Oh, unfortunately I know that ear pain well. I know you will monitor things and see your doc if you need to. Those viruses can hang on for a long time. :(
Yes, August is a long way off. After the Superbowl it always feels so bleak at the prospect of no football for that long.
I am quite the wuss when I get sick, Flynn is made of much tougher stuff! I am pretty sure it is man flu though :D:D
He has had a little treat this afternoon, we had a hogget roast for Christmas and the little foot bone was left in the fridge and not cooked. So he is on lamb.. this is sheep so close enough and he spent a good hour out on the lawn gnawing it!! I don't give him bones often, but he sure enjoyed this one!
Everyone that I know that has been sick this year the cough especially just seems to hang on and on. Mollys IMS had a dry cough for months. :(.
I wish I was off till the 5th! But alas back t work Monday and back to vet regime on Monday too. Bp check. Still 4 days off was and is a nice break. Jasper and Shelby doing okay over the holidays?
I'm a wuss when I'm sick too. :o
Happy to hear Flynn got a bone to chew on. Lucky boy! Nothing special for anyone here other than a few extra treats here and there. Jasper can't really have anything other than the food and treats that he normally gets. I'm really too afraid to give him anything else. It seems everything has a lot of fat, and since he's on a prescription low-fat diet, I worry about pancreatitis or colitis. Not to mention his triglycerides. He's been doing so well with all that lately, I sure don't want to rock the boat.
And poor Shelby has to suffer because of it. I can't very well give her something and not let him have some of it. But she doesn't really know any different, so that's a good thing. The sad thing is her birthday was yesterday, and no special treats for that even, because her brother can't have anything. :(
They are both doing okay Sharlene, got some nice new toys for Christmas, and Santa brought another dog bed that they are both enjoying laying on! :) But mostly they have just been so happy that I've been able to be home with them. And I've been happy too!
Yep Molly is happiest when I am here with her. Well probably really happiest if both hubby and I are at home. They just want their pack all together.
Awwww happy late birthday Shelby!!!!
Hugs
Ahhhh well what they don't know they won't miss!!! Feeling good is much better for them anyway!! I have stopped walking Flynn up the beach last couple of months. AFter that last time when he got that old fish, it set off his IBD for about 6 weeks :eek: he does go up there with Dad on his leash during week days when they walk. I have been walking him in the school next door as it is holidays and no kids about, but that is not without its troubles too.. the other night he took off in a hurry and I nearly had heart failure thinking he was chasing the headmasters cat@!! Took me a wee bit to catch up with him but no harm done. I really like to let him off leash to have a good run, he so enjoys it and it does my heart good too! Might take him to the dog park this week, but it is too hot most of the day and I am not an early riser on holidays!! Will have to see what time they are open too!
Hi Tina,
Stopping by to wish you a happy new year. I hope you nana is doing well.
Koko was so happy to have me home as well, too bad their bubbles will burst after next week, though I only have Thursday off, I hope you have Wednesday off too.
Happy New Year!
Hi Everyone,
I have posted a few quick notes this afternoon, unfortunately I haven't been able to be on the forum very much lately. Lots of overtime at work due to end of the year. Then on Thursday my Nana fell again at her assisted living facility. She has injured her right shoulder. Her arm is immobilized, and she is getting medication for pain. She has been on hospice, but now seems to be going downhill quickly since the fall. I have needed to be out there in the evenings after work, and spent most of the day there yesterday. My mom will be coming from Texas in the next couple of days. She had been doing pretty well prior to this, and was able to enjoy Christmas, so I am thankful for that.
So I may not be able to be around very much due to that right now, but I just want everyone to know that I am reading along when I can and I'm thinking about all of you guys. Addy, thanks so much for the New Year wish, unfortunately I also had to work Wednesday, and just had the actual holiday off. But I was grateful for that.
Jasper, thank goodness, is hanging in there for the time being, and I am praying that it continues. I don't think I have known a sweeter natured or more affectionate dog. He has been so good about me being gone so much. Such a Mama's boy he is, just sweet to the core. I love him so much.
So I may be scarce, but I will be reading and will pop in when I can. Please keep my Nana in your thoughts.
Hugs,
Tina and Jasper xo
Oh no Tina! Poor Nana. Sending well wishes her way!
Glad to hear that Jasper is doing well and maintaining. Hope that continues.
I do hope at some point you won't be working so much over time and get some serious Tina time. :)
Thanks for popping into Molly's thread. She's hanging in there. I am going to make an appt for this week to get an ACTH follow up test.
Sending big hugs your way and come on Nana!!
Hi Tina,
Sending healing energy to your Nana and and tons of strength to you my dear. :p
So glad to hear that Jasper has been hanging in there pretty well. Yes he is a sweetheart.:p
