Bailey and Friends

Yee Haa!!!
Congratulations!

Having just started down this road, I agree with "4" months. Earlier than that is just expecting too much.

Love, Susan

Hi Susan...
"rolley polley bugs "
We call them thar bugs grub worms around here. NOT to be mistaken with grub for eating.!!

Hello fur lovers!!
Puppy class-well, there were just two of us there (3 counting Bob. 5 counting the dogs. 6 counting the instructor.)
I am very hopeful about it. This is waaaaaaayyyy better than what I tried with Palmer. I like the woman (Nancy). She had a little packet to hand out. She has another more complete packet you can buy for $5. Not sure we need that.
Bailey did VERY well.....until about the last 10 minutes. The other dog is a shih-tzu. They are the same size. It's Cheri and ??? Bella? This woman should be ashamed of herself. She made her own harness and it has a fluffy, ruffled skirt sewn on it. :eek::confused: HOW DISGRACEFUL!! Dog is 6 months.
We left an hour ahead-took about 45 minutes. At about 35 minutes, Bailey "blew lunch" all over me. Oh dear. Oh - more importantly (for Bob) - all down my arm, down into the seat, between seat and console, coming to rest on the carpet. She definitely gets car sick. I think I'm going to give her some baby Benadryl next week before we go.

No practice today. I had lunch with a friend, got my nails done and when I got back, Bailey was not very peppy. I think there has been an awful lot of activity, relatively speaking, for her in the past few days.
I am pooped. Just very little energy available to me. Had the headache yesterday, not there today. Yesterday, labored breathing, today as well. I gave some blood yesterday and will see the doc on Monday. I''m going to ask her if I can get some oxygen for at home for a little while.

Marie-where's ,my response?
Abby-You've got mail!!

Love,
Susan

How could I forget??!! It's Cheri (owner) and GiGi (with the hula skirt.)
Have a great weekend!
love.s

A hula skirt during training class, LOL, I sure wish I could see that!!!

Koko gets car sick if he has any food prior to the ride so we always have to wait an hour or more to go for a ride if he even has a small snack.

Have a great weekend!!!

Love,
Addy

Hey,

I saw Carrol was on, but I didn't get a message to her in time.

Has anyone heard from her?

No going home outfits--the hubby would freak a little on that one. His girl has to be rough and tough!!! It is his guy thing about the dog. Maddie was onree (sp.) like him; good qualities in his eyes--haha!!!

I still owe you a message and I have not forgotten. :) Thanks!!!

Can't you people behave without me to watch you??? And, Mom, you know the rule - "Mothers aren't allowed to get sick"! And "CARROL WHO", Royal Wedding, training classes - what's that all about?? Oh, Lord, and TICKS - YUCK!
Leslie, Marie, Addy - you know Mom - she tries the whale and that didn't work so now she goes the tick route? What is going on with you guys? Ya'll need to get a grip :):):)
I know - ya'll are doing this just to get me to reply - right?:)
Well, I've been a little tied up. Camel took off. Blue face people came back and thought I was one of them.They were off to shop at a big new mall, The Sprawling Oasis", at the edge of the sea. Huge place with indoor parking for camels and everything! Well, I went for a walk near the water and got arrested for loitering on the beach. What "beach" - the whole country is freakin' sand! So there I am sitting in the jail tent, looking out the door flap when, lo and behold, who walks by but President Obama! He's over here dividing up countries or something. Well, I explained to him that i had had some rather bad luck since being thrown out of a truck by a smelly, toothless guy back in the US and that my family had maxed out my American Express card buying red sweaters and shoes. I kinda had to shout at him 'cause he wouldn't come close - must have been that the blue face scared him:rolleyes: He said "no problem. You can hitch a ride on Airforce One - you don't need your AMEX card, the taxpayers will be happy to pay". Nice guy! So I get into Airforce One. Really nice little plane. The pilot was REALLY concerned about my comfort and found a way to open the window next to my seat. He said it had never been done before but for ME he was definitely going to do it. Nice guy, too. Well it got a little chilly by the window so I went to find a blanket. Found one and went into the kitchen to find something to eat. Turned on the stove, got blanket too close and blanket caught on fire. People came running Fire extinguishers spraying everywhere and then fire was out. Lots of angy faces - poor sports:(. The pilot landed the plane and told me to get out. I asked where I was but he was just screaming something about tax dollars, angry President, lost job and other words I don't want to say. I walked away and am just trying to figure out where I am now............

Hi guys!
I'm sorry that you were worried but the past while has not been the best.
Miss Chloe does not seem as well as she has been - increased panting, constantly going up and down off the bed, sofa etc. She seems to be more awkward in her walking, she seems to have a bit more weakness in her hind legs and her tummy seems larger. Anyway, i took her for another ACTH stim test last Wednesday.
Sparky's sugars are still not under control. One fasting blood sugar was 622 and another 322 so go figure. I think i may do a glucose curve tomorrow. He needs to go back to have his liver enzymes rechecked and I am afraid to see what they are. Doc has never seen a case like this so he signed up for a specialists' conference in Denver in June to see if he can get some answers there. Poor guy had to pay extra to go as he is not an IMS. Shows what kind of Doc he is.
As for me, I have been very tired lately, barely able to stay awake for more than a few hours. I was waking up gasping during during the night and snoring when i did doze off:o I went for a sleep study and they found i had severe sleep apnea - frequent episodes where my throat closed and I stopped breathing for long periods of time, my blood oxygen dropped very low and then I would wake up gasping for air. So now I am waiting for my CPAP machine. Maybe then I can get some sleep and get functioning again.
I am so sorry, Susan, to hear you are not feeling well. It will take time to recover but it is VERY important to rest as much as you can. You have to get your immune system in as good a shape as you can. Even when you are feeling good, you must rest. These symptoms can come and go and your body has to be able to fight the bacteria. Thinking back over the past year and your loss of sweet Palmer, you were not in a good place emotionally or physically. that kind of stress can play havoc with your body and leave it open for all kinds of infection to set in even in the best scenarios - and you had to pick a bad one! You should move to the desert - we fry ticks, fleas and mosquitos here! Please take care of yourself.
Addy & Leslie - what is happening with you - I must go to your threads.
Marie - I am thrilled about your new addition and will be looking for pics. Name??
Well, I must make myself get up for a while.
Take care. I love you all!
Carrol

Carrol is BACK!!:D:):p Mom she's back!!!!!

So glad you are back and on the "road" to recovery. We missed you terribly!!!!:D

I am hoping the best for your little ones!!!

Thanks, Marie!! Glad to be back. it has been awful. With sleep deprivation - no memory, no patience, no concentration, no balance (like Mom). It has been all I could do to medicate Chloe & Sparky.
I am looking forward to some real sleep. If I haven't heard from CPAP people on Monday, I will call them and find out what the heck is going on.
I am really excited about your new baby. That's really great but....
NO DOG SLEEPING IN MY BED IN THE NON-BASEMENT!!!!
