Good morning Patti.
So happy Tipper is doing good. Tia also got dry mouth when taking her "storm meds" too. Her tongue ways stuck out a bit and would get really hard, so I would just wet it a little bit.
No fire works last night!! I hope he at least waits until the fourth to do it again. We can take the babies and leave the house for a while if he does it that night.
Take care.
Donna

Oh what a terrible man if he continues to upset everyone. I will do that with Tipper then I knew her mouth seemed all dry and she has a hard time with her tongue like you said. I will have to ask the vet what about that drug causes that. It is dark here to day and we are to have storms all week. That is a good idea to take everyone away on the fourth, I would not give him the satisfaction of upsetting my dogs. Some people. Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well I just took Tipper outside and she put the brakes on and would not go out the door. I assume the barometric pressure is changing and she can feel we are in for a storm. There are so many bugs and gnats etc. from all this wet weather, they attack my legs as soon as I go outside. The top of my front porch in closed off and I saw some bees going in a hole, lots of bees. I looked up in there and they have a nest. I do not want them ruining the wood up there, so I plugged the hole shut. Now we will not be able to go on the porch for a while as they are all out there swarming and angry as they cannot get in to go to their hive. I definitely do not want Tipper stung as she is so allergic to everything, so she will not be out there until they make up their minds to relocate. I guess the queen is stuck up there in the nest, and I do not want to kill her, but that is all I can do. Tipper is having some heavy, noisy breathing today. I wonder if it is the humidity? It is very hot and humid out so I expect some thunder and lightening with this next storm. I just called and ordered more meds for Tipper as I do not want to run out and be caught with nothing. All I can say is I am so glad for air conditioning as Tipper could not make it without. Hope Sharlene is seeing some whales!! Blessings

Hi Everyone:
Well Tipper is puzzling me today. She was acting kind of afraid of something, then went in the closet and stayed for a while. I thought maybe she was sensing the impending storm, it passed us, so don't know what the problem was. She was also doing some panting, don't know if it is nervous panting or when the air shuts off and she feels stuffy. She is also drinking more water than usual. Something's make me feel she is low, and then others that she is high. She is definitely giving me mixed signals. She has her ACTH soon so that will tell the tale. It is too stinking hot out for her, maybe that's what all this is about. Both dogs are passed out already. I could not go see Delora so I called to tell her I would come tomorrow, and the poor thing is having trouble hearing anything. I was screaming into the phone and she could not hear me. This will make things bad for her as I try to call her once a day as I know how lonely she is. I cannot run over there more than once a week because I must have someone watch Tipper. I will not be able to call her if she cannot hear. I feel bad for her, and I have always helped her out. Too bad she only had the one child, and he turned out to be her biggest nemesis. Blessings

Hi Patti how are you doing, poor Delora, but as you say it isn't easy seeing her when you need someone to sit with Tipper, all these strorms sound awful. It is humid here but no storms, Teddy is doing OK. Like your dear sweet Tipper, they are both such fighters aren't they.
Hugs and Kisses to you both xxx
i hope all the storms will pass you and that the temp. will drop.
maybe tipper misses her walks during the day and that makes her restless and makes her panting?
do you ever walk during night time?
i love it. but i was a bat in my former life i guess....
watch out for the bees when they are angry!
p.s. this is my 555th post!

Do you have a lottery over there? If you do you should go play that number.
Hi Everyone:
Don't know as I will make it today to see Delora if the weather turns bad before noon I will not go as I need the sitter here with Tipper, but never would I leave when a storm is coming. We are to get tornado weather according to the weatherman last nite. It is coming across from the west. I need to time Tipper's pill right. She seems on alert and ansy this morning maybe it is closer than thought. It is getting a little stuffy in the house so maybe that is why the panting. I am trying not to runt he air conditioner 24/7 as the bill will be astronomical, but need to keep her comfortable. She is so much more intolerant of the heat than last year even. I did walk them, but the humidity and heat is up to 90 something so she was not too comfy walking this morning. Tomorrow is Adequan day and blood pressure so that will take up the morning. I have to go do battle with that stupid ice maker again! Blessings
Patti
Daisy was the same way with the heat and worse with humidity.
I'm sure that Tipper's problem.
You're very brave dealing with bees! I'm afraid of them.
I wonder why Deplorable is losing her hearing? Poor lady. Does her son even visit her?
Oh Patti,
We will cross all fingers and paws that you don't get tornado weather today. Poor Tipper - my stomach is in knots for her just thinking about it. Stay safe and we're hoping that Tipper rests comfortably through the storm with her pill and you by her side.
