Have I finally found my friends? (Palmer has crossed over the Bridge)

Hi Susan,

Glad to hear that Palmer's symptoms continue to improve. I also recommend Diamondback Drugs. They are reasonable, prompt and great to deal with.

Hi Susan,

Glad to hear that Palmer is doing well! Friskiness is GOOD! Has his hair started to come back in? signs going away again?

Keep in touch, or I'll have to come looking for you! :p

Hugs,
Leslie and the girls

Thanks for all the replies!! Diamondback drugs should give you guys a commission!!:)

Leslie - Palmer's hair seems to have stopped thinning out. :D We got him groomed one week ago and he looks terrific. We have him cut very short since he minds the heat so and his black/gray hair gets so hot so fast. I was looking him over yesterday with the hair issue in mind....I don't see any bald spots and don't really see anything unusual. :D:D:D

His appetite has picked up a little, but I'm not concerned yet. My husband has been doing the feeding lately and I think he's a bit stingy with the food. (not purposely) He's drinking a lot of water....but nothing like he was there for awhile.

Our temperatures have taken a bit of a drop, so I can walk him more regularly.....and longer distances. In another 30 days he'll be allowed back on the boardwalk and he absolutely loves going there. He always meets several other doggies and they're usually pretty nice.

I'll keep you posted on any changes. I expect we need to do another stim test within the next month and I'll have to be talking with the vet about the compounding thing. All's been pretty "quiet" on the home front.

-Susan and Palmer:D

Susan,

Do you still have the appt. with an Endocrinologist tom. for Palmer?

Lori-
We canceled the appointment for the time being. We want to see how Palmer continues to do on the increased dosage.

And I think I'm going to stop bragging about his improvements. His tummy looks really big tonight.:confused::(:eek:

His poor little midriff is just too big for his frame. I sure wish this had never happened.:(:(:(

Lori-I meant to ask....what kind of doggie is it in the picture sitting in front of the larger black dog? Sooooo cute!!

Hi Susan,

You know we are keeping a close eye on you and Palmer, and want the very best for both of you. So I am glad that his signs seem to getting better, if ever so slightly...a step forward is always good, even if it's baby steps. ;) The heat has been affecting my pack, too, but we have had some nicer days recently and they really appreciate them. They have all felt a bit better!

Please keep in touch and let us know how Palmer is doing.
Hang in there!
Hugs,
Leslie and the girls

PS.
Ok, Lori, I gotta know about that little baby, too. I had not noticed it before, their coats blended together in my old eyes and the big one just looked really fuzzy! Now I can see another set of eyes in that big baby's chest! :rolleyes:

Hi Susan,

I too, am glad that Palmer is improving, even baby steps are huge improvements.

The little guy is a Pomerdoodle (Pomeranian/Poodle) named Tink/Tinker, tho I don't see any Pomeranian in him at all, and he is a handful. :eek::D The big guy behind him is his house-mate, a Rottweiler, named Ziggy, the most gentlest dog, plays so nice with Tink. Ziggy weighs 150lbs, Tink weighs 15lbs, now. I believe in that picture Tink was just 4 months old. I just talked to my girlfriend, Dusty, about him, and she said Tink is so strong minded, she's having one heck of a time house training him. :(

Love and hugs.
Lori

Lori-
Well that explains it. Palmer is a PomePoo! Aren't they just wonderful? :) I love all the smaller poodle mixes. Their faces just always seem so expressive. Palmer is very strong minded as well. He will not listen and come when called, if he has something more interesting to check out. :(:mad::eek::eek:

It's funny the two have matched up. I tried several months ago to talk Bob into our acquiring a puppy now. I got a very firm, flat, "NO!!!" I thought it would be good for Palmer and give him more exercise. Palmer likes dogs his size.,...the 15 - 20 lb range.

Have a good weekend, all!

Hi Susan,

It's been quite a while since we heard from you...was wondering how you and Palmer were doing, hope everything is fine.

Love and hugs.
