Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 I know what you mean about hitting the edge of the band Kendra! I've already done that too, but just laugh about it. We kiss the top of her head a lot more, too. I know Maddie will get used to it, it'll just take time. She's been pretty fussy today, but I think it's a combination of the band and very little sleep. She's a trooper, though. How many teeth does Hanna have? Aren't those little pearly whites the cutest things? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 Maddie has two also, but more must be on the way. She gnaws on anything she can get her hands and mouth on! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 9, 2000 Report Share Posted May 9, 2000 Hang in there ! Maddie will pull through. Hanna slept soundly from day one, but they're all different. I didn't realize what very well natured little sweetheart I had. She popped her first tooth on Sunday, her second on Monday, and I think there's another one on it's way (one cheek is beet red!!) Anyway, not a peep about either tooth. I wouldn't have even known the first was there if I hadn't had my fingers in there!!! I too miss all the strokes and kisses. I find myself kissing the band itself (at the forehead). When I try to kiss her cheek/nose, whatever, I always bang the bridge of my nose on the edge of the band - yee-ouch!!! I'll never learn. I've done it a hundred times, and I'll expect a hundred more!

She's been doing pretty well with it, but would not sleep in it last night. Maybe I was pushing it too much, but the folks at CT said if she was doing well with it I should try to put her to bed with it on. Well, she screamed and screamed - and this is a kid who goes down for bed great. Just rolls to her side and goes right to sleep. So, after listening to her howl for a bit we relented and took it off. Figured she could use a good night's rest. Have any of you found this with your little babes in either the band or the helmet? Was sleeping an issue for anyone? Anyway, just put her down for her morning nap and there was more crying, but this time I stood tough and she fell asleep. I guess she just needs to get used to it. I suppose WE need to get used to it too. I already miss stroking her (sparse) hair. :-) Have a great week everyone! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 Sorry to hear it has been so rough with Maddie. hated the fitting appointment. He screamed and fought everything. After we left his head alone, he pulled a few times on the velcro and then left it alone. (He is 8 1/2 months) The first night of sleep was tough (strange house, bed, the band) and I had to rock him to sleep and put him in the crib without waking (it took 4 tries) but he slept through the night. Having the band has actually helped his rolling over skills. He was just starting to master that when we got the band and it didn't stop him one bit. Now he gets furious when he gets stuck on his tummy when he has rolled into a corner somewhere. I hope Maddie (and you) gets through these first days ok.

Guest guest Posted May 10, 2000 Report Share Posted May 10, 2000 Thanks Sue, Maddie screamed through the whole casting. It got to where no noise was coming from her, but she was clearly sobbing. Last night it took me two tries of rocking her to sleep and transferring her to her crib without waking her before successfully putting her down. She slept through the whole night and even slept later than she normally does. Poor thing was just exhausted. I know she's getting used to it and again, during the day, doesn't mind it at all. I think she just has trouble getting comfy at night, then gets frustrated. We're getting ready to snazz up the band with some paint and/or stickers. Call me sick, but she looks kind of cute in the thing. My husband said it reminds him of an old time hockey helmet, similar to one he had as a child.

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2000 Report Share Posted May 12, 2000 : I hope she starts going to sleep easier for you. I know how tough it is to start rocking to sleep and tip toeing out of a room again!!! We opted to use stickers. My 4 year old can help, therefore she is proud of it and tells EVERYONE all about it when we are out and about. Also, we'll change them every week (every day if she had her way!). The painted ones do look better, but stickers will work fine for us. And I agree, the kids do look cute. It's those darn cute smiles they have!!

Guest guest Posted May 12, 2000 Report Share Posted May 12, 2000 Sue, Thanks for the encouragement. It's getting better each day and she really is a little trooper. I think that on top of getting used to the band she has also gotten some sort of bug and just hasn't been herself. Just a tough week all around! I finally went to 's and bought some stickers, paint and some acrylic varnish for finish it off. I think we'll do a combination of paint and stickers. I'm a big Golden Retriever lover and am involved in Golden rescue here in AZ so I had thought about doing a bunch of Goldens frolicking on her band, but I think we'll stick to the original plan of an underwater scene. Maybe we'll paint a Golden scuba diving! Have a great weekend! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 Hi ! Yep, our first " baby " is Kirby our 3 year old Golden. I swear I can hear him saying " I'm the baby! I'm the baby! " I would encourage rescue...they are the best pets - whether you go with a pure breed or mix. Sadly, our first Golden rescue, Buzzy,(who started out as my foster boy, then I fell in love and adopted him) passed away this past spring. He was just so special. He taught me how wonderful senior rescues are. Where exactly do you live? There are several Golden rescues throughout the country. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 Not to get too far off the subject, but what is Golden Rescue? We have a program for greyhounds in our area (giving homes to retired racing dogs) but who would not want a golden retriever? They are such beautiful dogs.

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 Hi Sue, Unfortunately, when a breed becomes popular, like the Golden Retriever, it becomes a " kiss of death " for the breed. People begin breeding irresponsibly (and at high volumes) and people BUY irresponsibly. We take in Goldens anywhere from several months old to 13 years old. Some dogs come to us for reasons such as owners death or owner moving out of the country. Sometimes it's divorce and sometimes it's just plain " we don't have time " . We also pick up dogs at pound who were strays. If you have some extra time you can check out our website at www.golden-retriever.org We are just one of many Golden rescues throughout the country. It's a fun website and informative. Enjoy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 Hi , We live in Kitimat, BC Canada, it's on the northcoast of BC. I think they have Golden rescue out of Vancouver BC. In a couple of years I think we will look into getting one. I can't imagine my life without a golden in it. I not only have to worry about our son, 's head, but Dakota also has allergies, and is always throwing us something to deal with - we laugh and say we need medical insurance for our dog. But I wouldn't change it for anything - he's been the bes pet and is absolutely wonderful with his little human " brother " . I guess we shouldn't clog up the sight with our golden talk so if you want to email me directly my address is bthornton@....

Guest guest Posted May 13, 2000 Report Share Posted May 13, 2000 I know I don't understand how anyone can get rid of a golden. Even thought Dakota has allergies, and gets hot spots, I would do anything for him. And the joy and love he gives us is definately worth it. ----- Original Message ----- From: and Luck <msluck@...> <Plagiocephalyegroups> Sent: Friday, May 12, 2000 11:17 PM Subject: Re: Started the band > Not to get too far off the subject, but what is Golden Rescue?
