new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

there is a dutch saying that says; no news is good news, and in ian's case it is right. he is doing very well so no complaints on my behalf.
2 dry days in a row! but the rest of the week they forecast rain and wind again.
the flower bulbs are blooming all over the garden overhere. it is spring already.

Wow, flowers blooming. Nothing around here blooming yet that's for sure. We still have snow on the ground and below freezing temps. I think our high temp for wed is suppose to be -11C. brrrrr

Glad to hear that Ian is doing well and you're getting some good walks in.

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

Wow that is a record lately, two dry days! I am glad Ian seems to be doing well, you do not need any new problems or vet bills. We had more snow last nite.
My pussywillow bush does have buds on it though. We are to get that polar vortex coming again tonite. Tipper walked about 5 minutes today as it was too cold. She is fed up with the weather. I miss Grace terribly. Blessings

sharlene and patti, i hope spring will come your way soon!
but there are still flees, ticks and mosquito's etc. around because of the hot winter temp.
there was even a fly in my car buzzing against the window.
i hope you can have longer walks outside with your dogs again. they need it so much.
sleep well everybody!

Wow, woke up to more snow! Going down to 3 degrees tonite. I am taking Tippermto the vets this morning and the roads are really icy. It will be nice to see spring, but then the dreaded thunder will start and I don't know ifmTipper can handle it this year. I am so glad for you that Ian is in a good place now. Tipper is having so many ups and downs lately. This has become a full time job caring for her and taking her to appointments. That is ok though, I need her to be with me and have a good quality of life so it is all necessary. Hope you are having good weather. Blessings

hi patti, i am sorry about the weather continuing bad in your area!
we do have the thunder in summer when there was a hot humid day , seldom in spring.
did the vet give you some tranquilizers today so you can give them to tipper in case she needs them? panicking is not ok for a cushing dog.
i hope ian continues to be ok. today he was playing with some driftwood floating in the river. he has not done that for a long time.
his online whippet cushing friend [female 10] was put to sleep today. she had little calcium balls floating trough her body and her bones were weak because of that. she was losing lots of protein via her urine. that is what i underderstand of it. her adrenal tumor was 1,3 cm.
i know her from her blog and we shared the vetoryl i bought from the internet. $%^&**disease it is!!

Oh I am so sorry that your little whippet is gone. I am sure you are all sad today. Yes Cushing can do a bad thing with the calcium.
So very sorry
Hugs

That is a positive thing that In is doing things that he used to, I am happy he continues on with no problems. That iantoo bad about the whippet, this disease has claimed so many babies in the year. The mortality of your own dog sinks in with each passing baby, and is an very scary thing. We have really cold weather and another snow storm coming. This year it seems never ending. The vet said no tranquilizers for Tipper. I am going to see what else I can research. I need to get this done now before all the storms start. I don't think Tipper can handle it this year, and I am really worried about her blood pressure going up and causing eye problems. Blessings
Patti

another snowstorm? i can understand you and the dogs must be fed up with this weather! it never stops. we had a cold day with rain and wind today.
i really hope you will find anything that helps tipper with her anxiety attacks during thunderstorms.
ian looks a bit off today. i think all the activities yesterday made him tired. he does not want his pills. i will try it later.
he has got a new comforter and he likes it very much.
sleep well everybody.

Oh yes it is storm after storm this winter. I have never seen anything like it. Tipper has really suffered not being able to walk. Tipper was so upset when I got home last nite, she was crying. I think since she has gotten sick and I never leave her and she knows it, that if I have to go out she gets very upset. In think since she is not feeling well, it scares her when she cannot find me, as she knows whatever is wrong with her I always help her. I am taking another easy day today as I am not feeling great. Hope you have decent weather to walk Ian. I hope he just over did himself and that there is noting going to start up with him. Blessings
Patti
