Thank you all for the encouragement and support, and HUGE HUGS to you. Love you all so much, I don't know what I would do without all your kind words. To know that you all totally understand is such a relief. You guys get it more than my own family or friends.

Lori - Jasper has not had his blood pressure checked recently, I think the last time was maybe in October or November, and it was normal at that time. It was normal the only other time he had it checked also, that was around the time he was first diagnosed with Cushings, last summer. We have a vet appt tomorrow for his Percorten injection, do you think I should ask to have it checked?

As far as his nose, I have told my vet over the phone about it , so she is aware, however, I don't think she has seen it since I noticed the gunky stuff in his nostrils. I have told her about it, she recommended the saline drops. She also said a while back that I could put a little neosporin ointment on it if the vitamin e oil did not help the cracks. I have used it a couple of times, and he didn't seem to really lick it much, so that was good, but I prefer the vit e oil.

Amy, so are so right, we are all here to support each other no matter what is going on. I love it when I read that Boriss is doing well, and when anyone's pup is doing well for that matter. It gives a sense of hope.

I have always been an emotional girl, and the losses and other difficulties that others are facing recently have hit me hard. Also, the anniversary of the loss of my Angel lab Dakota is approaching, and I know that is weighing on me and makes me even more sensitive. I wrote a bit about her in Jill's thread about preparing to say goodbye to Casey. I still miss her so much and this time of year is always hard. So many times I have wished that I had a support group like this forum when she got sick. Losing her was the most horrible thing I have gone through in my life, and the feelings come rushing back so easily it seems.

Jasper doesn't have a stim test tomorrow, but he does have a vet appt and is getting an injection in a show of solidarity for Zoe, Boriss and Coco's stim tests! We are hoping for good results for all.

Love and hugs from me and Jasper
