Niki Update....

I have received a few e-mails inquiring how Nik Nak is doing....
she is well, Thank You so for asking about her. Puppy Rocky has to be brought in the next few weeks to be neutered (1 year old in a few weeks). Niki will be going for the ride for she needs her rabies shot and her urine checked. Because of where her injury occured on her spine, I must help empty her bladder through out the day to prevent pooling which causes bacteria to form and therefore can cause an infection. Although I am very good about this and we have prevented infections from occuring, best to get the urine checked to stay on top of it.

Due to the warmer weather arriving I have been thinking about getting a small pool....it must have a filtering system, etc....along with a solar cover to help keep the water warm. I doubt they make these covers for that small a pool...maybe I could trim excess off a larger sized one??
This weekend I will head out and about to see what is available. I am thinking of doing her therapy work here at home until fall arrives. I will have to of course take her to a therapist that specializes in this type of work so I can be taught just what exercises will help her best. This type of water therapy is differant then the water treadmill therapy.
There is a small...almost looks plastic one being sold....wanting to go see what is available, if anyone knows anything about pools feel free in contacting me with any info you might have.
Bad weather on it's way here in the Atlanta area....stay safe!
