Smith's test results came back negative! So she doesn't have Cushings. The test readings that indicated the possibility of Cushings were apparently not that out of whack for a Golden Retreiver who will be 13 in August, so he said unless she seems sick, don't worry.Since she doesn't have most the symptoms of a dog with Cushings (large appetite, incontinence, lethargy, depression) and since the one she has, rear leg weakness, is easily explained by her dysplasia, we're just not going to mess.
I think it's all the dachshund's fault, personally.

Yay, Smith!
And that's got to be one of the best photos ever posted on the internet.
Arf!
Adam took the photo, but its great, isn't it?
Adam should do a whole dog calendar with Smith and the dachshund.
(Smith and the Dachshund almost sounds like an 80's detective show.)
Excellent news about Smith (who has a great name, by the way). As to "the dachshund" - sigh. Everyone always wants to blame the short and the elongated . . .
;-)
Karen, I can tell you, Shelly is no Ramona. :)
(Ramona is Karen's basset, a delightful character. Nothing like the useless one at all.)
Shelly certainly looks culpable, but not in the least ashamed.
And I agree -- one of the greatest photos ever!
