Hi Stormy,
Sorry to be so late on replying, I don't read very often these days, but I hope you start feeling better soon.

I wanted you to know I was thinking of you the other day.  I volunteer at our local humane society one day per week socializing bunnies.  I have never been a bunny person, but they are starting to grow on me and spending a couple of hours cuddling with furry little creatures is certainly not work for me.  Anyway, a couple of weeks ago, a 13-year-old Beagle was surrendered because his owner had passed away and no one in the family could take him.  I would have taken him in a minute, but knew my cocker would have eaten him alive, and the poor old guy didn't need any more trauma.  After 2 weeks he was adopted into a wonderful home by one of the volunteer dog walkers.  It was such a relief to me.

I thought about you this week, after the tragedy in Virginia, because like me, you have animals you love, but no family to rescue them if something were to suddenly happen to you.  I think I have some friends who dog sit for me who would take the dogs if they could, but I don't know what would happen to my elder cats.  My kids don't have living situations which would allow for pets, so they couldn't take them either.  It was just one more aspect of the tragedy this week that has saddened me to a point I can't quite get past.

I know I have gone in a odd direction for your post, but I did want you to know that you were in my thoughts.  I have no help to offer for the feet or the accompanying illness, but I send good wishes that you feel better soon.

Hugs,

Brigid

Stormchild,

  I'm glad Brigid posted what she did because now it feels a bit more "normal" what I'm going to post.  I don't know if this is information that you already have, but here goes.  They did one of those short little bits on TV about a certain stretching routine that can help bring about significant relief for plantar fasciiitis in 5-6 weeks.  I woke up with the TV on in the middle of the night,    heard this and thought about you.

   As always, they said to check with your doc before trying it, but it seemed a very doable thing when they demonstated it.  I don't know if you if you know about this, but they made it seem like it was relatively new.

Thaks Moon..... ((()))

Brigid, would you believe, I worry about that exact thing, all the time. Except tonight I am worrying because one of the four types of food I give my girls is on the recall list... a Royal Canin product. Fortunately I use it as a treat, don't give much, and the main things I feed them are - so far - not on the recall list.

the way this scandal is shaping up, though, I'll be surprised if any variety escapes ultimately. Now it's rice gluten as well as wheat. And they're saying the contamination was deliberate, done to create falsely high analysis results for protein content.

So far my girls seem OK... but I'm watching them like a hawk now.

Cat's Paw... yes, I have seen the stretching exercises and am trying some of them. I do think they make a difference... I do think that I had that relapse of bad soreness because I was getting ill...

I hope this note finds your heart and your feet feeling better. I was thinking of you because I saw an ad for a medicine that treats foot pain of your type. But my Lord it had too many side effects. Has there been anything that has helped?

I just looked over the last posts and see you all had progressed to talking about pet foods. I may go back to a raw diet for Henry. At least I know the food is fine that way. He actually leaves for America tomorrow to stay with Grandma. (I am so sad). I need to mkae sure my husband is careful about what food he gets for him. He has a "hot spot" again. I used Listerine on it as you had recommended Storm. I think he felt some sting from it, but at least I know the wound is clean.

Love, Beth

Hi Beth/Storm,

Listerine for hot spots?  Never heard of that.  How convenient.  My little dog buddy has hot spots.  I'm going to try it. 

Storm, is it possible it would help your feet?  Maybe it is like in the movie, My Big Fat Greek Wedding where the father used Windex for everything.  Hope your feet are feeling better.
