    O.k, I will try this again, now! I do like Cilek's harness better than Molly's--Cilek's looks more padded, & it looks like it fits better around her chest area. Molly's straps are not as padded, & she has many of those fatty lipomas, some of which are huge & I'm always afraid the straps put too much pressure on the lumps. Also, I feels like the straps may cut off her circulation a bit when she is laying down, so I don't leave her harness on her for too long at a time.

    I hope the gold bead implantation works for Cilek's arthritis! I've never heard of that before--how does it work? Please keep us posted, & I hope it will work for her!

    These pictures are not the best, but you can get the idea....

    Oya, since Cilek is struggling with arthritis like my Molly is, I wanted to make sure you see this--there is a new medication available now as an alternative to Rimadyl. It is called Galliprant. I don't know if it is available where you are, but you might want to ask your vet about it. It is expensive, but my vet said if it seems to work, to try giving her half instead of a whole one. I know it isn't a magic "cure" or anything, but Molly does seem more comfortable, & doesn't seem to be having quite as much trouble getting up. She has been on it for not quite a week....

    Sorry I couldn't write earlier but you were in my mind. Çilek had her gold implantation. I'll write a post about it. In the beginning it was like a miracle. Now I don't know. I'm a little bit sad about it. Good part is she doesn't have pain. I'll write, hopefully.
