One less

About three months ago we had to put our oldest dog, a Black and Tan Coonhound mix too sleep because she had cancer. This was a hard thing to do, but she really had no chance, even though they wanted us to spend all this money on treatment. Now we are left with two. More recently, a few weeks after we put her to sleep, our male dog got in a fight with our female dog and my wife tried to break it up and she got bit. Had to go to the hospital and they did surgery to flush the bone where it had been "dented". The were worried about a bone infection. We bought some dog boots which are very useful in certain conditions and long walks, but not used much. We also got dog coats and these are very worthwhile. They work well to keep the rain off and the dogs stay warmer, they even wear them inside, which keeps down the amount of hair everywhere. We recently had both of them fixed and the male's dewclaws removed, unfortunately the stitches didn't hold very well so hopefully they don't get infected. Here is a pic of our two dogs in their coats at my in-laws house where they used them to keep warm in all the snow.
