect this construction to last?? I don't know if I could handle all that noise.

Great to hear Ozzie is doing well after all you have been thru. Update about Koko Bear she was diagnosed with severe hip dysplasia and tears of both ACL's( we spoke via PM) we treated here with Doxcillian for 3 weeks and she is a different dog....stairs are no longer a problem and she has spring in her step.....looks like we won't at this time go thru ACL surgery.....thank you for your pm.....Beth

You go boy!!

PS. Sorry about the blasting though.

 

[Sound Bay Newfs]

That is amazing news about Ozzie! He sure deserves it after all he has been through!

 

[Lori_K]

Yay, Ozzie! Good to hear from you again Roisin.
I'm sure Ozz must be thinking-- "Oh great, I'm all better now and running up and down stairs, and MOM has to go and hurt herself!" Maybe you two will get it together one of these days.

No chance your NH friends will let you stay a little longer...say until all the chaos is done at your house?!
