This picture is Gidget giving her big brother bunches of puppy whisker kisses. Mike's not too excited about them but tolerates her. :-D


Things aren't good today. Mike continues to lose his bladder and drips in between, and to top it off, he had diarrhea this morning too. He did manage to eat some chicken I made for him last night, so that's a good thing. Poor guy seems almost lethargic today.

Roberta suggested the possibility of PPA or DES that might be able to help him. I called Dr. Blaha and asked her about them. She said the PPA is a hormone and could make the cancer worse, however the DES (not sure what it is... she gave me a big long word for it) is a strong possibility and might help strengthen his bladder. She's going to come over tomorrow afternoon to check him out and (hopefully) give it to him. I pray it works. I'm also hoping she can give him a shot of it to start him off with so it will get in his system faster than a pill. I am so blessed to have found her. I can't imagine having to take him back to "that" place. LOL

I just wish he would feel better today. Gidget wanted to play with him so bad this morning. It took her a little while, but she finally realized he doesn't feel good and is pretty much letting him rest. Mike has no interest in playing right now. I'm glad he, at least, has the energy to go outside and eat... but I can definitely tell he's out of it... he hasn't barked once today... and (believe it or not) that really bothers me. He has such a strong, manly bark that when he barks, I can only believe he feels healthy and has enough energy to do it... but now, when he's so quiet... I hate it.

Hi Michelle... It's so nice to hear from you. I know how busy you are. I'm glad you like the pictures.. I love posting them. Give Blue and Daisy some belly rubs from me.

Hey Cynthia... Benji's blog looks great too... I hope and pray we could get funded for his surgery. Poor guy needs a break. Also, I'm so very sorry that Jacki deleted his thread on IMOM. I understand that it's against the rules to try to get donations outside of IMOM on a thread, but we really loved reading about you and Benji, Bugsy and Nathan on there. Give Benji and Bugsy some skritches from me.

Anyone wanting to learn about sweet little Benji.. here's a link to his blog... please check it out and pass it on http://www.benjisjourney.blogspot.com/

I have to apologize for not getting to anyone's thread lately. Since Jack's fundraiser has been over I've spent time recouping a bit and then trying to get some work done around here. Also, I've been trying to get the funds to the vet hospital and to Debbie... Western Union really messed up... that's a whole story in itself... so I've spent the last four days stressing out about that... it's finally working out. Whew!!!

I hope everyone is doing well. I promise to check on all of you very soon. Much love and blessings, hugs and nose kisses to all of you.
