It is a hormone mostly produced when we sleep at night...Quote:

Hi Everyone:
Well Tipper will not be tested Wednesday. The IMS assistant called and said she had a death in the family. We had to reschedule for next Wednesday, and they coordinated the eye Dr. and canceled the previous appointment. I told her to leave enough time for the US because if the IMS is late in traffic I do not want the eye Dr. ripping into me like last time. She said they would be responsible for that. She also said she has experience with the eye Drs. Temper and laughed. I understand, but am disappointed as I want this over with. Last nite I just layer there thinking about it and worrying, no we have another week of this!!. Then I got the order from Diamondback and again, it was a double order, split in half and two shipping charges. That really burns me. The time before it was a double
order too. So this time she told me to keep it and they would give me credit on
my card for it. I cant afford one order yet alone two! You will love this one Sharlene, Tipper is holding her front paw up and not walking on it. I guess Trixie and Molly called her today and passed the word to make your mom worry! She is doing it off and on, not all the time. I think she jumped off the bed and hurt herself again when I was in the bathroom. Normally she just follows me into the
bathroom. I guess that's it, I cant use the bathroom anymore!! This is really narrowing things down! Blessings

Oh my God Patty I can't believe all these dogs are having their issues with the front leg that is just crazy. Molly did hers jumping up that seems like most the time it happens jumping down which makes sense. I'm sorry you have to wait to get the testing done till next week I know it's a real worry whenever I could think about is what's going on inside of them. Yes I can see how not be over to go the bathroom would be very limiting and your lifestyle.
Hugs

Hi Everyone:
Tipper was in and out of the closet last nite, as it rained and she was anticipating thunder. She was uncomfortable, but by no means frantic like when it gets bad out. Also she is having breathing issues at nite, I can hear her making noises again, and more struggling to get air. Sometimes it sounds like the noise is coming from her nose, and sometimes her throat. She did have a bad episode last nite with her trachea collapsing. She immediately panics and goes crazy knowing she cannot get air, I guess anyone would! She vets Adequan next week so as much as I do not want to do it, she may need two shots a month instead of one. We are having a lazy day as it is raining still and dreary out. I am not feeling my best so I will rest and maybe clean the laundry room this afternoon. Blessings
Patti
Oh how scary when the trachea problems occur. :(
Rest is good. Taking it slow is good. :)

Hi Everyone:
I finished the laundry room today even though I was going to rest. So one more room done. I cooked a roast beef dinner and took some to my elderly neighbor. It is his favorite, he loves mashed potatoes and gravy. Tipper was acting nervous today as it kept raining, but it has stopped and she is on alert to see if it starts. She is more nervous of course when her cortisol is lower. I am glad she gets Adequan next week, she is having a lot of noise going on from the trachea. I am tired and plan on resting the remainder of the nite with my babies. Tomorrow is blood pressure for Tipper so we will be up and out early. The temperature dropped and it will be 36 tonite. I heard it was snowing in Ontario! Blessings
Patti
Snowing in Ontario??!!!:eek::eek:
Not here thank goodness!! Judi? I haven't seen her saying anything about it and I'm pretty sure she would if it dares to snow up at her place again. Maybe they meant west or northern Ontario. I don't put anything past Thunder Bay or Sault Saint Marie area.
Good for you to enjoy a nice peaceful night with the furbabies.

i am back after 3 days without internet. my pc was at the pc doctor.
it is fixed now, but i am not too happy with vista so far. i miss my w-xp.........
i am sorry that you will have to wait another week for tipper's us.
hope you have finished your spring cleaning?
Don't tell me Tipper also has hurt her leg again! What's going on with these pups? I hope she's okay and having a good night. So, so nice of you to take care of your elderly neighbors like you do...you should have a lot of good Karma built up. Hey, that reminds me of Karma the cat on the fund raising site! I wish there was some follow-up on that cat I would love to know how that little sweetie is doing.
Going to get pretty chilly here overnight and tomorrow, bet you had some of that today.

Patti, hopefully rest will do all of you some good and Tipper's paw will improve. Rained here all day and thankfully,Daisy isn't bothered by it.
