Wednesday, January 4, 2012

After 2 weeks of waiting I finally got Fifi's ashes back. I put a sculpture of a little black poodle on top of the box and for some odd reason find it comforting having her back. I will always miss her and a chunk of my heart died with her that night but life goes on and it's a brand new year.

So of course with it being a brand new year...I got sick. 3 days in bed but I had my "boys" to keep me company.

Timmy is feeling much better all the healing thoughts must have worked. Thank you.

So while I was sick he decided to show me just how well he is.

yum..oatmeal cookies!!

Yup, his appetite is back. He helped himself to a cookie that was in the package.

I don't care

When I scolded him he just gave me attitude. So I went to the kitchen to get another cookie and when I came back he was polishing off my toast.

yummy...toast!!!

I suppose I should be angry but I am just happy to have him feeling better. He really does not care because he knows I am standing there taking his pic but it never stops him!

I LOVE my new sweater!

Off to the kitchen I go but this time I take him with me, so he just finds crumbs on the floor to snack on. I finally found a nice sweater to wear in the house. A lot of his are getting ratty from him scratching at them. I'm not sure about the white cuffs but it fits him nice and tight. He likes this one! Of course he still needs his long johns and coats when he goes outside but it is good for his skin to breathe once in a while. I think his little slipper feet need a trim. He has to go back to the vet to get his "delicate area" swabbed (as the vet tech put it) once his drugs are done.

I am a good boy.

I'm bored.

So while Timmy is scooting about my other 2 boys are resting on the floor.

Pippin the BC is getting really fat from being a house dog.

Buster Peebody is doing great, he really is a photogenic little guy!

It was so cold here that I finally had to move the guinea pigs back in the house from the bunny shed. The bunnies are fine but the little GP's can catch a chill really easy and the heat lamp just wasn't enough.

So now I'll get to have some new models to take pics of!

Have a great week!!

Last post for the year

It has been a tough December. Thanks to everyone for their support. Losing Fifi right before Christmas was hard. I still can't get use to my shadow not being at my side or her yappy greetings whenever I came home. The house is so quiet, even Mr B says he misses her. But there were other worries to occupy my mind..mainly Buster Peebody. He has never been without Fifi and she was his best friend. They played, slept together and she was the brave one. He kept looking for her for a while and was very sad.

poor sad Buster

He just layed around but seems to be perking up now. I am giving him LOTS of attention and cuddles.

I know how you feel Buster

Even Pippin was low which is hard for a Border Collie.

Timmy on the other hand didn't really notice. He is going to be very angry at me for posting these pics .

OH NO she got a new picture box!

Mr B decided a new camera for xmas might take my mind of things and gave me an awesome little nikon Coolpix 500. It can be totally auto or manual. So until I get my new SLR I can still try to learn manual settings. Not yet though. I have to get use to it first.

Hah..I'll show her!

Timmy on this particular day was being very bad. He had pooped on the floor so he got in trouble. Then I thought "oh no..what if he is like Fi and this is his last day?" So I went to make amends but he was busy drinking the tea out of my mug. He really does not care if he gets into trouble. Afterwards he rubbed his bare butt all over my pillow to get back at me.

Hangover maybe???

Timmy seems to be aging rapidly which worries me. His tongue has started to hang out and he never combs his hair anymore. Buster Peebody is trying to be buddies with him so Timmy uses him as a heater of sorts. Whatever works for them.

Anyhoo last month Timmy became ill, I didn't mention it because I didn't want my blog to be so depressing. Working great for me this month.

So he had a bunch of tests done and found a bunch of things wrong. The main reason he was ill though was due to a very nasty infection in a very delicate area. Only Timmy could get an infected wang cover. You know you love your dog when you rinse his wang off 3 times a day. So he was on meds forever and seemed better until 3 days ago. Once again the infection was back.

So we went to the vet again to get drugs but we can't figure out the root of the infection. Also he was in a lot of pain and crying out. For the first time in 8 years he didn't finish his dinner so I knew it was serious.

We thought he had a blockage because he went into my purse and I found individual wrapped life savers on the floor. So I assumed he had swallowed them whole . So I was prepared to put him down and was trying to be brave but the vet assured me he didn't seem to have belly pain..whew..but wait..so why is he crying out..maybe when he fell UP the stairs 3 times or when Buster Peebody pushed him off the bed he hurt himself? Who knows but they think his back is going which is probably why he walks with a hump in the middle and moves kinda like a crab outside..Timmy can't even be sick like a normal dog. If I wasn't so worried I would find all of this very typical for Timmy.

