Thought our Reddit friends would enjoy this.

We had a lovely time there and kupo had many zooms and many snacks

1st photo was after we arrived and she made herself right at home on the sofa and the last photo is her home, happy to hog all my bed 🤣

Background info, busses have always been a bit of a struggle and I only use them when we absolutely have no other choice. But lately she has gotten more reluctant to even walk in a direction that takes us near a bus route, which is difficult as my road is surrounded by bus routes, so she will just stand at sections shaking like a leaf refusing to walk.

We also recently traveled to Yorkshire for a caravan holiday on the beach, which she absolutely loved the holiday,loved all her snacks, loved the beach (will upload photos and videos later) but the travel there and the travel back took a lot out of both of us, and got me thinking that maybe it's just not worth the stress for her to do anymore trips in the future.

Has anyone had success with gabapentin? Are there any unusual side effects that sighthounds might experience taking it that I should be aware of?

The video shows how she is on the train, the second two clips show her reluctance to walk towards the bus stop so that I could get her to the vets yesterday

After this I will go back to posting kupo joyful videos and photos ☺️

I brush her teeth every day, was using a silicone finger brush but I just didn't feel like it was doing enough so I switched to one of those dog toothbrushes that has three heads.

I will admit the first year maybe year and half we were hit and miss with the toothbrushing as it was always like fighting a velociraptor, but from 1 and half ish it has been every night teeth brushed. There is definitely more tartar build on one side which is the side I struggle the most as she doesn't appreciate my hand that close to her eyes on that side.

Would having a dental cleaning at her age (4yrs) stave off more intensive ones as she gets older or is it something that needs to be done every couple of years regardless (which after seeing so many stories, scares the living hell out of me)

P.s I have some gabapentin questions that I will be making a post about in a day or two, I just don't want it all to get mixed up, we have had a stressful two days lmao 🤣

Thank you in advance xx
