Thanks Patti-- When I place my order, I'll ask for Nancy.

Aw Tipper, hope he starts liking his bath again, sending hugs!

Patti,
Toby is so upset because Yorkies have a need to be right in the middle of things. He does not understand your need to protect him above all else, he just feels left out. Try to give him as much attention as possible under the circumstances, but please don't put them together. Poor, little, sweet boy.:o

No wonder Tipper is lashing out, poor thing. She has to be exhausted just struggling to breathe at times.

Please take care of yourself too Patti. I know it's hard, but you have five animals counting on you. Sending strength, prayers, hugs and healing energy your way. :) xxxx

Hi Everyone:
Not too great of a nite for Tipper. She really has congested sounds, and hard swallowing, I could hear her get up during the nite swallowing, and swallowing. I have got to some how figure this out and help her, I am desperate. Last nite we had light rain, it did not bother her. She has already walked this morning so we are going to get ready for the vet trip here soon. Today will be the 4th shot and blood pressure and weight. I think she gained some. This is maddening as I feed her the exact same thing every day. I would like to get a lb off of her. Tipper did not enjoy her bath yesterday like she always did prior to Cushings. She is nice and clean anyway. She used to love her baths almost jumping in the utility sink. After I wet her down and saw the deterioration of her back leg muscles and the thin skin on her body it made me break down. I cannot believe this is my strong muscular Jack Russell. This is heart breaking to say the least. What this disease does is criminal. Well I got my IPhone 5 yesterday, but have not had time to get is set up with all that goes on here. I would not have gotten it because of the price point, but since I have employee benefits still, I got it for practically nothing. Gone are the good old days when both my phones and bills were paid by my work. Oh well you just have to adjust and tighten the old belt. Well we have to get ready and I have to trick Tipper as I don't want her pressure rising. Blessings

Oh Patti, I read your letter to my wife Linda (Moo) and we both are saying prayers for you. I hope the best for Tipper. She has been a great companion to you. I know our Lulu was, and we have been so blessed with our terrier mix Stanley, (picture in my latest album) that we have been able to cope better. Great you can get your IPhone yet, we are due to have an upgrade with our Droids, not sure if I will stay with or try an Iphone, but at least they are working still. and yes the bills are awful. I am still trying to get full-time work. I have managed to get a little computing at home from my current contract employer, but it isn't enough, and I don't know if we will make it much longer.

I am so sorry you cannot find work. That is a terrible situation to be in. I pray soon something will some your way. I know it has been hard adjusting for me on a fixed income now. Especially with all these vet bills that come at you from every direction. I will pray you find some work. Blessings
Patti

Sorry to hear Tipper had a lousy night. Hoping today's trip to the vet goes well and that Tipper is not too stressed from the trip!

Hi Everyone:
Just a short one this time. Tipper did well at the vets today. Her blood pressure was good and her weight was down. She got her shot like a trooper, so no problems today. She is however laying at my feet as I type this wheezing very loudly as she tries to sleep. God please let me find a solution to this before it takes my girl. Blessings
Patti

Patti, Glad to hear Tipper's vet visit went well but sorry to hear about the wheezing. I'm sorry I don't have any advise to give you but just know that I think of you and Tipper and hope and pray things get better.

Hi Patti,
I am relieved to hear that Tipper's appointment went well this morning. :)Did the vet say anything about her breathing issues or is he just ignoring it? It seems to only happen when she sleeps. It that correct? Hugs to all of you. Belly rubs for Tipper and Toby. I feel sorry for him too. Xxxx
