Updates on FWIENDS




Don't despaiw evewyone..just keep thinking pawsitive thoughts and wooting fow them..you can do so much wif youw doggie enewgy..you have no idea!!!
Us nuwsies awe just letting Jackson west wight now


and Snickews is patiently waiting, and we'we just twying to keep hew still and entewtained

Update!!!! I just weceived this lettew...
Hey Pals, Just wanted to tell you first that I have NO liver problems!!! Mama is soooooo happy right now. She already went to the vet quick to get my medication. I start on 1/4 gram 2 times per day of the Phenobarbital. The vet is hoping I don't need to increase the dose. It will take 2 weeks to get into my system well, so I could have some small seizures in that time period. After that time, then if I have any, they up the dose a bit. My weight is right in between 2 different dosages so the vet opted for the lower dose. So that's why I might need to up it later on. He also said I could act a bit spacey while I adjust to the medicine. (we'll just tell my other pals I was drinking Lacie's smoothies, tee hee!) Thanks so much for everyone's paws & prayers. We know they helped me out!!! Luv & Wirey Hugs! Snickers, Butchy & Mama
while we wait fow those wesults..I wushed ovew to Snowball's house to massage hew back..she has constant pwoblems and pain fwom it fow a long time now


and finally, I went to see my dawling Fwiend Noah, who has awfuw -Itis.. It's quite cold in Austwalia, so I built him a fiwe..we awe doing spa thewapy..while he thinks of tweats and his beloved...I am massaging his back

(his sissy Tess had to have hew cwacked toof pulled, but is feeling pwetty good, thank dog)

Pleez keep youw paws cwossed fow all these fwiends and fow any othews you know who awe feeling poowly like Dakota

Thank DOG for the good news about dear Snickers. I do wish they could figure something out for Jackson. Perhaps he is just making up symptoms to get visits from his favorite nurse???? ;)

Oh Asta...I just had to do the Heimlick manoover on Mumsie..she was lookin' at the pic of you dancin' at Jackson's house and she um CHOKED on a glass of water. I'm sure it wasn't from the picture...just bad timing. Well that Heimlick lickie thing works...she fell over on the floor, so I'm assumin' she's ok! Isn't it pawsome Snickers is ok...!!! Those silly seizures can be easily controlled with the right combo of smoothies...piece of cakie!!!

We need to go to bedie bye...it's fresh sheets night!!! My favorite....

Hugs to you my sweet BFF!!!!!

Laciegirl

I promised Noah that I'd take night turn and use my usual basket and sleep right by his basket! If you can sleep with Tess and use the blender to grind up some of those stinky fish heads she likes into a raw gruel??? Thanks Asta...ur the best!

Hi, I'm Mango the Maltese kiddo. There is another nice big brother Mango out there!
I'm glad I discovered your interesting blog today.
You are the doggy doctor, I like the picture that had you massaging Snowball's back.
Your Mom is a great painter, I admire her talents. On the other hand, my Mom is a great pain in the bumbum, she clicks at me with her annoyed camera 24/7.
