HR

A1C UPDATED

I am so happy to report that Ashlee's A1C was 8.5 ... never thought I'd be happy with 8.5 but after the 10.5 in July this is a huge improvement! My Mom's was 6.5 ...good for her ... she has finally learned not to cheat! Wish I COULD!

HR is STILL so much of my daily (and nightly) thoughts ...it's crazy! Little Romeo has slipped into total separation anxiety melt-down mode! I can't go to the mailbox without him crying ... I thought he was completely over that stage of his life .. but either my energy ABOUT H or he misses his bully-buddy, H, OR he really thinks he's alone now ...I don't know what ??? but we'll figure it out!

I have actually been thinking of calling the Breeder who Lisa and Michael got HR from. (SHHHH...don't tell Bill!) It goes against everything I believe should be done for all the HOMELESS dogs in the shelter ! I just miss H so much ...I want a part of him back, even if it's a distant cousin! Don't worry I just WON'T buy from a breeder ...but I can think about it!

11-23-2011 ...this has been sitting in a "draft" file for over a month ... now I can't remember what I was going to add...

Heavy sigh............................

The little darlings' A1C level is 10.5
(It was 8.5 previously)

Nothing to do or say ... those Moms' out in the DOC understand .... no one else does ... not even the darling daughter, the D-Mom in this case.

I had to say goodbye to HR .... my beloved Tibetian Terrier! Kiss Miss Chloe for me, H !

Parental Software??

Romeo has been disguising himself and going into POODLE CHAT ROOMS .... any of you YOUNGER moms out there know of a good software for Parental Control on PC and / or Handheld devices??

I Love HR !

Oh his little heart is failing and I just can't bear it! He ate his food this morning and it took him almost an hour! Little Romeo hearts beats like :

Bump-Bump Bump-Bump ...perfect rhythm ... Chloe beats same ... then my HR~~~~~~~~

Sounds like Bump-swoosh swoosh BumpBumpBump Swooooooooshhhh



I know its bad bad bad ..... I just can't let him go, the little Rascal! He's taking an ACE Inhibitor and I'm wondering if he may need a Beta-Blocker instead ... Vets are ALMOST as BAD as Doctors! Rush em in ...collect the moo-laa and don't let the door hit-your-booty on the WAY OUT!! What to do What to do What to do !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Chloe and HR

It's 4:30 am and my old darling "babies" have kept me up ...most of the night. NO Messes ... no vomit ... no diarrhea, for ONCE I wish that was the case. HR and Miss Chloe coughed LONG and HARD ... most of the night. They've had the "old dog" heart cough for a month or so (HR's much worse than Chloe's...but who cares?). I know what it means and I just can't bear losing either of them. Of course dogs don't live forever and people are so much more important .... but, when I look like poop or have a nasty attitude or am JUST plain mean (yes, I do have those days! ☺) THEY are the first to forgive me, love me, kiss me, make me laugh and, well, I just love them!

I've been afraid to make the Vet appointment but I guess there's always the possibility he can increase HR's medication ... I don't know what he can do for Chloe, just have to wait and see.

You know, I'd be the first person to "gently" suggest to a friend, who's pet is obviously in distress, to CONSIDER the obvious but my dogs are DIFFERENT ... they speak English, they know what I'm going to say before I say it ... they are precious souls ... how can I end it??? (You always feel differently when you put ON THOSE SHOES!)

Here they come ... time to EAT .... if I'm awake, it must be breakfast time in their minds ....

more later!

ps: Today is not the day!! I just know that day is coming and I'm blue thinking about it ... I have Romeo ... he's much younger. Chloe and H are not going anywhere YET (except to the vet) ... let's go visit Dr. Steve ..OH BOY , RIDE IN THE CAR ... OH BOY !!!

Falling Off

On our morning cruise around the Gates of Sunshine .... Romeo and I enjoying the cooling trend! Beautiful SoCal morning ...

We round the corner for home , pull into (and up) the driveway and S P L A T T - O !!! Down we go! What the heck just happened? Romeo FLEW out of the basket and I landed on one knee! Neither of us was hurt, thank goodness, and for once I was so glad I had forgotten Romeo's "safety harness" ..I think the fall would have broken his back had he had it on.

So, bloody knee and all ... I know this fall was a blessing .... I know NOW that all this safety equipment is not-so-safe! Romeo, my famous and talented Pup, lives to ride another day ... and the "safety stuff" goes into the rubbish!

two sick, one worried!