So since this really is his blog, his story, I felt I should update you folks on Timmy because I have not mentioned him lately. He has to get his liver checked out but until this infection goes away we can't do much. The vet was concerned because he has lost weight but Buster Peebody and Timmy quit eating well after Fifi passed. They still won't eat their morning kibble.

So he is on antibiotics, supplements, fancy schmancy food and I am giving him pain meds even though the vet was worried it would hurt his liver. I'd rather he be comfortable now. The vet also said he should be blind because his cataracts are so bad but he still sees things. I thought he was going crazy, standing at the wall instead of the door to come in but it's because he can't see well. I don't know which is worse.

I'm sick

So I'm hoping he will be fine, here is a pic from today..no energy except when I fed him prime rib.

So I am going to be glad to see the end of this year.

Lots of great things happened but this month has been awful.

So please send Timmy some healing thoughts , he would like that.

I hope you all have a great big happy and shiny New Year !!!!

The Road Trip- Part 1

While looking for pics on my fried camera's memory card I found some of the road trip we took.

So I thought I would share..Here we go...

Happy Timmy ready to go!!!!

So excited!

He started it.

Fifi..get in the car so we can go..

And off we go and boy are we making great time. We are on the road for at least 10 min when Timmy needs a potty break.

When you gotta go..you gotta go!

of course then Buster Peebody had to go.

At this point we had gone only a few miles from my house yet had left over 30 min. ago.Really...

Are we there yet?

Finally everyone settles down and 2 1/2 hrs later we arrive.

My sis's house. She lives in Illinois but this is her Ontario Canada house. It is a beautiful place just a little overgrown at the moment.

And look who is there to greet us..no other than Toto..our long lost pack brother!!

Happy Toto

Toto then comes racing up with his new brother Atlas!

Toto says "follow me!"

Then they run away again...

Come on!

I'm so confused

Now Timmy is confused..too follow or not to follow..hmmmmmmmmmmmmm To be continued.....

Little FiFi

The last little while I have been noticing that FiFi has been a little "off". Not her usual peppy poodle self. I thought it could just have been the heat but then the little cough started. Just once or twice during the night last week.

So I thought..oh oh..heart..then the three little weasels (as I call them) were sleeping soundly beside each other. I noticed Fifi was taking almost 3 breaths to Buster Peebodys 1. So yesterday morning she was kind of puffing out..so I phoned the vet.

Now I don't have a vet here in town but it just so happens I found my most fav. vet ever opened shop 15 min. away..so needless to say I was happy.

Fifi has only had a vet call once in 8yrs. She is a healthy girl...but...after an examination, and chest xrays..sure enough I was right.

Sometimes I hate being right. She has a grade 4 heart murmer, fluid builup around the heart and her heart is slightly enlarged. So now she is on "water pills" to get rid of the fluid and 2 different heart pills to help get things working better.

The vet was surprised that I noticed the signs because they were so subtle..but we all know our dogs, don't we!!!! The good news is for an old girl her joints look great, few signs of any arthritis. BUT she needs to lose a pound, She has always been around 8-9ilbs and now she is 9.8 lbs..YIKES!! Now I'm just waiting for the blood results ,I have a feeling I know something is going to show up there. I hope I'm wrong.

Anyhoo she enjoyed the visit, poor Mr B had to foot the bill and I think I am going to need another job to keep these dogs in meds...oh well....we all get old at some point. Don't worry though, she is still her happy little self and should feel better soon.

Turn off the flash crazy lady..you are going to give me a heart attack and I am NOT fat, just fluffy!!!

So no new camera..vet bill instead. Here are the sort of shots you can expect to see from my vintage digital camera.

Wait a sec...what do you mean no new camera..You mean I am going to look like this is all the pics now!!!

Yes Timmy, no new camera. Fifi is more important than taking pics of you without flash eyes. You may have noticed Timmy's new "do". He wanted a more youthful look so he cut off his long fu man chu whiskers.

Loving my new look..I look 10 yrs younger. I call it the "bieb look"

Yes Timmy for a 200yr old dog you do look younger. BTW the vet remembers you and can't wait to see you!! Isn't that nice?

Me??? Go to a vet??? Forget the stink eye..your getting a raspberry with a flash eye!!! I intend to cost you a fortune if you make me go there.

Second job here I come...sigh

The Mystery-Part 2

So I found this mess in the front room the other day.

Timmy and FiFi have been let off after questioning, but Buster Peebody is still a suspect.

"I did nothing wrong. I have a Lawyer"

Oh Gawd..here we go..Timmy you cannot be his lawyer. You were a suspect.

"My client is a lot of things, like an idiot, but not a shoe killer and if anything he needs help for hoarding. His OCD causes many problems and his hoarding does not allow him time to be destructive as the evidence will show...

Court evidence #1"
