hugs
Sharlene and molly muffin

first; i wish you, patti and sharlene, a happy easter too.
we do have 2 days of easter holidays overhere.
i am going to visit my aunt. she will cook me a nice meal, and i will help her with the garden etc.
p.s.
tipper..... ian has a bit of a big belly too. his tail is getting bushy again and his mane are growing too. shiny coat, but curly . i know horses with cushing's do get a curly coat too.
i have to walk the dogs for the last time and go to bed.

Iris:
I hope you have a real good day today at your aunts house. That sounds like quite the treat having someone cook for you! She must be a wonderful aunt. Hope the babies are good while you are gone! Blessings
Patti

hi patti, 3 days without internet. my pc needed a doctor. now fixed with vista. but i miss my w-xp.
the dogs are always coming with me to my aunt's. they are very welcome at her place.
in fact i stayed the night and the doggies too!
i like it when someone is cooking me a meal.[and she is a good cook]
i have to catch up reading on this forum, but i am too tired right now.
hope you and tipper have a good night sleep.

Welcome back. Glad you had a sleep over at your aunts. Sounds like just the thing!

Yes I understand I mounted xp for a long time too. It is still my preferred op system of them all.

Iris:
So glad all got fixed with the computer. Hope you will not have any problems for a long time. That was great you got a cooked meal, and taking the babies with you is terrific. You must have a very sweet aunt. Tipper and I went for bp today and it was good. I am so disappointed having to wait another week to take Tipper for her tumor check. It just makes for a lot of anxiety for me, when I lay awake at nite I think about it. Rainy here today and cold so unless it stops no walking. Is Enya all better now? Ian seems to be doing well on his maintenance dose too. Have a good walk with your babies. Blessings
Patti

sharlene and patti, my aunt is indeed a really nice person.
i loved w-xp too, so easy to use.
since the pc is on vista i do not have sound anymore. very strange.......any suggestions?
i have to buy some extra memory bars to help my pc.
it is hot and sticky overhere, at night too, and it is only april.
i wish i found a way to feed ian his vetoryl, he needs it, but last 2 days he refused every treat because he knows there could be a pill in it
i tried to force it down as a last attempt, but he did put up a nasty fight and cried all the way. he is very upset right now and no pills.
he did so well on them.
i don't know what to do anymore.

Sounds issues tend to be associated with the drivers. You might need to download a new driver.
Does he like stinky cat food? Some dogs love that stuff and will take the pills in that.

Iris:
Does Ian like fish? Do you think you could put it in fish and form it in a ball so he does not see it and harder to smell. He is a tough one that Ian, hard to fool. It makes it so hard for you to pill him I know. If Tipper smells it or tastes it, it must not be that bad as she eats it anyway. One of the supplements for her liver she spits out of the chicken just about every time, so it must be foul. She knows every time when it is in the chicken. Does everything about this disease have to be so difficult??? He probably does need his pills if he has been missing them, but the stress like you said of trying to just get it down him is not worth it. I hate to pill Tipper, but she leaves me no choice with the liver supplement. I swear she has jaws of steel, and you cannot open them. Hope you can walk before it gets to hot and humid. Sharlene may know what is wrong with your sound, I have had an issue in the past with sound, but can't remember what it was. Blessings
Patti

it sounds so familiar; jaws of steel. i simply can not open his mouth.
i do not want to damage our relationship, he is such a sensitive dog.
today i bought a fish taste can of catfood and i hope the vetoryl is down.[searching the floor with a flashlight right now] but tomorrow i probably have to find something else to fool him.
he can miss it for a few days, but i do not want ian to collaps again.
he is almost back to normal on the vetoryl and i don't want to loose him.
we finaly had rain and thunder tonight, so i hope the temp. will drop.
i am going to read tipper's thread now. hope you and tipper are fine.
