Jasper (12 yr old Mini Schnauzer) is now at peace

It is so funny. I wake up and come on here and wonder what you two have been up to in the middle of the night. You just would not believe the big smile it puts on my face to read you two chattering away at 4am!!!! :D:D

Crimey, horrid fog here to last night and this morning. Hope it clears up some before I have to head to the office. It's wet out there with the snow at that should I freeze or melt stage, so you don't know if you are stepping on wet or ice. I no likeee.
At least it isn't a cyclone!!

Have a great day. No ditch jaunts!

Or sea foam! Check these two out!

This is all foam kicked up by the sea during the storms in Queensland over the last couple of days.

But on a more serious note, Tina, do take some time out from the worry and enjoy some cuddles with Jasper. No point in worrying yourself sick with too much research, I've come to realise that with so many things in life, you only ever hear about what's gone wrong, rarely the successes as we are usually too busy enjoying them to post about it. So give yourself a break, grab a blankie and snuggle on the sofa for a while. :D

Wow Naomi!! You guys have to watch those videos! That car! Holy cow, I had to replay it like 3 times, just came out of no where.

Naomi is right, enjoy some snuggle time! Makes the world seem all better. :)

hugs,
Sharlene

I saw the sea foam video, wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

You guys are having crazy weather!!!!:D:D:D:D

Not on the west coast, here it is just hot (93 today, but 100 again by weekend - Fahrenheit that is) and with bush fires. All the wild weather at the moment is in Queensland and New South Wales, I'm beginning to think I would never live on the east coast! The worst part though is some of the floods that have been happeining over there. We get images of people being rescued from roof tops as the flood waters are lapping at the gutters - yep the floods have completely swallowed some of the houses, others with rivers flowing so fast people are being washed away or boats being ripped form moorings. It's a bit scary.
But Alas, I don't want to hijack Tina's thread.

Hos'w Jasper this morning/evening? (Must remember you are opposite to me :D) And how's Mum?

Isn't that sea foam freaky, never seen anything like that here! Wonder what is in the water to make it foam up like that. We saw the car in the foam on the news last night, so bizarre. NZ is the place to be, we are not getting the terrible heat/fires/floods you are in Australia or the freezeing cold storms of North America. So you are all welcome to come for a visit!!! All we have to watch out for are earthquakes and volcanic eruptions.... but it's hard to find the perfect country :D

Now back to you Tina, sorry to chat about the weather but your thread is such a nice friendly place for a catchup!! Hope your day was good, you must be just about due to wake up for Jasper! Hope he still liking his new food, give him some tripe!! :D See you soon xx

Well, Sharlene, here I am at 4 am again! Shoot, meant to be back in bed by now, but have been getting caught up on a few threads. I have been working a lot of extra hours, (poor Jasper and Shelby :( ), and have been wiped out by the time I get home, so haven't posted for a couple of days. But I have been reading along when I can. It is finally Friday, and then one more week with someone else on vacation and then hopefully things will slow down a bit at work!

You guys can talk about the weather anytime on my thread. :D Holy smokes, those sea foam videos were pretty freaky. I have never seen anything like that either. Some similar footage even made our local news here!

Jasper is hanging in there. He was just out a bit ago for his middle of the night potty break. He was pretty speedy due to the frigid temps, and is now wrapped up in a blanket snoring next to me on the couch!

He got his first dose of Enalapril last night, so I have been keeping a close eye on him. I talked to my vet a bit more yesterday, I will post more about that later.

Lori - thank you so much for all of your information and support. I am sure I will have some questions for you in the coming days. I am sorry you have had to go through these issues also. I appreciate your experience, and any help or tips you can offer. I am hoping to have some time to read some of the files on the canine kidney group this weekend.

Hugs,
Tina and Jasper

Hi Tina

You poor thing, working so hard on top of all the Jasper worries, I am pleased to hear he is OK though, and omg those trips outside in the middle of the night in the cold, do you have little shoes for him to wear so he does not get frostbite?? :D

I am sure he will handle the Enalopril well, I think Ro's dog Chey is taking that too, more for BP I think. Looking forward to hearing what else your vet had to say.

Jeepers hope you got a couple more hours solid sleep before work today!

Trish xx

HI Tina,
Glad the first day on the new meds went well. I can relate to busy at work.. I am hoping Feb. things will get a little better.. busy busy!!

Tina!!! It's the weekend!!!! Yay!!!!

They asked me if I could stay late tonight and after the week this has been there was just no way I was interested in doing that, even for over time.

I need a long soak in a hot bath. So, girls, its the weekend, wine and hot soaks sounds like a plan?

The furbabies can have some good yummy treats while we soak. (I just got molly a local made one, cranberry chia, no wheat, corn or by products, the cinnamon makes it smell so good too)

Hugs all around,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
