Grab all those sleep moments you can get. That was so funny what you wrote about the costumes on the poop Gods!. I saw where Quebec had a bad fire in a nursing home and many are missing. That is awful for the elderly not being mobile and can't get out in time. Blessings

Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
yes Patti, it is absolutely horrible about the fire at the nursing home. They think it started in one of the residents rooms. Most in that home were immobile without assistance like walker, wheel chairs. It's a small town so many are elderly relatives. Just very heart breaking. :(
Looks like more snow today but I have to get out in it and do some shopping with family coming in this week. I imagine I'll be out shoveling later. Molly sure wasn't interested in being out long this morning.
Oh believe me, I am a nap person. Even 15 or 30 minutes and then I'm good to go again. :) I learned it from Molly. hahahahaha

We are buried with snow and we are to get another clipper system Monday and then really going down below 0 after that. Tipper is fed up with this weather, but I am already worrying about spring and the thunderstorms. I have all the stuff but nothing really seems to have an affect on her. I would sure hate to give her valium, but this spring it may come to that. I can't let this ruin her eyesight, and make her heart race so I have to be prepared and talk to the vet and have something ready. She has such an allergic history I am afraid to give her valium. I got a place shoveled where the dogs can go potty now, so they aren't up to their waists in snow. Blessings

Not sure what is up with Molly tonight, but she is definitely not feeling good. Normally even in the snow, she will run for the front door, jump the step and hop inside the house. Then get her feet wiped and toweled off, and jump for a glucosimine treat, and when she gets it take off running to her spot in the living room.
Tonight, she walked outside, did 2 potties, walked to the front door, didn't get excited about going inside and wouldn't stand to get her feet cleaned, (sat down when I did her front feet instead of holding them out while standing), barely took her treat, then walked to the closet spot and slowly ate it. I just picked her up and put her on the couch with her daddy, where she isn't even interested in his snack. So definitely Not feeling good at all. I'll keep an eye on her tonight. She's had some runny poops earlier today too, so will have to keep an eye on that, which isn't easy in this cold and snow.
When she doesn't act right, I worry.

Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Of course you worry. That's what we all do when our pups aren't themselves. Hopefully, Molly will be right as rain tomorrow and you'll be left wondering why you were so worried. Do you have any slippery elm bark? If she's got diarrhea or just loose stool, she may have something brewing in her gut and SEB will help. I make the gruel and use a syringe. We'll be keeping fingers and paws crossed that precious Molly feels like her old chipper self real soon.
Re: Molly, 10 yr, shih tzu - lhasa aspo, cushing diagnosis
Hoping Molly is feeling more like herself tomorrow. Will be saying some special prayers for our sweet Molly.
Hugs, Lori

Hoping that Molly was just having an off day, but we all know these dogs so well that we know when something is not right. I hope today she is better and no runny poohs. Blessings
