Zoe By My Side- Our Journey with Cushings

lol you and trish are making me smile....came here to make YOU smile. I can just you going along in this wagon and here comes trish and jumps on, then hears about where the wagon is going and she is like oh noooooo i bailing. LOL
so i will tell you funny story about what happened to me this evening....I was at a clients house....(i am pet sitter) they live very rural area, very forresty area....its like a scene from a scary movie at nite out there all by myself (except of course for all the babies!!!) house is up on posts so when anything touches the wrap around porch it can startle you, all the curtains are sheer in the house. i was getting ready to go, tuck all the babies in for nite, was telling the out door babies nite and giving treat, and an owl hoots so LOUD nearly came outta my skin....then i look out towards barn and OF COURSE i think i see something....trying to walk my car, hit my key fob to get lights on, and the front window roll half way down!!!!!!!!!!! OMG owl behind me, shadows at barn and the car windows roll down......i could have never made it up the steps into the house let alone get doors unlocked, and i know myself well enough i would flip every light switch on in the place trying to make myself feel better and then sneak (like i couldnt been seen with all the lights on up to a window with sheer curtain!) to a window, all the while getting all the inside babies excited. We would have all had our noses at the window sill. AND my cell phone gets no towers out there. LONG LONG drive way to a road that is hills and narrow and DARK to turn and travel down another road that is DARK to turn down another narrow dark curvey road. I was so glad to make to it home. Tell my husband...he goes to google...hmmm what do you know....kind of car i have, few know the feature exsits, hit unlock, hit it again and hold it, makes car windows roll down. I told him i was going to go change my pants and he could finish reading the article to me. LOL (hope you smiled) sending you hugs. many many hugs.

Wow, you are all full of adventures tonight. Addy's battling doctors and insurance companies, Skye battling barn owls and scary sounds, Trish just wants off the darn wagon. LOL It's a riot!

I was thinking about Zoe and the peeing, and wondering if when she goes for a walk if she has to pee lots and lots of times? And you mentioned 3. Well, mornings or afternoon walks, 3 wouldn't do it for molly. She is all alpha and sometimes needs 5 or even more to get it all out and mark her territory, let the other dogs know she's been by. Those dogs, they don't get rid of all their urine in one go, so they hold it and hold it and if they don't get it out, then yep, accidents in the house. Molly same way and it's a bugger when we have bad weather. Had an accident in our house today, first time in a very long time, and I know it's because she doesn't get good walks and potty spots like she does at other times. (and now we have black or shiny thin ice so we don't try to go far).

Just a thought, but combine that with a surgery and it could be part of the reason at least.

hugs,
Sharlene

Yes , Skye you did make me smile:) Quite an adventure:) We have a owl sits in our trees sometimes in the far back yard and has scared me half to death late at night with his noise.:o

Sharlene, yes that could be part of it, toally agree, Zoe is just like Molly in the lots of smelling and peeing, but why more frequent trips to take sips of water? She did not do that before the surgery.

IMS is not in today and I have to go sit a motor vehicle dpet to renew my drivers license. In Milwaukee, that can take half a day:(

.

These vets seem to have a knack of not being there when we could do with talking to them

Queuing for things will no doubt make you feel tons better, not!!!

I do not know a lot about the medical side of everything but from reading through Zoe has been through a lot could it just be her systems way of cleaning itself out?

Thanks for the hug on Tia's thread, sending you one back and a sloppy kiss for Zoe

Mel and Tia xxx

Hey ya Addy,
Is KoKo drinking a bit more too? In the winter, in a house with the heater running, the air feels drier and can make them more thirsty. Have you ever noticed this?

Ugh, license renewing and wait, wait, wait, not a fun way to spend the day.
Maybe call the IMS tomorrow?

hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin

I know, I just want a needle draw next week set up to recheck for ua and protein. If no one calls me back, I'll just insist on it Thursday when we are there and I don't care if they don't have time, they will have to make time.

I'm on a roll, just told insurance company I will not be forced to take a drug I have side effects from and I will not accept what they are doing. They subsequently back peddled this morning and approved my Beconase Nasal spray. I told them they have a lot of nerve anyway, I have such a high deductible, I pay for it, they don't. Anyway I can go get it today finally after a week of fooling around and then all this sinus pain will go away:D:D:D All this drama over an allergy medication, I cant believe it. You would think it was some
$50,000 cancer drug.

I feel better already:D:D:D:p:p

Lesson to be learned- don't take no @@##@ firm ANYONE:D:D:

Good to hear you won the battle!!

Sometimes little things can empower us. Hope Zoe is having a good accident free day today

Xx

whoot whoot!!! you get'em girl!!!! dont people know not to mess with a pet momma that is stressed. We mean business and do not stand in the way of a pet momma who is concerned about her baby. Nothing to big or small will get in our way!!!! ((((((((((((((((hugs)))))))))))))))
with me....I shoot from the hip as the saying goes. lol. No one ever has to wonder what is on my mind or what I am thinking or what i think of situation. lol. sometimes that isnt so good but what way is always good?
your being reasonable......you have concern, with good reason, and you need answers. Their the doctors! the ones paid...to figure out the answers. You would think they would be calling us and knocking on our doors making sure all is well. Stand strong beautiful.........sending you hugs.

People should definetely not mess with a stressed out pet mama, Skye, I cracked up over that but it is true:D:D:D:D

I ran out today so Zoe would have her usual down time in the kitchen with Koko - to keep their routine even though I am off work today- found two cute pet beds on sale so they are both cuddling on their new beds, awwwww:D:D:D:D

Now I am off to DMV for my drivers license, hope I pass the vision test:eek::eek::rolleyes:;)

Haha yep don't mess with the Mama!! I hope noone at the DVS takes you on today, give that girl her license... PRONTO :D:D:D

Sharlene has some very good points about the marking/weather, also its probably feeling quite prickly down there with all the healing going on. I remember when Flynn was recovering from surgery I noted a few episodes when he would leak a bit. He would have been for a walk, peed a bit but I think it was really a bit too much effort for him on some of those days so he did not empty out as much as he would usually and as Sharlene said they do like to hold onto a bit in case something important needs marking so with all that combined, especially with the location of Zoe's surgery it is probably not too much of a concern at this stage having a few accidents!! I guess it is kind of hard to meaure her water with Koko about, so cool to hear about them playing and messing about though!!

Might see you on later today, it's Saturday morning here now and my project I have been procrastinating over for weeks MUST be in final draft stage by work Monday!! So I will be at computer most of weekend lucky I have a quiet one planned... dreaming of the wagon though :D
