Hi everyone! I know I have not been around for a while! So much going on here.........house on the market for sale, showings, working out a contract and trying to get ready for a move. whew! Naomi is getting so big! I don't think you'll hardly recognize her. Precious is doing well. We had her in ICU...

Oh my goodness!!!! Is there anything cutier than a chowling?! Maybe four chowlings!!!! They are soo soooooo sooooooo cute! Thank you for sharing those pictures and putting a smile on my face!

Oh yes, we would most definitely be there! And glad to help Bama out however we can!!!

Missi and the girls

awwww, poor Colonel. So sorry buddy that you had to have another eye surgery. Not very fun being poked at I know, but so glad to know that your mommie is so very good and speaks up for you on your behalf! Bravo Bama, bravo!!! Speedy recovery Colonel. Much love and big sloppy kisses, Precious and Naomi

I just couldn't resist adding these from this afternoon.

Deanski,

I am so terribly sorry to hear of your sudden loss!!! Prayers and thoughts sent your way to be comforted and find peace.

Much love and with deepest sympathy - Missi and the girls

Hi! First of all, I have to comment again on what a cute boy you have. Precious and Naomi both saw him and said he is sooo cute - it would embarrass them if they knew I told you that :oops: Well, Precious, full chow, never really had a problem jumping or jumping up on things, but to be honest, I can...

awww, I have not ever seen Precious or Naomi wag their tails in their sleep. Seen their feet wiggle like they are running, even hear some faint growling or like they are trying to bark - but no tail wagging. I'll look out for that. Sounds like it would be soo cute!

Special, you are so special!

Just read your post - so so SO happy to read that Diva's surgery went well and that she is doing fine! Praying for continued healing from both your's and Diva's surgery! Take care - Missi

Love our Jake! What a heart throb you are big boy!!!

Oh, isn't she beautiful!!!! That is a face you can't help but fall in love with!!!! Congratulations again John! I can't say enough about how pretty I think she is!

Naomi is three months old! Look how much she has grown! She is such a smart, good little girl. We are still so thrilled that we were able to rescue her. Redangie and Chowy, still cannot thank you two enough! http://i140.photobucket.com/albums/r19/mrgumina/HPIM3582.jpg http://i140.photobucket.com/alb...

Cannot believe that I had missed this thread somehow. OF course I would be there with the girls!!! Name the time and we are there!!! Bama, anything that I could do to help you out, please let me know - since I live so close to you. Did we talk about a particular day yet? I'll read back through the t...

Lou, thank you. That is very kind. I just got home from puppy class with Naomi and she is happy to see me. Infact, she just came in the study to be by me again. I already spend a good deal of time with the girls, but I am going to make a concerted effort to spend alone time with both of them also. I...

I just spoke with Dr. Amy. Precious is doing very well there this afternoon. She is eating well, urine is good and all the physical exams they have done on her are good. Even in their words - "Wow, she is remarkable for an almost 15 year old." Normal older doggie stuff, but doing pretty go...

Kiwani - Hey, thanks for the link - it reminded me that there is a post I read through the canine cushings board I belong to. We have the pamphlets available to us there also from the drug company (arnolds) that makes or produces the vetoryl (the UK version of trilostane). Here's what it said too - ...

Thank you Kiwani - you are very thoughtful...........and quick too! I appreciate the response and will read up.

Hi! Yep, Precious is just shy of 15 years old right now. And really, although she is having a rough few days here, I don't see any reason why she won't rebound and continue on for a while. I tend to agree with the others, that 12-14 or 15 seems to be more of what I am seeing rather than what some of...

Kiwani - Hi! just curious, you mean side effects of the Trilostane? or one of the other meds she's on right now? would love your input. to fill in the gaps here for you - She was off her Trilo for 5 days, then started her back at a lower dosage (30 mg instead of 60 mg) and she was on that for 5 days...

Just spoke with Dr. Amy - her ACTH test results do not indicate that she is "crashing" or that she is over suppressed. Mystery? Not sure what exactly is going on with my girl. We slept OK last not, but not great. I kept waking up to be sure that Precious was alright. So, I will give her an...

Well, sad news - she is just not feeling well again. Now she is a bit lethargic and depressed. Not throwing up, but I can hear her tummy gurgling. As we assumed at the vet, she is over suppressed from her Trilostane (her chemo for her Cushings.) I have given her another 5mg of Prednisone to avoid an...

A few pictures of Precious since home from the vet - obviously exhausted, but happily snoring away on her bed. She is perfectly content, wouldn't you say?

Precious is home!!! I will start out by saying, she is feeling much better than she did this morning, but, (and isn't there always a but?) she isn't 100% yet and that will take some time. They did blood work, lab work and an xray to be sure all was ok with her. The ACTH test will be in tomorrow (tha...

I must join in and say Congratulations!!!! I anxiously await pictures of your new blonde traveling companion!

Hi - just spoke with Dr. Amy. A couple things we are taking care of. First, we believe she may be over suppressed from her Cushings. (meaning she is now not producing enough cortisol.) We definitely do not want her in Addison's crisis, so she will have IV and steriods today. Also her tummy is gas-y,...
