A re-introduction...

Hey guys,
Been a long time since I posted on here, was wondering if anyone remembers ole Porkchop and me...

Kind of lost track of this forum when we moved 3 years ago.  Moved from the Orlando area to Batesville Arkansas.  Lots of bulldogs around here too!

I think you left before I came - I'm Carla - owned by a 4yr old Olde English Bulldogge named "Meatball".

Meaty, Guubie, Guubas,  Buuby,  etc, for short!

thanks for the re-welcomes!
We're doing fine.  Porkchop is still as lazy and smelly and loud as ever...
She did have a close call a month and a half ago, somehow developed tick fever, we've never even seen a tick on her.  But, she went all limp one Saturday morning, and we thought she was dead for sure.  Rushed her into the vet, and they saved my puppy.  She ended up having a huge, and I mean huge abcess from the bite a week later, right on her right flank that had to be cut open, and nursed back after a couple of days in the vets office and a bunch of antibiotics.  The abcess was about the size of a softball.
But, the wound is all healed up(don't know how so fast, the vet cut out a big section the size of a golfball).  she's back to her normal lazy self, sleeping away every day at our store!  she'll still be on anti biotics for another month for the tick fever though.

Word to the wise.... we learned the hard way....  Frontline may work good, but it doesn't stop the tick from the initial bite, and that's all it takes....  Put a tick collar on your dogs!!!  Porks is outside, litterally, maybe an hour a week!  She hates it outside, we have to force her out sometimes even to go to the bathroom.  How in the world she managed to find the one tick that was infected, beyond me!
