Awesome news, Leslie! I am so happy to hear this! And I LOVE the video! It reminds me of my little Bailey when I put a sweater on him. He got all stiff and just sort of fell over. That little Squirt sure is a cutie!
I so wish I had an animal communicator...it would make things soooo much easier!

Leslie,
Thanks for putting a smile on my face this morning. Funny, I bought Bo the same brand of diaper from Petco in his last days and he did the same exact dance Squirt was doing. Maybe the manufacturer should have put out an offer to submit videos of dogs in the products....sure would have put a smile on a lot more faces.:D
Give Squirt some belly rubs for us.
That video is too cute! Your laughing cracked me up too :D:D Have a good day you guys! xx
Ohhh I meant to tell you I watched the Hobbit on my flight last week, it was great! I think it was you that said you loved those stories a while back, scenery is so beautiful! Hope you get to see it xx
Leslie;
I will be out today. Tipper has some serious issues going on with her throat please pray for her and ask the lady we talked about to help her. Blessings

Leslie: Squirt is so beautiful and that was hilarious. She did not like the diaper at all. Hope you have a good day with the Queen and all the pups. Love, JoAnne
I'm so glad ya'll enjoyed the show! :D Squirt is real good at giving the stink eye, let me tell you!
I did goof up with using the diaper, tho. I should have left it on her and let her get used to it before bedtime. She is not as steady as she used to be and has a harder time moving about on the bed these days. With the diaper on, she was really awkward and I was concerned she would hurt her back legs so she didn't wear to bed last nite. But, with taking her out often she didn't have an accident. So today we will practice with the diaper on while she is on the carpet so she has better traction until she is more at ease walking in it. Of course, the Queen may decide as long as she displays the "fact" that she just can't walk in it Mom won't make her wear it. ;) We have more storms rolling in and I got to thinking I need to get her an ACE bandage with colors and patterns that compliments the denim diaper so she can be stylin' during bad weather. :p Talk about the stink eye! :rolleyes::p
If anyone is interested in talking to our communicator to see if this is something you would be interested in, PM me and I will be happy to give you her contact info. Marcela is a member here who lost her sweet Truffa a few years ago but she still pops in from time to time. This type work is distance healing / communicating and she does not have to be with your pup to help.
Thanks for the compliments on my Sweet Bebe. I think she is the most beautiful creature to ever grace this old Earth. ;)
Hugs,
Leslie and Squirt

Why is her glucose so low Leslie? That won't be making her feel too good?
I know...that was a shock to see as was the T4. But I can't remember if she had eaten much that day or not. The GLU was fine the day she had the labs when she had the seizure. She had been eating better when this blood was drawn but had been off her feed for a while following the seizure and what she's willing to eat since is no where near the nutrient composition she's been eating for years so I'm hoping that is the reason for this - not eating and not eating right when she will eat. She's slowly acting better but still not eating worth a crap. The only thing she wants is one particular PetCo treat.
Two more new foods, more kibbles this time because she's flat refusing all canned or wet foods period, and she turned up her nose at both. I've added sardines, tripe, and mixed all sorts of flavors but, nope, doesn't want it. She's hungry but doesn't want anything I have offered other than those treats. Maybe five times since the seizure has she eaten her meal without coaxing or waiting for an hour or so, then she still leaves food. I got some ground Bison and some Parmesan cheese today. I'm going to make some meatballs with the Bison tomorrow as well as bake some of the FreshPet wet food she liked for a bit and see if that helps. Oddly, even with all the food changes over the last few weeks, her bowel movements are good.
Her refusal to take any wet foods has made giving meds to her impossible. She was due another Lyso dose today but refused her breakfast so I haven't given it. She's only getting 1/8 of a tablet at a time and I'm spacing that out so that her cortisol can rise just a bit to hopefully help with the pain and appetite. She should have been hungry for just about anything this morning but wasn't. I'm seriously considering stopping the lignans and melatonin as much as I hate to but I'm not sure they are worth the fight that is going would happen getting them down her.
