He also licks Winston's butt, which Winston puts up with for a surprisingly long time, but he seems to like it. The two of them cuddle up together, too. <BR/><BR/>I'm amazed that Big is so good with the cats. He was terrorized by our first cat, Panther. She would wait until Big was sound asleep, and then just walk up and smack him on the nose with her paw, claws extended. Poor Big would wake up, startled, looking all around, trying to figure out what was going on. She also liked to trap Big and the other dogs in the garage. Then she would sit at the end of the hallway, just staring at them and they didn't dare walk near her. That cat had attitude!Bethhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03461366318368627707noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139459395637238387.post-38626095414194267772007-10-05T20:25:00.000-06:002007-10-05T20:25:00.000-06:00I forgot to inquire earlier, what's the dynamic li...I forgot to inquire earlier, what's the dynamic like between pups and kitties?S.

My former neighbor gave it to her dog Pearl when Pearl was having trouble with her back legs (standing up from a lying-down position, etc.), and it made a huge difference. After I heard about that, I got some for Christopher, and it seemed to help the arthritis in his spine.<BR/><BR/>BTW, I don't think I'd ever heard the story of how Big came to you. That is wonderful!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139459395637238387.post-87355684071631880192007-10-05T11:49:00.000-06:002007-10-05T11:49:00.000-06:00He must have been snuffling in the dirt outside.

We give him Glucosamine, Chondroitin and MSM tablets for his joints...seems to be helping some.Ellehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04733838869805925920noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5139459395637238387.post-56532285076115181922007-10-03T12:25:00.000-06:002007-10-03T12:25:00.000-06:00Doesn't he have the cutest face?
