Problem is letting them out … we really don’t know our new neighbors and on top of it, one of the pitties we have will fight with our female husky if not VERY closely supervised (hubby and I have learned what the warning signs are for an imminent fight and can stop it, but to try to explain to someone else what to *possibly* interpret as *possibly* becoming an issue …. well, not so much). Maybe once we get to know the neighbors, and then maybe hubby will be comfortable letting them in the house, but we’ll have to wait and see on that account.

I am unable to do 4 small meals a day for any of the dogs … we both work more than 45 miles from home and have to cross the Bay Bridge here in Maryland (commutes can be bad). All my dogs are crate trained and don’t have accidents as a general rule of thumb (unless they don’t finish doing their business before we have to leave for work or if we’re stuck at work or in traffic longer than expected).

We do make sure they have plenty of drinking water – and its even twice filtered since it’s well water and all 4 dogs are used to city water AND they use the drinkwell pet fountain – and they drink and are let out more times than I can even count.

The vet said they did send the bladder stones out for analysis, and I certainly intend on discussing the results with them, especially knowing that there are different kinds and each kind is caused by different issues.

(and yup – refreshed the screen about 10 times and finally gave up! *lol*)
