Are those Langstroth deeps I see off to the side in the one picture? You gonna do bees this coming spring? The whole wound area looks much better now. Of course a lot of that is due it having been cleaned up. What a sweetie, falling asleep in her food bowl... Awwwww just screams for a hug and kiss. :love

It is really tough dealing with such a difficult situation, with such a wound.....it does seem sometimes that they can be their own worst enemy in reopening the wound....sure do hope that she will heal enough before the next time and the trauma can come to an end really soon for you and her. Here is one for you....:hugs and another for strength...:hugs....and yet another for Kimber....:hugs

I don't actually know what those are! Which picture are you referring to?
But yes, the wound area does look better. The cleaning helped but taking out some of the tubes and stitches, and adding more/different ones helped.

@CntryBoy777, it is frustrating when you see them messing up their own healing injuries. I do wish they could realize that doing so is NOT helping!

On another note... Smith has been missing since a day or two after Kimber's injuries.... He was the only healthy LGD we had left, even if we always called him our useless LGD.... We have been trying to find him, or at least find out what happened to him. We have had no luck whatsoever. Smith rarely even left the front yard for crying out loud.... I remember when Wesson got sick, this is one of the reasons we were so concerned.

That sure doesn't sound good at all and I can understand the angst that causes.....:hugs I'd much rather know an outcome, than to just sit and wonder about what may have happened. I really hope he shows up and is okay....ya truly have been put thru the wringer already.....:fl

Not know what has happened to your dog is something that will haunt you. I had an Aussie disappear 32 years ago and I still wonder what happened to her. I chased down pick up trucks with blue merle Aussies in the back probably for 4 or 5 years. I am so sorry Smith is missing.

So sorry Smith is MIA. My dogs seldom get out but when they do I always wished I had a GPS collar on them. Hope that you get some answers, if nothing else.

Wow, seems like you're getting one hit after another. Sorry Smith has gone missing and sure hope you can find out a status on him. Any chance he might have been involved with Kimber and what attacked her, and didn't make it? On the bee keeping, I was commenting on what looked like Langstroth hive deeps off to the right side of the pic.

They look just like stackable bee boxes.

@Latestarter, OH! Those are games, like risk and monopoly in wooden boxes. :D:D:D Not that we haven't wanted bee's. They are just not something we are willing to start yet. And probably not for at least another 4 or 5 years.
