Tipper - adrenal tumor/breathing issues

[goldengirl88]

Hi Everyone:
Well we had so much fun yesterday that I could hardly get out of bed! Tipper was up early and ready to begin her day with some enthusiasm. Surprising what no rain can do!! We have already walked and the temperature is cool, but lots of mosquitoes and dew on the ground attracting them. I make sure to walk them on the road only and I am always looking down to make sure no mosquitoes are near them. I don't need more issues with Tipper. I got an answer from the IMS on the question about Tipper's pituitary tumor. It was what I was expecting from her, but wanting a different one. She said the way to deal with this is to remove the adrenal. That seems to be all she is concerned with instead of answering the questions I asked. So she never answered whether a pituitary tumor was in fact seen. I am back to where I was. She did say however that because they can be really small they can be missed on the CT scan. Big deal, I figured that out myself. Oh well I will have to get thru this at Tipper's next ultra sound. I will be wanting a CD copy of the san if she says it grew for my vet to confirm this as everything is about removing it and I don't like that approach. I did not give Tipper antihistamine again yesterday and she is fine, I did not hear any congestion, or see any goop in her eyes. So either what she was allergic too is done or the rain calmed it down. I hope it does not start back up again. She appears to still be doing well on this dosage so I am hopeful her ACTH will be good and we don't need to change doses again. I am hoping to have another good day with my babies as mostly all my work is done and we can just have fun. I have to makes some bubble mix as we are nearly out. They enjoy just the simple things the most. Tipper found a ball of Toby's that had a squeaker left in it and was trying to kill it this morning and within a minute she had it done for. I tried to get it off her as poor Toby was crying, but she wasn't giving it up, she hates squeakers and ruins them all. Afterwards I swear she had a smile on her face! I will get Toby another one. I keep them up when Tipper is out, and just forgot that one so it is a goner. Blessings

I am so glad you had fun yesterday and I hope the fun can continue. Zoe would do the same thing with Koko's squeaky toys. Koko just likes to carry things in his mouth, Zoe always had to chew, chew chew.

I am so glad the bubbles keep everyone entertained and think it is a wonderful idea. More bubbles

I also wanted to thank you Patti for all the time you take checking in on members. I read your post on Lola's thread, so thank you again.

Hi Everyone:
Yes it's good to have two great days in a row. Tipper is so happy it is not raining she has a whole different attitude these two days. I noticed when I take her out potty we go thru the garage. When she gets out on the landing on top of the steps, she looks out the windows of my garage doors to make sure nothing is going on outside before she proceeds down the steps. Thanks you Addy I do try to help as best I can especially with a lot of you working I know you can't always be here. My dog would not be here if not for this forum so I will always be grateful for it, and the wonderful people who truly care. I am making a chocolate pie with a peanut butter crust! I am going to give some to my neighbor man and take Delora a piece, if it is good that is. I have never tried this before so we'll see how it comes out. I am also doing a search for Smart bulbs. They are light bulbs that you use outside like your porch lite. They turn off 30 minutes after being turned on. When I used to go to work at 4:30am and it was dark I could see going outside etc. and it would shut itself off when I left. I kept the cardboard it was sold in and am trying to find the company. It saves a lot when things shut off. I know we have smart bulbs now for my IPhone, but I like these as you don't even have to think about it, it just shuts off. Thanks for looking in on us Donna I appreciate it. It is just so good to have Tipper not worried about the weather it sure takes a load off my mind! Blessings

Diana:
I am so sorry to hear you are all not doing well. I think of you and dear, sweet Teddy often. I pray that things turn around for all of you. It makes me sad to think your whole family is having such a bad time. I knew something was wrong as you always answer my posts. Tipper and I are doing the best we can to keep going forward. God Bless you all and hugs and kisses to Teddy.

Thanks Patti, Teddy has been down again, up and down, we don't know if it is the beginning of the end or not, My husbands heart is not good, all 4 valves are leaking slightly and one muscle is enlarged due to the heart being over worked, they have told him to loose weight, I am ill with my 21 illnesses, and my mum is in a care home with dementia as you know, and I see her weekly, and I am helping her through it, it is awful, she doesn't recognize people and can't make sense of anything, I didn't go last week I was too ill, and then my son was made redundant after 13 years in his job, so it has all been going on, one thing after the other, It has been like this for 3 years, but we keep going. You have to Patti, Teddy needs up too bless him.

Kisses to you and Tipper xxx

Hi Everyone:
Well we had a good nite here with no problems and Tipper went in the closet and slept. It is a nice morning, but already steamy hot and lots of dew and mosquitoes out. The dogs have walked and Tipper is resting and I am washing linens and doing some small stuff. It is too hot and humid for Tipper to go back out so I will play some games with her inside today. It is a shame that it is going to be July and all we have had is rain. Some of my plants never did bloom. I am washing linens because Tipper did something yesterday she has never ever done in her life. I keep Elvis covered with a cage cover. Sometimes before I fold it up and put it away for the day, I lay it on the end of the love seat. I saw Lucky sit on it a few times to smell Elvis's scent. Well yesterday when I was not looking Tipper got on the loveseat and must have smelled Lucky on from sitting on Elvis's cover, and she peed on it!!! She hates Lucky, but has never done anything like this. Last nite I went to put the cover on Elvis and it was soaked and I thought what the heck? I smelled it and it was pee. I was so upset with Tipper and she sat in front of me while I asked her did you do this? She turned her head to the side and would not make eye contact, then she marched off to the bedroom and turned her back on me like it wasn't me I don't know what you are talking about. This morning when she saw it is the laundry she looked at me and just looked the other way again like she knew nothing about it!!. I cannot believe she did this. I don't think she can believe she did either!! What a stinker. So I decided to wash linens too while doing this cover. Better be the last time for this crap! I knew it was not Toby as he is too little to get up on the furniture. Good thing because he goes in the yard and pees everywhere Tipper peed? So if he would have smelled it he might have peed on top of hers!! Better be the last time, as Tipper has never peed in the house, ever. Even when she drank gallons of water she always went out. Ok that my little excitement for the day. Blessings

Patti,
They do strange things some times! I'm so glad Tipper has had some good calm days. The bottom fell out here last night around 10:30 and Tanzee freaked out. She was in the bed shaking all over. Made me think of my Tia... I tried not to make a big deal out of it and she finally came and laid beside me under the covers. I'm hoping this will be the last.

Have a good weekend.
Donna
