Ha, of course fancy dress is a costume party!!
Chuffed, we say that here too :D:D Meaning very happy, delighted etc! I am wondering what you wore to fancy dress on New Year's??
I am very chuffed to hear that Zoe's heiny is growing hair again and that she is playing (annoying) Koko :D:D:D
Lol, we did not go to any of the establishments. We had a quiet dinner in a small pub, then later in the evening walked around the town. When we saw people dressed in costumes, walking about, we realized our error:D:o
I think it is so fabulous that we can get to know people in other parts of the world here on our forum. Heck, I even got to know someone in Turkey thanks to Glynda's tip about sweaters for girl dogs on Etsy!!! The shopkeeper even named a sweater after Zoe:):)
I just love our family. Sniff, sniff. So now, Trish, I have to go read about the history of New Zealand. I am loving Australia and New Zealand. A new part of the world for me. I'm chuffed:)
I love our family here too Addy!!! I love history, didn't at school but I do now and love hearing about where everyone come's from.
Has there ever been a K9C get together? When I first got into the internet in the late 90's I got addicted to a trivia game, after a year or so all the regulars decided to meet and we got together in California, what a blast it was to meet all those people I had been chatting with for ages! My family thought I was mad and and would be killed by an axe murderer for sure.... but off I went and had the best time, everyone was just like I imagined and we had a fabulous time meeting up. I am in still in contact with a couple of them all these years later :D
Chuffed is string here too, then again, I work in an environment where all but one of our administration staff are English, so it's no wonder. We have a large English contingent in Perth, with an ever growing Irish group too (as close as my neighbours). The words I get, sometimes it's the thick accents i stumble on, of course with the written words here, that isn't an issue :D
So yes, Chuffed is definitely a good thing, as is stoked. And fancy dress to me is costume, whereas we just go straight for Formal if we want people to dress their best. Of course, these days Formal now pretty much means black tie event.
I love the language barrier thing, though half the time I find myself here writing "mom" not "mum". We use the later, not the former.:p
But yes, I too am stoked that Zoe is doing so well.
I am absolutely holding my breath because I am so worried this wont be but Zoe is down to 1/2 raw turkey patty per day, increased Zeal to 1 cup per day, poos are pretty good most of the time, usually brown unless she eats something outside. She gets a bigger 1/4 piece of metronidazole very other day, a smaller piece in between. I'm going to go pick up some Honest Kitchen LOVE since the Keen did not work. I only need to replace 70 calories to finish getting rid of the last of the raw food. It is so such a slow go with the diet but always has been.
But most importantly and this is what I am holding my breath about- she is growing hair on her neck where her growth was removed last summer, there is a tuft of hair coming from the scar. Her shoulder blades have been bare for a while now but hair is starting to slowly fill in. She is trying so hard to grow new hair but she has so much to grow.
After all of this and the old IMS saying it was her intermediate hormones causing her hair loss, she is now trying to grow hair. When I started treating her skin, her hair got really bad and she was almost bald but now hair is trying to grow. Do I dare even hope?
She never chews her paws any more, stopped last October, even when they are wet, she does not chew them, I thought she might start again in Spring but she did not.
Some days I think I wish I would have waited to treat her, her blood work and symptoms were not that bad when we started this journey but it seemed like every four months or so, I would see another symptom get worse. I waited a year as it was. I was so worried she would end up with diabetes or Sards.
Just musing, I guess. well, no more arm chair quarter back. It just has been a very long two years. She loves having her ears cleaned.:D:D:D I laugh at the look on her face. The other day, I was looking through an old journal for a writing about Kate to share with her on her graduation day. I found an entry I wrote in 2010 to Zoe.
Every book I read, I read for you
Every battle I fight, I fight for you.
Because I love you so.
That's my girl and as hard as this has been, it has made our bond even stronger.
It is graduation weekend, signing off for now.:):) I look forward to celebrating with my other "little girl".;)
Oh have a wonderful weekend Addy. Congratulations to Kate. I think that is a wonderful writing.
Wow, Zoe, that is amazing Addy. All that hair trying to come back in, is just fabulous. I'll hold my breath with you. Diet good, check, hair coming back, check, tried to roll around on her back, check, bugging Koko, check. That is an awful lot of checks for Zoe and all on the good side.
Enjoy your weekend, I'm sure it will be quite wonderful.
hugs,
Sharlene and Molly Muffin
