Buddy, The Mighty Lizard Hunter - Suspected Pituitary Macro Tumor

Stopping by to give you a big cyber (((HUG))) Kathy.

Thank you for the hug John.:)

Mel,
I sent you the video of the little smiler. Check your email:):D let me know what you think.

Thanks babe. I got it but can't open it on my pad.. Gives me a black screen and a video icon with a line in it. Will need to use my computer...

I will try again now. If it should work. I am sending it from my iPad. I have sent about 10 others out with no problem let me try again

I sent the video again. It worked on this side. When you get it on your iPad tap the little video icon and it should come up to view. If that doesn't work hold it down and add it to your photos, then try to open it there. No one else has had a problem.:o

I sent to Trish in New Zealand without any problem. it's certainly should be able to get to London.;)

I dont know why but your comment about the aroma nightmare brought a grin to my face. I could so smell that:)

Patty, it is a gift that we were all brought together, why I could not imagine my life without you all. How is Romeo?

Mel- may I ask where you are going? I can look it up on a map:)

It's my pad not yours. QuickTime error.. I will look on computer first thing. As I do want to see smiler x

Getting a bit sleepy now so will say night in case I fall asleep, will check in when I am up in case you are.

Big hugs

Love
Mel
Xxxxx

There should not be a line through the video icon. This sucks!

Good night now. Please let me know if you were able to see the video.xxxxxx

I will be back prob midnight your time so will defo let you know..

Mel
Xxxxxx

Go to bed Mel. Luv ya! Xxxxx

Ok night xxx

Kathy,
I just watched the video...oh my goodness is that smile not the cutest thing ever!? Buddy's smiling with all the teeth...so, so adorable. We loved seeing him...so glad you sent it.
How have you been holding up? Were you able to eat a little something? I hope so...I know this is just the hardest thing. I keep thinking about you Kathy...
Barbara

Kathy,
I am so very sorry to hear about Buddy. It is so hard to lose them. Every little thing right now sets me off.
I am not good with words like others here but I want you to know you are in my thoughts and prayers.
I hope Scoop has found himself a new "Buddy" to run and play with.
HUGS

Barbara,
I'm not really holding up. I'm just barely holding on. I'm not sure if I'm eating. I might've nibbled on something this morning, but I don't remember. The last 30 or so hours since Buddy passed have been a blur. I'm glad that you enjoyed Buddy's smile video. Xxxxxxx

Your words are perfect Vicki.:) I'm sure Tia has been giving Buddy and Scoop the lay of the land. Big hugs,

Ah man I feel so bad for being gone during all of this... just spent some time reading the many pages of love and sadness. I'm at a total loss for words. I just know you did the right thing because you know your little guy better than anyone. But oh how it tears at the heart. I so understand. I live alone and when I lost Annie she was all I had and while my family didn't understand really - they knew to leave me alone so I could mourn. This forum was a saving grace once again for me.

Know you are loved and part of the family here - Buddy is now with many of our own angels. Haley and Annie spent many years chasing lizards down in Florida when we lived there and I bet money they cornered Buddy already to show him the ropes up there. Not just lizards but food, treats, toys - they got his back.

Meanwhile we got yours. Sending love and strength. Kim

I'm sending the video now Letti. It has worked for everyone but mel. She's going to have to try to see it on her computer because she couldn't get it to work with her iPad. If it doesn't go through and me a message and I'll try it again.xxxx

I have had requests from several members. All have been able to view it so far but Mel.

So I was driving through a small town today and I saw a lady walking a dog, and guess who it looked like? Your precious Buddy, I almost stopped to say hi, but I didn't, it really is true how close we all are with our pups and how they come to our mind so often, still praying!

Letti,
I am going to take a hot bath. I need to feel something. I strained my lower back today moving things around that I shouldn't have been moving by myself. I'll check in after my bath and see if the video came through for you. Please let me know if you are unable to view it.
Xxxxxx

I have to go to my big computer too, got to see your precious angel...

