There were many reasons for the change of the site software, the biggest was security. The age of the old software also meant no server updates for certain programs. There are many benefits to the new software, one of the biggest is the mobile functionality. Ill fix up some stuff in the coming days, we'll also try to get some of the old addons back or the data imported back into the site like the garage. To create a thread or to reply with a post is basically the same as it was in the prior software. The default style of the site is light colored, but i temporarily added a darker colored style, to change you can find a link at the bottom of the site.

Thanks for the well wishes & prayers **** Good News
:2thumbs: it's kinda what I thought, 2 weeks on the DL, bunches of anti-Inflamatories & pain meds to help manage the pain and take it easy. Yeah, I even asked the vet, how am I suppose to keep a dog like Teddy on the down low. But anyways, he is ok. Just a lot of rest for the next 2 weeks, & hopefully he'll be good to go for Lamonsters B-B-Q & Maggie Valley :2thumbs:

5/2/11*SpYderFest 2011 is over*Back to work
It's 69F but raining like crazy. I caged it in this morning. Teddy was very groggy this morning, I'm sure from all the meds, so I just allowed him to sleep in. If he has an accident in the house, I accept it & understand. He doesn't like going out in the rain anyway.
It's hard to believe SpYderFest went by so quickly. So many ppl we wanted to not just meet, but to actually get to know personally, but that didn't happen. As usual, even with as popular as Teddy is, we are loners on our own route it seems. There's just so many places that are not conducive to pets, especially when it comes time to eat. As I told the one guy at the golf course that kindly reminded us, "if you plan on eating here, the dog can't stay" I don't stay if Teddy can't stay. No big deal, we're used to it, but I sometimes just don't understand it.
Anyways, it's good to be home. I actually forgot how nice the roads and scenery here in my own back yard truly are. Not that Cuba doesn't offer up some nice Ryde'n roads of there own, but I guess I just missed the river. Route 8, that runs along the Ohio river & in front of my condo is a favorite Ryde. Did it 3 times since we've been back already & even pulling the Camper, it's still a hoot to ryde:2thumbs:
Hope everyone else had fun at SpYderFest as well.

In most cases the ban on pets is due to the health code regulations governing eating/food preparation establishments. It is not a reflection on Teddy or any other animal, it is just the business owner needing to obey the regulations to avoid the possibility of having his business shut down. Be thankful for those who bend the rules for Teddy, and be understanding about those who feel they cannot.

No doubt...... Understood
Right you are & I agree Scotty. I was in restaurant management for 13 years in a past lifetime, so I understand the businesses doing what they do. I guess my rambling was more along the lines of our government making the laws as such as they are. Especially after talking with other folks at SpYderFest from around the globe, seems many countries allow dogs in eating establishments. But that's all it was Scotty, was just me rambling. It just adds another adventure for us to figure out, so it's all good. I'm just really tired, more so emotionally than physical. Guess I worry a lil too much about my lil guy
pps:
but we make it all work:thumbup:
It was great to meet you in person btw, just wish we had more time to actually talkpps: How are you like'n yur new Viper Red RT622 trailer?:spyder2:

Hey Dave, I know you weren't throwing rocks. You are right in that the regulations aren't the same everywhere. I'm sure many dog owners would like to see things different here. There are others that might be unhappy, though. Wouldn't it be nice to have the flexibility to put up a "Dogs Welcome" sign? A person has the right to dream.Right you are & I agree Scotty.

I'm sure you are tired, and I know you are worried. That Spyder therapy has already helped. Maybe you can get some more real soon. I'm sure it will be even better when Teddy heals enough to meet his public again, too. I was sad that we didn't get a real chance to chat, too. I was counting on getting to know you guys better at the campground, but the rain got the best of me, and I abandoned the tent idea. Don't know if my wounded old body could have stood it anyway. The new trailer did real well on the trip home. We're gonna like it a lot. It looks great in red! I misplaced my camera, which Nancy found in my Spyderfest goodie bag on my return, so I have no pics yet, but I will post as soon as I take some. Give the Tedster a treat from me. See ya at Lamont's/Maggie Valley?

I don't think I'm alone on this...... We need a Teddy UPDATE.
He is in our prayers (never thought I'd be praying for a dog, especially one that not even mine nor have I ever met).

5/3/11*Still Raining*54F*Caged it in to work again today
Hey 2Gunns, if yur gonna be at Lamomsters Bar-B-Q or the Maggie Valley event, you'll hopefully have another chance at meet'n Teddy in person:2thumbs: as long as we get his inflammation under control and his ligaments "popped" back into place by then :helpsmilie:
He's doing ok, but I hate giving him all these different meds. He's so messed up, kinda like an aloof drunk almost :roflblack: Yesterday, he didn't want to wake up to go potty like usual at 4:15am before I have to leave for work, so I just let him sleep in. I knew i was gonna pay for that when I got home, & WOW :yikes: did I ever:cus: The vet told me he'd likely get an upset stomach with so much meds, and ....... Well....... I think y'all know what that means :yikes: so yeah, I had that to look forward to when I got home yesterdaypps: & probably again when I get home from work today. I knew it may happen, so I was prepared (I thought) & didn't say a negative word to him about his "accident", but I didn't have to, he knew he had dome wrong & as soon as I opened the door, he dropped his head without even look'n at me & just kinda whimpered 
my heart sank, cause he's always SO excited to see me, jumping around like a crazy dog. But not yesterday. After about an hour of cleaning, we made up & I reassured him he wasn't in trouble cause I know it's not his fault, and yup:clap: he still loves me :2thumbs:
I'll post more later tonight. Hope everyone is having a great day.

