Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

If you don't take care of yourself, you won't be around to care for your zoo. So, you must just do it. Do it for them! xxxxx

Patti PLEASE look after yourself too, I know how it is, I am very ill as you know and I put Teddy first, and often think, Hang on, I must take care of myself, to be here for him.

So please please do look after yourself too. Love Diana x

I am trying to, this is really hard with the kitty sick now. I have 2 appointments with Tipper and myself tomorrow and if the cat is no better he may have to go to the vets. HE gets stressed out so much form there and I was trying to prevent that. You take care and rest yourself and I pray for good results in January. I am sorry your test was bad, I hate when that happens. Cuddle up with Teddy and give him some kisses from Tipper and I. Your hubby is a real keeper. God Bless you all.

hi patti, I second what the others are all saying. You Have to take care of yourself too, so you can take care of the babies. :)

I know you are juggling a million things and crisis's at the moment, but remember, you are too are one of those things on the list to take care of and I hope you move yourself to the top of that list. You can say Tipper comes first, or one of the others but it is NOT true. They are all dependent on you and just you, therefore, you are 1 and then come the rest. This is not about sacrificing for them or not being as "immediate" of a need, this is about being smart and you are Very smart. They need you to be able to care for them and I know you know that but you are just forgetting how important you really are. :) Stop it! :)
See we love you :)
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Hi Patti yes I have seen that on your post, I have also commented on your post about you looking after yourself too, I know how hard it is when you put your babies first, but you need to get your meds so you can care for them too. They would ask you to, I am sure if they could talk they would say " Mummy please get your meds" wouldn't they? They love you Patti.

I hope Tipper will be OK for her tests, My hubby is a dear, but I have had to kiss a few frogs first you know, and my life has been very hard, Hence all my illnesses now, it is an after effect of the stress and trauma I have had over my 50 years, but now I don't complain much.

God Bless you too Patti, and PLEASE look after you too.

Gosh Patti... you make me tired just thinking about all you do for your babies. It's easier said then done, but you know you have to look after yourself too. Like it was mentioned, without you... they won't make it, so you have to take some time to make sure you are well. Please!!! even for my sake, make sure you are looking after yourself.

HI Patti..
sorry things are going hectic for you. Hope you are squeezing in some naps. You deserve some!

Hello you

Just wondering how you all are since there isn't an update for today? Hope lucky is feeling better and that you managed to get your meds!

Big hugs and kisses to all the fur babies

Hi Mel:
So great to hear from you. I have been wondering how you and Boyce are doing. Unfortunately Lucky is still sick and I have an appointment tomorrow for him. I surely don't need this as Tipper is bankrupting me now. Has works slowed down any? Hope you are taking time for yourself. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Tipper slept well last nite, but some trachea noises. This dog is so darn smart it kills me. She has started putting her feet underneath me when she sleeps so her legs don't shake from the tremors. She also turns and puts them under the pillow to try and stop it. These dogs are amazing. She is a problem solver like her mom! Lucky is a little better this morning. I have kept a steady stream of food in him with a syringe and baby food. I always have it on hand for this reason. I cancelled his vet appt. because my vet is out of town until after Thanksgiving and he is the only one who can draw blood from Lucky, as Lucky gets spastic at the vets. I discussed with them that I will take Lucky to the other practice that has an Xray machine should he turn around and get worse. They thought this was best knowing how Lucky gets, that the stress form the visit can make him even sicker. During all of this I neglected to order chicken for Tipper so I have to run over there today and take care of it. if she runs out I will give her salmon instead. It is dreary here and sprinkling off and on all nite. We are to get lots of snow this weekend, so that will make my Tipper happy, and anything that makes her tail wag at this stage is wonderful. She was really nervous waiting in the waiting room at her laser therapy yesterday. She trembled so much she almost fell off my lap. She knows they do not hurt her, she has just had it with all this already. I hate to take her Monday to the eye DR. but that is so necessary she must go. She will get a break then until January and only go to laser and blood pressure screening. I will hold off on any ACTH or blood work to check the reticulocytes until Jabnuary she needs a mush deserved break from all this before she becomes neurotic. Blessings
