Hey Juno… I was just perusing your archives and am shocked to learn you are a fellow orthodog! I guess you HD did not require surgery (this post was way back before I knew you but don’t think I have seen it mentioned) which is awesome. I am most interested about this groin pull as this is what Moose has done too himself. I saw your treadmill action… did you do that a lot? The sit stand (pushups) for butt muscles I guess was mostly to stabilize your hips better but I wonder if Moose should be doing them. I did not get a lot of clear instructions from our ortho other than rest and was not even clear how strict that needed to be. But you were put on rest and it was still ok to do push-ups? Maybe I will try that with Moose. He has no hip troubles luckily but I suspect that leg is weaker from the knee surgery and that is what led to the pull. Anyways, lots of rambling but I am wondering how long you had to rest and when you got ‘all’ better?

The contest should be fun!

Steve is getting his x-rays on Friday. The vet’s personal dog has hip dysplasia so she is very sympathetic to Steve’s cause. She mentioned that Siberians tend to be drama queens, but in our family, it’s usually Kat being the drama queen, not Steve.

We sure hope that Juno is able to get much better over the course of her treatment. As for the shoes, there was a toy in the mix, so maybe she just got confused.

Poor Juno! No zoomies for six weeks? I hope the rest helps her!

Hmmm…are you coming to Hawaii to visit us?

Hmmm.. Juno you put a beer in with that shoe party and you got yourself a visitor. You know, Juno knew along what exercises to do.. the mind tricks. It finally took you humans to figure it out. That is pretty cool way to retrain the muscles and her gait by walking on cushions. I wonder if you’ll have a new den.. one tiled in cushions. That would be fun… wait wouldn’t that be a padded room? huh? I heard about those places.

Haha! Good work on the shoes!

And thanks for the update on Juno. Sounds like maybe she was too young and physically immature for some of the sledding prior to her adoption by you? We’ll keep our paws crossed for her continued strength and recovery.

Yikes, more problems. Poor Juno. Well, this six weeks of rest ought to test her true Siberian nature. Hope you have some good tricks up your sleeve for this one.

For the contest, is there a plan underway to build a new and improved bridge?

Juno now that no zoomie, no wrestling stuff doesn’t sound like a good time at all.. You have to do it though so that you get all better.. When Callie had to be calm we had to give her doggie downers… She is a bit hyper!!!

Rimadyl! I (heart) Rimadyl…I’ve witnessed my cat-bro, Max, and my canine-sis, Linguini thrive on that stuff. Mom also gives Linguini a special joint supplement that has worked miracles. If you’re interested, I’ll find out exactly what it’s called from my mother. Linguini and Max are both back 100% and Linguini celebrates by jumping out of our yard and roaming the streets.

Poor Juno! Glad she’s been diagnosed so she can be treated and made more comfortable. Six weeks of no zoomies, yikes!

We are crossing everything we have over hear that Juno will not be in pain. My mom Emily had arthfritis and I know Rimadyl helped her quite a bit. And that water dogrobics sounds like fun!

And this contest is so kool!

My guess was what Guinnes said, so I will take another one:

You guys are moving???

My Beautiful Raja suffered from the muscle atrophy too due to her hip displace ya. We know what you are going through. Hard to keep a gal like her quiet. I suggest treating her to more shoes. Come on, poor thing, can’t run and play. Maybe some from that VET who seems to love her so much. Donations!

I am preparing my large and deep thinking brain for your contest.

Eva trying to give away monkey sound boy, huh? Good luck with that.

But sinister we can handle and sinister we will do. We are, after all, Siberians.

Which leads us to young Juno. First the reverse poodle cut and than the well behaved Siberian routine? We clearly will need to conduct a pupnap and some reverse brainwashing so that you have a full Siberian on your hands when . . . oops, back to sinister.

Hmmmm……. what could it be? Did you make plans to come pupnap The Boy? No? Are you sure? He comes with pillows and a blankie. I can have him packed and on the curb in seconds!!!!!

Poor Juno. The bad news just keeps rolling in, but at least it’s all manageable. Did the doc say how likely it is to have another occurrence if this does end up being autoimmune? Could she go the rest of her life without another episode?

I’m glad Juno has you guys. A lot of people wouldn’t go to the trouble or expense that you have. At least the butt workout and cushion walking is time you can spend together. Please do try to get picture, but we understand if you can’t.

Hmm, a guessing contest with no clues so far. My guess is more construction. Either to the dog fort, the house or the bridge, maybe. I’ll guess again when we get the first clue.

Leather shoes, huh? I have always been partial to slippers, myself… And Juno – this massage thing doesn’t sound like too bad a deal, I mean, I’m sorry that you have to give up zoomies and stuff, but the massage part sounds pretty good.

In the meantime, I think the breaking news is that space aliens have taken over Washington, D.C., and Juno and Loki are planning a super-secret attack to retake the country from the aliens. Or something like that.

Ah yes, leather shoes are wonderful, but even non-leather shoes are pretty good too. Yummy for my tummy.

Oooh, a guessing contest! This sounds fantastic!

I hope you have a GRRRReat weekend my friend,
