Bailey and Friends

Afternoon update (I lied)

Bailey is still enjoying her “vacation.” I just called and she was recently taken outside & peed. She is beginning to put some weight on her legs…one more so than the other. She is being kept well medicated-by injection. She ate a little when hand fed. (That's my Bailey!!! ;)) She is all curled up in several blankets and towels, looks very comfortable and all you can see is her cute little head. We are hoping we can pick her up tomorrow.




Addy and Leslie and Marianne....thank you for your kindness.


Marie-no apologies necessary. I just want to be sure you understand it is 6 weeks NOT 3 months.:eek::D




Shampoo Alert!!!-



As I was conditioning my hair in the shower this morning, I took time to read my shampoo bottle. SHOCK---The shampoo that runs down my entire body says "for extra volume & body." Seriously, why have I not noticed this before?

Now I understand why I am so "full-figured."

Tomorrow I am going to start using "Dawn" dish soap. It says "dissolves fat that is otherwise difficult to remove."
:D:D;):D

Love,
Susan

LOL Sus, that's my girl!!!!!!!!:D:D:D

Good news on the Bailey front. Keep it coming!!!!!

love,

Morning Sus,

What is happening with Little Miss? I am going to assume the no post is because you went to pick her up and everything is okay!!!

You most likely have your hands full.

love you,
addy

Okay Susan/MOM,

You have me LOL with the 6 weeks vs. 3 months--I told you I am not thinking straight!!!:eek:

The shampoo info--how do you think these things up--LOL!!!!:D:p:);)

I should check my bottle it probably says the same thing. Maybe the Clarifying shampoo is the route I need to go to clean out everything from what I have been eating with the stress levels--my own fault--I know how to eat right, but.....cinnamon treats--ummmm!!:eek::D

I hope Miss Bailey is back home as I type this post and in your loving arms again!!!:)

((((HUGS)))) Miss Ella sends ((((paw hugs)))) to Miss Bailey!!!:D:):p;)

Just time to do a quickie-
We are home. Bailey is doing well, all things considered. The biggest issue is that if anyone other than me goes toward her, she is growling and if you don't stop, she is snapping. I have to start picking her up so Bob can take her out of my arms while I am holding her up. She will not let him pick her up.

It's going to be a LONG 6 weeks.

-Susan

Glad she is home!!!!!:D:D:D:D:D:D:D

She will adjust. Shes been through alot. We would be snappy too!!!

I am so happy she came through it well.

love,
addy

Okay-well once again it is 2:30 AM. This is the only time I can grab for the computer.

Bailey's incisions look good. :) She has something like 14 staples on each side. Well....actually...I only counted one side. There is just some slight redness and not much swelling that I can tell. Great news is that she pooped this afternoon. That seems to be the hardest thing to do because they then have to put all her weight on the rear legs.

She has eaten some. She does not want to chew rawhide. Tonight she just started kind of playfully biting my fingers.:) As the hours pass, she gets more and more like her pre-surgery self. There are 3 medications to give her and she has reached a point that even using the "pea shooter" she is getting very angry....so we switched to peanut butter to hide the little pills and that is going well.

I, on the other hand, had a very discouraging visit with the foot doc on Thursday. He cannot explain the pain in my left big toe and his solution is to fuse the joint that is not fused yet. The right toe just this week started acting the same, in pain in the same place, but it's not long enough to make a decision on what to do with that. The #2 toe on the right foot......he wants to "redo" that. That would mean another 6 weeks with the boot. I am seeing his associate next week to get her opinion. I am scheduled to see him the following week. I am waiting to hear the second opinion before I make any decisions about this. Both feet have been operated on twice. Why is this so hard???:mad::mad::mad::mad:

Must go get sleep.

Hi Susan,

Glad to hear that Bailey is finally back home. :) She may not be quite herself for a few days but she will come around with a little TLC, which I know you have plenty of to give.

The attitude reminds me a bit of Squirt - Terrier's can hold grudges and Squirt has enough Terrier in her to allow her to do just that at the drop of a hat! :rolleyes::D She gets this look in her eye that says, "Just WHO do you think you are to do this to ME? I am the QUEEN!" :p:D:p And she can be snooty for days! The good thing is that her loving side is just as strong. ;)

I hope your feet don't require more surgery. That just makes me cringe to think about it.

Hugs,
Leslie

Thanks, Leslie.

Oh Susan, I sure hope you dont need more surgery on your foot. Maybe it wont come to that.

I am glad to hear Bailey is perking up. I am sure she will heal up nicely and be back to her own sweet self soon.
Six weeks is not so bad. It will go fast. She will be raring to go just in time for summer!!!!!:):):):):):)

We took Koko to the groomer and he came back with a summer cut:rolleyes: I dont like his coat and face this short. I like his puppy cut. Hopefully he will grow out quickly.

Im getting ready for a rummage sale at the condo next week. The kids said they would help. :rolleyes::rolleyes::rolleyes:

Whenever I go outside and look at my potted hosta, I think of you!!!

love,
addy
