Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

Hi Everyone:
Well I think we may be safe, and could we possibly be so lucky that the storm missed us?? The temperature dropped to the 50s what a difference. Tipper is loving this weather. Both dogs enjoyed bubbles on the porch today. It was windy and carried them all over the street, my neighbors were wondering where they were coming from!! Tipper and Toby are napping, and Elvis is busy destroying his new toy. My neighbor comes home tomorrow so my other neighbor will be picking him up. I may have to go to the grocery store for him. That is no problem
as I need some things too. Yikes gas is 4.00 a gallon here!! Hope that is short lived! I am hoping for a quiet not for Tipper. She had gunk in her eyes again this morning so this must be allergies. I am resting with the doggies. Blessings

Hi Patti,

So did the neighbor man find out what was wrong with him since he is able to come home?

Did the pain clinic call you or you them? Horrible how long it is all taking to get an appointment.

i had a mammogram this morning and was on pins and needles because of our experience, but it didn't hurt at all, the lady was very good with that machine. She has done mine before so that was good.

It does sound like Tipper has handled the recent storms fairly well. She must feel comfy in that closet.

Thanks for the recipe!
hugs

Hi Everyone:
Well the storm missed us thank goodness. Tipper fell asleep on the bed and woke up looking around and went in the closet. That is her go to place now, it makes me nervous that she is not with me though. My neighbor man comes home this afternoon. He had a colonoscopy they found a bad vein and repaired it and he is anemic. I will send him some food later and his daughter will come tomorrow for Fathers Day. It is my least favorite day as I truly miss my dad. The pain clinic never called so Monday morning I am calling bright and early, and I will have an appointment. This has been enough fooling around with very uncaring people I might add, so don't know why I even want to go there except there is no others around here. Tipper loves the cooler weather that blew in here. I hope it stays like this. I saw the weather and almost every day next week is thunderstorms. We have to live around these horrible storms! I know several of us were talking about leaving our babies with others and you don't trust anyone, so I just wanted to say I don't either so I have a nanny cam. I see nothing wrong with my dog sitter other than laziness to get away from the tv. I know you would never think I could trust anyone with my Tipper and I don't. God help the person who even thought of doing something wrong to her. The sitter does have her with them at all times and is nice to her and Toby. I know some people do not condone snooping, but this is Tipper so all bets are off where she is concerned. I am making some potato salad for the weekend so I don't have to mess with food too much. I will send some food over to my elderly neighbor as he told me he had not gone shopping. When you first get out of the hospital who feels like running to the grocery store?? I will get him what he needs this week when I go. Blessings
Patti

Good morning Patti.
I can't believe the pain clinic hasn't called you. Have you talked to your doctor's office to see if they even sent a referral over? Could be your doctor. My doctor that I've used for about 17 years just closed his office in April. Left all us patients high and dry. I got a letter last week that said when you find another doctor they will forward my records. Did not even recommend anyone, just said to go fine your own doctor. I was pissed. Seems the doctors these days are just in practice for the money.

Tipper reminds me so much of Tia. She tolerated all noises except thunder storms. Strange little creatures they are! And I think it is awesome that you have nanny cam for you babies. All pet parents should have one. I don't trust anyone with my babies either. I was keeping my daughters 5 pound BLIND shih tzu for a few months when she moved once and our youngest son had some friends over and they were being mean to her and making fun of her. I was so hurt and furious with my on child for allowing this to happen. He and all the boys got their asses chewed out and shamed beyond belief.

Glad the neighbor man is getting out of the hospital, and that you don't have to go get him. Some people are getting as bad as doctors in that they don't care what problems you've got going on. You are expected to drop everything and jump when they need something. Shame...

The weather here is beautiful and I'm praying for some continued beautiful weather for Tipper. When the neighbors are shooting fireworks off, when turned the tv up a little louder, made sure the ac was on, turned the fans on a stand on high and since we have hurricanes and the power goes out sometimes, we bought two window ac units that we can plug into the generator, we turn those on too. Just made more noise in the house so Tia couldn't really hear the fireworks. Oh the things we will do for our furchildren!!