I know you understand Kim. This is the only place I have where anybody does. Xxxxxxxx

Kathy, I would LOVE to see Buddy's smiling video :)
That sounds so adorable! I'll send you my email address in a private message.

I have only known one other dog who smiled when he greeted people. His name was "Barney". It's just something they do and I wonder if they see us doing this and they copy? They're certainly smart enough.

Valerie I'm off to take a bath. Send me your email address address in a PM and I will send you the video soon as I get out. thanks xxxxxx

A hot bath sounds like a good idea Kathy.
Have to go take care of my mother tomorrow...caregiver has the 4th off. I will check back in with you when I return.
I didn't expect you to be holding up really...I know what a heartbreak this is.
Hope you can get a little bit of sleep tonight.
Barbara

Valerie,
You sent me a PM but it doesn't have an email address?:confused: I need one to send you the video. Thx

I did Kathy :) My brain is mush this week.
It can certainly wait until you take your bath.

I sent It Valerie. Let me know if you got it. I'll wait before I get my bath and see.

I have it Kathy. For some reason, I can hear the sound but the picture doesn't show. I will play with various programs to find the compatible one.

I may have to consult with my fiance when he wakes up tomorrow so please don't wait.


Please take your bath :)

AW that is soooo precious, what a total package Buddy is, I bet he is teaching other furbabies to smile in Heaven, good things the treats are never ending!!!! Enjoy your bath hon!!

Valerie, it came through for Letti. I'm going to try to send it to you again now.

Kathy!
OMG! That is the most precious video EVER!!!!! I smiled and laughed.

For anyone who can't get it to play on your Windows PC; download the free Quicktime player http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/

Follow the prompts and if you get an error message about restoring files that may be associated with other programs, click yes.
Then click on file at the top left of your screen with Quicktime open and you can open the video there.

Windows Media player doesn't play movies with .MOV at the end :)

Thank you so much for sharing Kathy :)

I am so glad that it came through for you Valerie. I'm sitting here in the bathtub with my iPad hanging over the edge. I'm going to go ahead and finish my bath now. I am glad that you liked it! Hugs,

Kathy

Valerie,
It is great to know how you got it to work. I will tell Mel if she is still unable to get it to play on her computer. It wasn't coming through on her iPad. You're very welcome Valerie. Buddy was a joy who should be shared.xxxxxx

funny story Kathy. I am a banker/Project Manager by profession, but learning how to use different programs or solving problems like this is fun for me.

I know, "get a life" - LOL
It's no wonder I'm engaged to a Senior Database Analyst :)

He's MILES more geeky than I am.

I'm glad that it worked for you Valerie. Being able to share Buddy through the video is helping me feel a little less alone.xxxx

Awww:) I'm so glad that sharing is helping Kathy :)
What a wonderful tribute to Buddy.

Time for bed. I have a long day of driving tomorrow. Grandpa will be critter sitting for me.

I think that he spoils Daisy when I'm not watching because she's been insisting that he go on walks WITH us lately. If it looks as though he isn't following, she looks behind her and stares at him until he gives in!

I hope that you get some much needed rest tonight.
HUGS

:eek:Grandpa doesn't feed her things that she shouldn't have, does he? You don't need the diarrhea starting up again! Hugs to Miss Daisy. Tell her no more growling and showing her teeth at you, That is not ladylike!:D xxxxx

Grandpa finally understands the seriousness of Cushings and how easy it is to throw Daisy's digestive tract off. He had to clean up copious amounts of diarrhea the last time that I was away :)

Daisy has always had a soft spot for my father. As you know, most dogs recognize good people right away.

She showed her teeth the other night and I let her be. No messes at all in the morning so apparently she really didn't have to go:) The heat has really been bothering her and we've had to lower the Trilo to 5mg twice a day due to lethergy and not eating.

Thankfully, the IMS responds to emails really quickly and she is in full agreement. I just hope that the lower dosage is enough to be effective.
