Hello

[Gypsy]

Hi Everyone. It's been so long since I've been back here I felt like I'd better introduce myself again! ;D There are probably new members, so I thought it would be a good idea.

I'm Gypsy and I have three chihuahuas, Cosette, Deedlit, and Isabeau as well as a big dog, a great dane, Ripley, and two cats, Punkin and Voldemort.

It's been soo long since I posted here, my life has been pretty crazy, but I am definitely going to try to stick around now because I have missed it, and missed everyone here.

Welcome Back!!!! and I think your dogs are adorable

[Tricia]

I'm so glad you're back!!! Don't leave for that long again ;D

Gypsy hi! Welcome back!

How is everyone doing?

[Gypsy]

Thank you! I've missed everyone!

Everyone here is good. We've just been busy. Trey is in school and to save money while he's in school we've temporarily moved back with my mom. Her house is crazy enough. My sister is going to have a so Atticus is going to have a cousin and I get to be an aunt. I planned and threw her shower which was very time consuming but definitely worth it. Atticus is 20 months old now! And he keeps me on my toes nonstop, he can get into everything, climb anything, and wants to do everything we do. He's a handful but so much fun, he always has me laughing.

The girls are good. I'm not sure they're that crazy about staying here, Izzy likes playing with all my mom's chihuahuas but Deedlit mostly wants to be left alone and I think misses the luxury of having an entire house to herself covered with beds and toys and things to make her comfortable. ;D Cosette is really enjoying agility, she is so excited about it every week we go, as soon as we pull up to the place she starts standing up on her hind legs and whining. . Izzy wasn't feeling too well a few weeks back and started loosing a little hair again, so we've increased her fluids again and she's feeling good now, playing and starting to grow back. I don't know if she'll ever have a normal long coat again with the kidney stuff but I don't care as long as she's healthy and feeling well. I have to take her in again in the next month or two for bloodwork recheck, hopefully it is still good! Cosette had a dental a few months ago and had to have several teeth pulled because they were bad, but it hasn't affected her at all.

Haha, long update, but yeah, basically we're all doing well, a little cramped and a little stressed for time, but good.

Gypsy have you ever tried Petzlife gel for their teeth? Tricia was the one who told me about it. I used to brush my guys teeth but wasn't really ever able to get their teeth totally clean, especially the back teeth.

Petzlife gel is so simple to use and you can even use it on cats. They sell it at Petsmart, maybe other places as well.

Here's a link to the thread where we talked about it,

And here's a link to the gel,

Thank you Jayne.

I hadn't heard of the Petzlife but it looks really good. I will have to give it a try because Cosette is already starting to get a little tartar again. It's weird because Deedlit is 7 and has never had a dental or teeth brushed and hers are perfect and white. Cosette's were really bad, and Izzy's are in between a little tartar built up but not too bad. I am going to have to try it if you have had such great results with it!

I believe Joebert uses a gel that he got from his vet so maybe gel is the new toothbrush.

It should last you a long time because you don't use that much for each dog since they're tiny.

I just wish they had it when I had Oreo. He had to have extensive dental work