Sending love and prayers,
Donna

Hi Everyone:
Well the potato salad is over with so on to other things now. Donna the pain clinic never called me. By the time they do I probably will be so used to this pain I won't need them!! I am calling Monday anyway, first thing in the morning. Tipper and Toby are enjoying the day as they love it when it is cool out. I am going to play ball and do bubbles with them. I haven't even had an opportunity to get my summer clothes out fully. I have just sufficed with a few outfits so I think I will do that later while Tipper is not occupying the closet and wanting me to get out of her space. Yes I never leave my girl with anyone. My dad used to always be my dog sitter when he was here, and I had someone I could trust. Donna one time I used to have a toy poodle, and took her to a groomer who gave fantastic hair cuts in her home. After a few years of using her, one day I was early, and was walking up the sidewalk and heard her and her helper yelling at a dog. I stood still for a few minutes and heard them hitting this dog and daring it to bite them again!! I almost lost my mind. They got my dog, I threw the money on the counter and walked out without a word, as I would have decked someone. I looked at the dog they were grooming which was a tiny poodle and it made me want to vomit knowing I had subjected my baby to them. So seemingly the nicest people that you think are pet friendly are not! I trust no one, even at the vets with my Tipper. Lord help anyone that would harm a hair on her, they would not live to tell the story. That is awful those friends did that to that poor dog. I know when kids get in with others they can do things they normally would not do. There was a man awaiting sentencing near here for killing his dog with a hammer because he no longer wanted him. He is in jail over it right now. Still the laws let people off so easy. Wish we could force change. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well Tipper wants outside to break up a Blue jay fight. Four blue jays against one starling! Tipper is watching out the window and her tail is going and that means she wants to mix it up a bit with them all. Poor starling has had enough just trying to get a bite to eat and got mobbed. Well I guess it was too good to be true sending my neighbor to get the other neighbor!!! The one going to pick up the other just called me and said he is going to have to stay there for a couple hours they are starting medicine in an IV. Now why did someone not say this before I sent him there. He sounded disgusted and sorry her went. This will no doubt take up his day which he had not planned and told me so!! Oh well I will make him a cake or something and he will have to get over it. I am glad it was not me, as Tipper would have had a fit waiting with me that long. So glad I did not go to get him! The dogs have played ball, and we are going to do bubbles soon. JoAnn you have to try bubbles with Eli I bet he would love them. Sharlene you have to get Molly some too. If the senior citizens do not make it home soon one may have to splurge for dinner! Blessings
Patti

Hi Everyone:
Just had a bubble session with the dogs. They are loving this cooler weather. My neighbor called and he has still not left the hospital. The guy I sent to get him is probably furious with me, I do feel really bad. He has been there 7 hours now!!! Does anyone have any experience with their dog having the paper thin skin and surgery? I keep thinking how thin Tipper's skin is and I hope this surgery will not bring her any healing problems and start anything??? Blessings
Patti

still no call from the pain clinic.....tell them you will send me, that will scare them!
i would be scared of surgery too.
is it really necessary? do they bother tipper?
i have no experience with them.
ian's skin recovered very fast from the 2 mean hotspots he has had, so i hope tipper's skin will heal fast too.
do you still get updates from grace and delora's cat?
hope you will have a lazy sunday.

Hi Everyone:
My elderly neighbor finally made it home! My other neighbor I got to pick him up was steaming when they got home 8 hours later. He said he was hungry and tired and is never doing it again!! I feel bad as I am the one who set it up. Too bad my elderly neighbor told him to be there 8 hours before he was discharged!! I think I would have gotten disgusted waiting 8 hours for someone too. The dogs have walked already. I have really been trying to pay attention to any bugs going around them as the mosquitoes are carrying some new disease that is really bad. We do not go to early and I never let them out after dusk except to potty. Tipper does not need any more issues! She is white and they would probably go for her right away. I took over some food for my neighbor. He is kind of frail after a week in the hospital. I will shop next week for him when I go. Tipper went in the closet again, so I assume this will be an every nite thing. I cannot see the tremors and that is good and bad as I like to keep track of what is going on with her. It is getting close to mating season for Elvis and he has been strutting his feather and pinning his eyes. Not a good sign to put your hand in his cage. He was very lonely yesterday, but I was not taking him out and getting a bite. His hormones are going wacky now I guess and he is aggressive, so I will give him his space. Toby is so spoiled with the bubbles that I have to get some more or else just pour some dish soap in these. He barks at you until you blow bubbles for him. I am going to take them to the llamas today. I wish all the men on the forum a Happy Father's Day and all of you ladies with hubbies, and dads, hope they have a good day too. Spend time with your dad today if possible it is a blessing.
Patti

Patti, you do so much for those around you. It's time for their families to step up. You have much to much going on and I worry that you'll overload.

Best to give Elvis his space, I agree since birds can really do damage and are stronger than they look.

I know that you're missing your father. He is watching over you.
