Oh I bet the crew loved playing with the bubbles. They sure do love those kinds of things.
Awww, poor Tipper, now even the mower bothers her. :( That is sad, it must feel so stressful to her all the time.
Lucky needs some lovin. :) Where do they sleep at night? The cats and Toby? I am guessing they can't be in the bedroom with you.

Patti,
Tia got like that too. Every little noise scared her and she would jump and run. It broke my heart.
Have you tried putting a night light in the closet so that when Tipper goes in there, you can peek in and see her but not wake her? Just a thought.
Keeping you all in my prayers.

Hi Everyone:
Well the dogs have already walked twice before we are to get hot temps. So at least they got their exercise in already. Tipper has ben wanting up at 5:30 am and it is a little too early for me. I am looking out my office window as I type this at a Bluejay he is so beautiful but so mean to the other birds chasing them away from the feeder. When I put Elvis by the window to see them, he is ok with all the birds except the Bluejay. I don't know if it is his size or attitude that threatens Elvis, but Elvis always turns away from him and won't look at him! Tipper got off the bed and slept in the closet again. This is going to be an all summer thing I am afraid. I do not like not being able to see and hear her, in the event of trouble, but I have to let her be comfortable and feel secure to sleep. I am taking the babies to see the llamas today while it is cool out. I hope everyone has a good weekend with the babies. I am doing a special prayer for Daisy at 12:00 noon so if anyone wants to join in we will be all thinking of her together. Blessings

That sounds like a good day planned for Tipper and Toby. I'm sure they'll love getting out to see the lhamas.

Thank you Patti that is so sweet of you!
Still waiting on blood tests to hopefully rule out Hypoparathyroidism.
Elvis is a good judge of character, blue jays are as nasty as they are beautiful. It's sad that they behave the way that they do.
Cornell is busy as always on the weekends since they are only one of three 24/7 veterinary practices on the state of CT.
Hi Everyone:
The doggies got to see the llamas today. We couldn't stay long as it was really
heating up and where you have to park along the road the sun was facing us. It got too hot and both dogs started to pant. We passed the ice cream place we used to stop at for a frozen treat for Tipper and Toby, when Tipper was well. I am to afraid to give her some now. I put yogurt in her Kong and freeze it so that will have to do. She has not seemed as congested on the antibiotic, so possibly she did have a sinus infection?? My elderly neighbor, the one who watched Deloras cat is sick again. I took him some supper to eat and his daughter is coming to take him to the Dr. He has had this whatever it is three times now in the last few months. Tomorrow is storm day so Tipper will not be happy. The dogs are both napping. Tipper was up at 5am! I think we all need a little rest. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well Addy is going to be really disappointed. Sorry it was not California Chrome, what a shame. Tipper is having a lick a thon, which I hope stops soon. My neighbors daughter just called, he is being hospitalized for internal bleeding. My neighbors are dropping like flies, this is horrible. When and if he is released, she asked if I could get him. Hmmm this will require employing the dog sitter again as I cannot take Tipper and not Toby. Watch just my luck it will be the day I get an appointment at the pain clinic!! If that miracle ever happens! His grandson is at his house, and has nothing to eat, so I took him to McDonalds and he will wait
there for his mom. I hope this turns out OK he is a nice old man. Blessings

Patti, your neighbor's daughter needs to take a day off to get him home. I'm sorry but to inconvenience you so that you have to get a dog sitter is not right. They are taking advantage of your good nature dear.
I wouldn't want the responsibility of picking him up because what if he fell outside on the way to your car or something? His daughter must make the time.
Daisy loves bubbles too! :)
Patti,
Tia used to sleep in the bed with me too, but for some reason she got to where she wanted down when we'd put her there at night. I put her bed under our bed on my side and that's where she slept the last year. Broke my heart cause she always slept by my legs and I couldn't understand why she just all of a sudden stopped.
Hey, I'm with Valerie on this neighbor thing, the daughter should take of her of her own father. If he were to fall, how would you be able to get him up without hurting yourself? It's just not right to inconvenience you even if he is a sweet old man.
Anyway, glad the pups had fun seeing the llamas. Take care and I'm thinking about you all.
Sending love,
Donna
Hi Everyone:
Yes I have to admit Valerie, I did not want to be in the position to go and get her dad, but she is just starting a new job on Monday and , will not be able to take off work. I will see what I can work out with the dogs. I never leave Tipper so if all else fails both would have to go. maybe they will get him a mini bus home as he is a veteran and at the VA hospital and they have transportation sometimes. last nite his daughter called and said he is losing blood somewhere and may need exploratory surgery on his abdomen. So I think he will be there a few days if not more. Tipper got up last nite and went in the closet again. I have been unable to observe her sleeping a lot, but what I have seen looks like she is not making congested sounds so I am wondering what was going on that this antibiotic helped?? We are to get that storm today so I am watching the weather and sky to dose her before this starts. I hope she is not allergic or my vet will be getting an emergency call on his cell phone. If he doesn't answer that I found his home phone in an old phone directory, he does not list it now. I keep it for emergencies only, as one time when I took her to the hospital for an emergency he would not pick up on the cell phone, so I am wise to that trick. It is cool here, but is supposed to heat up this afternoon. I have some laundry and cleaning to take care of and so not feel like it. I am going to play ball with Tipper for a while as she seems to have good energy today. She really has few problems with the exception of these storms. She ahs been very calm the last few days, so I don't want to ruin it today with thunder. She is just getting to where she is not on high alert all day. I am anticipating a low pre number when she gets her ACTH test in July. I can tell she is down there with the cortisol. Her legs are still feeling good though thanks to the laser therapy as she has been trying to do her Jack Russell jumps, but I get to her and stop her. If they were bothering her from the low cortisol she would not be doing that, but her laser therapy has really saved her. Where her back is bowed down she no longer tenses up when I massage her there so I know it has helped her there too. Sounds like a nutty question, but I am wondering if it would ever revitalize her cells in her trachea?? I am going to ask as I am not embarrassed of sounding crazy when it may help my dog?? Donna I am going to try the nite lite as you suggested.
Blessings
