Happy Birthday Sequoia!
posted on 09/14/2007
Today is Sequoia's 11th Birthday! In dog years (factoring her size) that is about 72 yrs old!! Recently we had to put her on a pain medication for her arthritis, and it has helped her immensely. Since our move to the new house, she only has 4 steps she has to deal with on a daily basis. Although, the hardwood floors have been a new obstacle for her. The moment I brought her to the new house, she started to slip and fall. We ended up getting some rugs and runners which has helped her get traction for the most part. It is still sad when she rounds a corner that doesn't have full coverage and she falls! Sometimes it's hard for her to get up on the wood floors, so we need to help her. Also, our young energetic shepherd mix loves to push her around and pounce on her. Thankfully Sequoia has held up, and hasn't hurt herself too badly. We are so happy that Sequoia has made it this long in her life. She ended up with hip problems when she was only 9 months old, and luckily I was in a situation to pay for her surgery. Since then she has lived many good years, and we hope she sticks around for many more!
Happy Birthday Squirt!!
