@Dina
Thank you and your hubby as well.
We have several people who can buy groceries for us.

I hope you had fun yesterday.

Dina:
Hello everyone! I hope you and your hubby are feeling better, Regen.
I am working from home today, which is good. Tomorrow is Spring Day here! I will work from home too because the university is closed. Spring Day is also Student's Day, so students of High School and University got to celebrate without classes. In case you are wondering, primary school children have classes that day, but not September 11, which is primary school Teacher's day.
Things at work are going better. I cannot say they are wonderful, but they are better and that is good enough for me  :)

Fcrate:
Hello ladies..It's been a while. I've been following the posts but haven't had the energy to reply myself, so here's a little concentrated reply:
@Regen: I hope you and your husband are better now. Are MiniRegenbogen and MicroRegenbogen okay?
@Dina: These baked goodies look awesome. I love baking stuff (pizza from scratch with a heavy sweet dough and stuffed crust is my favorite) and I love buying them. Bakeries are my weakness; whenever I pass one by and they have just finished baking something I have to buy some from what ever it is.
I'm glad things are improving at your work, but how is your computer holding up?

So there's this thing that's bothering me a lot. There's  this absolutely lovely stray dog in my village, very friendly to everyone. I always played with him a bit whenever I passed by. He was kinda adopted by the whole street. About a month ago I saw that he got crippled. Apparently he took a nap under one of the government contractors vehicles and they ran him over. He couldn't use his back legs anymore. I wanted to put him down using the extra strength tranq that I use for surgery on my cows (3 ml will put a 700 cow to sleep for 4-6 hours) , but at the time I only had 2 ml left, and I wasn't sure they'll be enough. I finally managed to get a new bottle about 10 days ago, but by then I saw the dog actually walking on two legs, with his back legs stiff and unmoving. He managed to walk, not crawl, and he seems to find enough food. So I let him be. A few days later the man who kinda adopted him came by to buy some milk and we talked a bit, he says the dog is in a lot of pain and whines a lot at night. Now I'm a little unsure what to do. Should I let him go on? He seems to manage, but I don't want him to suffer. Any thoughts?

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Fcrate !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Good to see you back!

That's a difficult decision what to do with the dog. Maybe he has more pain because he walks around using the bad legs too much. I can't imagine how he could walk without using his hind legs at least a little bit. And that's why they hurt him so much when the day is gone.
I've seen people build kind if a
wheelchair for dogs without hind legs: A little cart with two wheels so they can even run with their front legs and the cart makes it possible for them to move almost normal. If you could find a way to make something like that for him, maybe the pain will lessen after a while. I'll look it up, I can't really describe it that well. And I'm not sure if it can be used on dogs who still have their legs.

If not I'm afraid it would be better to let him go.  :(
This is so sad. The poor dog.

Edit:
I almost forgot: mini and micro have it too. So we are all in quarantine at the same time. Good I had some foresight and bought medicine and lots of food last week. My mother , a friend and some neighbours are helping with stuff.

Edit2:
It's in German, but just so you see what I mean. Somewhere there even was an instruction how to build them.

Edit3: oh, I think they can't get out or in on their own, which is bad, if he wants to lie down. He would need someone to take care of him all the time.

Fcrate:
Thanks Regen. Hope all of you get well soon.
As I said, the hind legs are completely stiff, turning inward towards the stomach at an acute angle. He balanced on the two hind legs and hobbled along. And this is a stray, even if I could make something like that, it'll remove it, or the other strays will beat him up. Likewise I can't bring him into the farm. My dogs would destroy him.
