Happy to read this!
Please enjoy days like this!
Treating a disease when no happy moments exist is a disease not worth fighting against...
Hi Patti! Just checking on you and Tipper. Sounds like you had a good weekend for the most part. :D Eli is starting to run me up and down to pee every couple of hours. I'm starting to think it's about that time again.....as you and Marianne said. ....I thought he might go a couple of months, at least drug free. I guess not.
I hope the AB are working for Tipper. I hope that will be the "cure" for her immediate ills for now anyway. :D
Hi Everyone:
Yes I love the good days Tipper has. She was mischievous yesterday, getting into all her toys and dragging them all over, throwing ones up in the air, and wrestling with others. I did notice however when bathing her she was moaning a bit as I washed her. Her skin is so paper thin, don't know if that is the reason, could be as instead of massaging muscle, skin, and fat, it is just thin skin on top of bone. Maybe rubbing hurts in that situation even though I was very gentle with her. I think back when she loved a bath. Now she dreads it. I happened to look at a picture of her in my old house on the back of the sofa looking out the window was her favorite spot. From seeing her so boney now she looked fat to me in the picture even though she weighed almost 2 pounds less than now. It was obviously all the muscle etc. making it appear this way to me since it has been so long since I have seen her like that in person. It did upset me greatly seeing how she once was so muscular and strong. We are on day three of the antibiotic. I do not know if it is working as she senses the impending storms coming and got off the bed, went into her crate, then decided to sleep in the closet after all. So I could not hear her breathing or noises she makes. I am hoping this storm stuff for four days passes us. We got to the vet Wednesday for Adequan and blood pressure, if it is storming maybe her will give her something there? Other than these storms she is outwardly doing good, still going on the porch, and generally enjoying her day. I try to put out of my mind what is going on inside her and I am living in my denial bubble for a while. I am sure you have all been there. Delora is having a blood transfusion this week, I guess due to all the bleeding she has done for 7 months now. She does not understand why, so she was not able to explain to me what is going on. She is never told the truth, that is the biggest problem. I am going to be giving Tipper some herbs today when this storm gets closer. I had the dogs in the yard last nite, some of my beautiful Rose Azaleas did not make it thru this brutal winter, so I have to dig them out. Always stuff around here that needs done! Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well the storms blew in and thundered like crazy. I had given Tipper herbs and she ran to the closet. I turned the TV up and put the fan in the closet and shut the door as far as possible. It has been over for almost an hour and she is not coming out. I do not hear her panting, so I think she is staying in there in case it starts again. Thank God for this walk in closet. I have so much stuff in it it should be sound proof! The sun is out now, but no telling what this weather will do. I am just acting normal and talking to Toby to see if she will come out. Toby went out during the storm, he wanted on the porch. He is not bothered by anything, that would be horrible with two being scared! I whizzed around here and cleaned the house today to get it out of the way. I had a friend call and said she may drop in with her dad for Fathers Day. I really hope not, that is an extremely bad day for me always, and really would rather be alone on that day. Wish she would just come another day. Blessings
Patti
i hope the storm is over now.
as long as she is feeling safe in the closet, i think it helps her survive the storms.
just let her decide when she feels safe enough to come out of the closet.
and when she does do not pay extra attention to her.
act as normal as possible. give her the idea that a storm is just a part of the daily routine.
maybe you can postpone your vet visit a few days till the storms are over.
driving in a storm and a vet visit sounds like double stress for you and tipper.
but maybe the storms will miss your area this time. that would be great!
Iris:
I know two stressors are not good. I may cancel after seeing the weather report
tomorrow. If it changes I will go as Tipper needs her Adequan. Blessings
Patti
Hi Everyone:
Well Tipper came out of the closet, so I said let's get your teeth brushed as she likes the poultry flavored toothpaste! She was ready so we brushed her teeth! I just acted normal like nothing was wrong. She is resting on my bed now snoring. I hate to say it but, it is threatening to start again. All I can do now is put the fan on and the TV up. I have been praying for these storms to go away. Please all pray for Daisy Mae.
Patti
We are all pulling hard for Daisy Mae. She is a fighter and I do hope she can beat this thing.
Hope the storms aren't too bad, or not at all would be even better. She must be calmed down if she was ready for a tooth brushing. :)

Patti,
I think about Tipper when it rains here too. I know she gets panicky just as bad as Tia did. Sounds like the herbs are working though and the walk-in closet is a great idea too. Take care.
Much love and prayers,
Donna