Thanks for the Tedster update. I'm sure Teddy is like Leroy in that he really wants to please you.... and knows what not to 'doo' . . . .
but when it can't be helped such as Teddy's situation now, it's entirely different than when they 'doo doo' out of protest :gaah:
Looking forward to updates on his progress. I know you're eager to get your buddy comfortably back on all fours...
Thanks for keeping us posted.

We have dealt with what you are going thru with the meds. It sucks cleaning up, but it's even worse for the dog. Ted will be better soon, and this info is coming from his BESTEST FAN...KIDDO aka The West Casino Kidd!!
Here are a couple of pics of her to cheer up Teddy!

5/4/11*42F*Mostly Cloudy but was dry this AM, so I rode in 
I got to Ryde in this morning, and WOW:thumbup:, Teds new :spyder2: seems to be a totally different beast than his 2010:ani29: I know a lot of that has to do with the much better suspension that the new Elka Shocks are providing. We had a break on the rain yesterday, but I only took Teddy out for a quick 15 minute Ryde, just to get our daily fix :doorag: & go thru the local drive thru so Teddy could get his French fry fixhyea:
Thanks draboo, & you know Teddy loves see'n pics of Kiddo. We're both look'n forward to meet'n ya's at Maggie Valley :thumbup:

5/4/11 * Teddy Update, I'm sorry buddy
What's that ole say'n? "The road to HELL is paved with good intentions:chill:."
Some of you got to see the care & attention that I give Teddy on a daily basis at SpYderFest:thumbup: While I'm sure some others just saw a crazy lil dog with a shaggy look'n MoHawk running amuck around Cowtown like he owned the place :roflblack: In any case, you should know that I love Teddy and do whatever I can for his best interest. I'm not a vet, nor a dog trainer like many at SpYderFest had assumed. I just work with the lil guy a lot & we have mutual love & respect for one another, I think that's what makes us "Click" so well :2thumbs:
:yikes:With all that be'n said, I think I almost killed my lil buddy last night :yikes: We were suppose to take his new :spyder2: over to my best friends house so he could help install TEDDYS new GPS & Rear View Camera System. After I got home yesterday, (expecting another mess to clean up) Teddy seemed almost like his usual self, no mistakes to clean & he was VERY HAPPY to see me, jump'n around like a crazy dog :roflblack: So I took him out to potty, and he #1'd a bunch, but no #2. I was a lil concerned, but if you had seen what I cleaned up the previous day, you would understand why :gaah: I was sure he was just "empty." Well, I didn't take this into consideration when I gave him his meds. I had even asked our vet here about giving him so much at the same time, & she reassured me it shouldn't be a problem. I believe, when going over all the meds with me, she might have told me to make sure he had already eaten, but that wasn't listed on any of his med. bottles, so I gave him his 1/4 pain pill with a bit of PNut Butter, then his Anti-Inflamatory liquid, then his liquid pain med for his collapsing trachea.
For those of you not familiar with small breed dogs, the price you pay for selective breeding can be detrimental health issues for the animal. That's the main reason I got out of breeding when I was married & lived in Florida. They preach breeding for the betterment of the breed, but so many times, it's exactly opposite that. With breeding poms down in size thru out the ages, we have compromised there bodies and many are subject to various health issues. Teddy has two of them. A collapsing trachea, which means that when he gets excited or stressed, his tiny wind-pipe (trachea) has a tendency to close on it's own, called a "collapsing trachea" causing him to cough uncontrollably & gasp for air. The other as I'm sure your aware of is his "Luxating Patella." Thats where his ligament going from his knee-cap to his lower leg has a tendency, when over exerted, to "pop" out of position causing pain & gimpiness until it's back in position.
Well, back to the point, his food and water was down & available but he hadn't eaten & I gave him all his meds. I decided to go ahead & shave him down as the most of the cold weather should be behind us:clap: He was being really good about get'n shaved, & with treats in hand, it usually isn't a hard thing to get done. But about half way thru, I could tell he was really tired, cause he was just standing there with his eyes closed letting me clip away. Next thing I knew, I thought he was just try'n to lie down so I couldn't trim under his belly & arms (seems to be ticklish:roflblack but his whole body went limp & he just kinda crumpled right there on the floor :yikes: Talking about Spaz'n :yikesut, what do you do in a case like this :dontknow:You can't call 911 for animals :helpsmilie:
Anyways, got in touch with a vet tech & since I could tell he was still breathing, she suggested I take a small ice cube & hold it to his tongue for a few seconds & BAM!!! That did the trick :yes::bowdown: It was almost like reanimation, he just came back to life. Seems since he didn't have anything in his stomach to help absorb all his meds. that his blood pressure dropped quickly & that's what caused him to collapse (pass out) & that the shock of the ice on his tongue got his adrenaline running again & perked him right up :2thumbs::clap::yes::bowdown: He was still very aloof for the next couple of hours, but after eating & drinking, he seemed back to his normal self :bowdown:
Never a dull moment with this pup around, thats for sure :roflblack:
Lesson of the day-
Only give meds after eating, never before :2thumbs:
