Re: Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues
Hi Everyone:
Well turkey day is officially over and the babies and I can watch all the shoppers getting into fights over store deals!! Seems counterproductive to me. I gave Toby some of the chicken I stuffed and gave Tipper her regular chicken and she thought she was eating what Toby had, so all was good. My old neighbor fellow came knocking at the door and brought me some ham from his daughter and the turkey. She thanked me for caring for her dad and always watching out for him, and said she was glad to give me something for helping. I told her I didn't do it to get anything, I did it because I wanted to. She said she is glad he has me for a neighbor as she lives 2 hours away. She is staying until Sunday so next week I will make the turkey and make some meals from it for him. I am trying to read the information for Tipper's new diet she will be starting as it is quite detailed and complicated to see at first. It is scary for me to do this, but she needs it so I must get it done. Leslie will help me if I mess up so I am very thankful for her. I never attempted to feed any of my animals home cooked food and it is a rather daunting task to start. I have gone to the nth degree to give Tipper every advantage to fight off this disease that I could, and this is the last thing I need to add to what we are already doing. I feel good nutrition will help her lose some weight, and get healthier. I have pushed myself to the limits to help her and feel this will maybe get her vitality back. I got Toby a new ball, as he just about has his old one ruined, and I looked online for an exact replacement. It came and Toby is not thrilled with it. It could be the smell. So, you guessed it Tipper saw it on the floor grabbed it and is playing with it constantly. She is only doing this to spite Toby you understand, as she has her own private ball and no one better touch it! If Toby even looks at it she will got nuts, and all this when they are separated by a gate! Tipper really had the tremors last nite, across he chest and her whole body moving. When she puts her feet under me to stop her legs form moving it wakes me up when I feel her legs starting to move. Oh well that's ok as long as she is with me I'll put up with anything for her. She is miffed as there is no walking this morning as it is back down in the teens. She is pacing letting me know she is bored and annoyed that I am doing something. Hope everyone that celebrated had a wonderful day yesterday, and leftovers so they don't have to cook today. Blessings
