We went through this last winter with our beloved Smokey. Herniated discs are a problem for long backed, short legged dogs we learned. It was a long recovery, and for awhile his hind end was paralyzed. But now he feels so good, that we have to rein him in. What eventually has been a huge benefit is acupuncture and Chinese herbs.<br /> We take him to a vet for whom that is her specialty. Best wishes to you and Oscar. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rocker-rate-skull-boots#post-1188165 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 23:25:52 +0000 adorkable 1188165@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Keeping my fingers crossed for the pooch.&nbsp;</p> <p>Only you could pull of those boots! </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rocker-rate-skull-boots#post-1188027 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 21:21:13 +0000 JAileen 1188027@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>I'm sorry your wiener dog is having problems.

Killer boots. :-)</p> <p>Sending good thoughts for Oscar. Our husky mix, Rocky had surgery for three ruptured disks when he was about 13 years old, and we took him for swimming therapy for a few months after that. He made a wonderful recovery and we had three more happy years with him before he succumbed to cancer last year. So I think the surgery will be successful and provide Oscar great relief. He's still so young! Rocky was pretty old already but the doc said he was a very hardy dog for his age, so chances were good he'd regain the ability to walk. This came on very suddenly -- we were leaving for a vacation and all of a sudden Rocky wouldn't stand up or walk, so it was really scary. A lot of people would have had him put to sleep at that point, but I had just lost my mom and could not take that idea -- I thought we had to at least give him a chance. So glad we did! The pic is a painting my sister did of Rocky, it's a wonderful likeness. :-)</p> <p>Our pets are so precious! I am missing my dogs so much. They're in TX with my husband right now. I'll see them in a week. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rocker-rate-skull-boots#post-1187564 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 14:01:24 +0000 Neel 1187564@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>Your little pups are soooo adorable!! Fingers crossed that Oscar's surgery goes well and he is back to his bubbly self.</p> <p>And you look fantastic and ready to take on the world Those skull boots are seriously RATE!!! Cool earrings and ring too. </p> https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/topic/wiw-rocker-rate-skull-boots#post-1187551 Fri, 07 Mar 2014 13:45:42 +0000 leopardluxe 1187551@https://youlookfab.com/welookfab/ <p>So yesterday's outfit was pretty much a fallback one for me. My mindshare is elsewhere and I'm stressed out. So it was pretty much "go gray, black, and ultra comfortable."</p> <p>I'm stressed because one of my two wiener dogs, Oscar, ruptured a disc in his neck about a month and a half ago (dachshunds are prone to degenerative disc disease even at a young age and this scenario is not at all uncommon in the breed). We've spent the last&nbsp;6 weeks&nbsp;with him on anti-inflammatory steroids, pain killers, and muscle relaxants to see if it would resolve without requiring the need for surgery (which often works when combined with about a month of rest).&nbsp;&nbsp;He'd have good days and then bad days --but ultimately, it isn't resolving medically so now they have to do surgery to remove the disc.</p> <p>His surgery was supposed to be yesterday. Then the surgical neurologist had another dog come in with an emergency fractured back, which required immediate&nbsp;surgery. So now Oscar is scheduled for surgery today at noon. I just want to see the little dude back to his happy, healthy self and can't stand to see him in pain. He's a rescue who already has severe separation anxiety issues and this has made those far worse as well.</p> <p>So if you all have some positive energy and good thoughts to spare, please send them Oscar's way! I added a couple&nbsp;photos of Oscar and his "brother-in-fur" Dash&nbsp;in happier days (blending with my furniture. Oscar is the dapple &nbsp;who actually matches my vintage cowhide chair!).&nbsp;These guys&nbsp;are the hooligans you may occasionally catch glimpses of photobombing my WIW photos.</p> <p>Anyway, enough sharing my stress story!&nbsp;My fallback outfits tend to be very RATE and usually black and gray. Yesterday was no different. Temperatures were also forecasted to fluctuate a bit, so layering was a necessity. </p> <p>It's hard to tell in the photo but I am actually wearing a sleeveless hooded and drape-y&nbsp;sweatshirt material moto-style vest&nbsp;by Helmut Lang over a cropped leather moto jacket. With the addition of the tunic length tank I had the option of removing either the leather jacket or the vest if it got warmer later and the outfit would still look decent (turned out it stayed cool all day so all the layers stayed on).</p> <p>Finished the&nbsp;rocker look with some funky silver jewelry and&nbsp;my Frye Jenna Skull boots. I love these boots. They are super comfortable engineer style and the silver and brass studs radiate out from a profile of a skull on the side (I included a picture from Zappos of a close up so you can see the details better).</p> <p>So, I was stressed out mentally most all day but at least I was comfortable!</p> <p><b>Hat:</b> Goorin Bros.
