Thanks again everyone fur the healing vibes.  Mommy is home from work this week and we are having a great time.  Except fur me peeing a river a several times a day, I seem to be doing better. Thanks everyone.

Lassie and Benji

Update

Still feeling very tired.

I wanted to say when I was in the hospital, I wouldnt eat canned food.  Mommy doesnt give me canned food, so why would they think I would eat canned food there.  Anyway, the people at the hospital ordered lunch for staff one day.  So since the vet knew Mommy fed me turkey the other day, she made a tech take turkey lunchmeat out of one of the sandwiches.   So whoever came last fur lunch got a cheese sandwhich with a hint of turkey flavoring ( cause I got to eat their turkey.). Lol

Please keep up some Power of the paw if u can.  I am not feeling right yet. Thanks.

When i came home on Wed 

The latest bloodwork results the vet said some number is high and is worried about possible diabetes. 

I hope the vet is wrong!!!!! What do human know anyway!  (By the way, guess what draw they keep a pay dirt full of treats in.... the very bottom drawerthat even a chiuaua can reach.)

when i came home on wednesday I rolled around in Mommy,s bed. Ben checked out the dog bed.

 

On wednesday by the Christmas tree at the hospital

Right when i was about to leave the hospital on Wednesday.  I barked non stop at the doggies entering the hospital.  I told those doggies, get out of here while u still have the chance.  I have seen what they do in thr back room!

I'm home!!!!!!!

Just a quick note to say I am home from the doggie hospital! 

All your prayers worked!!!!!

I have to take it easy and got lots of medicines to take.

They think I have hepatitis affecting my liver.

Anyway, I will write more about it tomorrow after I rest some.

And I just want to say... I have never been happier to see a snowman snowfreak in my life!  This snowfreak was by the exit of the hospital!  

Love to all of you,

Lassie

Lassie update - Eating and drinking

Lassie's mom here...

The Power of the Paw is really helping!!!!  Keep it up!  Thanks everyone fur your help and positive vibes!

The vet said I could bring something in that I thought Lassie would eat since he is not "eating what they are serving" at the vet office.

The vet said I could bring in turkey lunch meat (and I snuck in treats for him too).

He ate almost a quarter pound of turkey lunch meat!

I gave him a few treats and left the box on the floor.  Lassie took his paw and knocked down he box, cause he wanted more treats!

He had more energy during yesterday's visit than the previous day.  But then he got tired again.


I don't know the results of the xray yet.

The vet said this is a liver problem and probably and infection of the liver as well.

They are treating him with steroids and antibiodics in the IV.


Here are some pictures of the visit yesterday.

Teresa

The treats Lassie spilled out of the box cause he wanted more treats.

Me feeding him some Turkey Lunchmeat

Yum Turkey!

This picture is priceless to me.

Kisses from Lassie.  This picture is priceless to me as well.

Drinking water straight from the bottle!  He was thirsty after all that turkey and treats.

Lassie on IV fluids

Lassie is spending the night at the vet.  He is on an IV in his front leg.  We are waiting to hear more results.  They will let us know more tomorrow.  They are treating this as liver failure for now.  Please keep up the Power of the Paw healing vibes.  We appreciate it.

I "FaceTimed" Benji on the Iphone so Benji could look at Lassie via cell phone when I visited Lassie after work.

POTP for Lassie

Lassie is not feeling well.  Vomiting.  Elevated ALT and bilirubin.

We could use some Power of the Paw healing vibes.

Happy barkday to me

Today is my barkday.  Enjoying some turkey.  Yum

Lassie

Christmas cards

Mommy's nieces helped us make our cards extra pawsome.  They stamped rubber stamps all over the place.   That card on the end had a jackpot of stamps on it cause it was going to Kansas, and one of them is going to be a munchkin in Wizard of Oz.

I confess

I confess.  I Dogtor Lassiter Chase had to go to my collie'g (colleague) the human vet On Halloween and I had to wear the CONE OF SHAME for about 87 days give or take.

The vet had pumpkin socks on Halloween and I wore the hat of my pumpkin costume at the vet office.  Us dogtors have to match Halloween costumes you know.

I didnt know our Blog friend EASY does modeling fur ads at the vet office...lol.

I thought I could fix my hot spot by licking it like crazy...butt the human vet gave medicines and the cone.

There are no pictures of me in the cone.   Mommy promised not to take a picture of it.

So, your Blogville Dogtor needed to see the human doctor and wear a Cone Of Shame, I admit it.  

We should maybe start a Cone of Shame Club.  What do u think?

I tried to snap a selfie picture at my followup visit

Waiting to see my collie'g.

Not a wordless wednesday

Ok its not even wednesday here yet.  Butt anyway Mommy is allowed to yap again butt has to be careful and rest in between.

If u recall, She had speech therapy where she had to be silent for 2 weeks because of a pesky horse in her throat.

Today she got speech excersizes to do and practice phrases to work on all week.

You will never believe what one of her phrases is that she has to say for a WHOLE week.   Brace yourself.... Are you ready....   The phrase is.  ADOPT A KITTEN.

Who wrote this stuff!  Obviously not a dog person.  Lol

Still no yapping fur Mommy

Thank u everyone fur wishing Mommy well. She survived her week of voice rest but unfortunately has to go on another week of voice rest.

I think that acid reflux monster purposely got a horse that thinks its a stubborn mule in Mommys voice.

Anyway us dogs have been yapping loud enough to compensate fur Mommy having to not speak fur so long.

In good news. Benji learned the hand signal fur "Come".   He understands when its time to go outside to go potty.  Yay Ben!

Here is a picture of me, Lassie, yapping with one of our new neighbors.  He is a Golden Doodle.   

I think he is a great great great (87 greats) cousin of our Blogville Mayors Stanley and Murphy.   How cool is that.

Do u see him by the bush/tree on the left.

It was a bush.  Mommy chopped off the bottom branches.  We can visit our new furiends easily now with those branches cut off.

Wordless Week - Horse in the throat

Mommy has to be quiet for one whole week!  (That's like 87 days in dogtime.)

Mommy has that acid reflux monster and it is affecting her voice for months. 

 

Us dogs have barked tons at that acid reflux monster, but it won't seem to go away from her voice.

 

Anyway, Mommy got a second opinion (note: us Dogtor's opinion was first)   anyway the human doctor said fur Mommy to not talk for one whole week to see if it (scares the poop out of the acid reflux monster) helps to heal her horse/hoarse voice.

We have no idea how that acid reflux monster even got that horse in Mommy's voice.

Anyway, Mommy is on day 2 of no speaking. 

 

At least she can still help us blog without talking.


There is one thing that Mommy wishes she would have done when we were puppies.

Benji (the one sticking his tongue out in this selfie) doesn't seem to understand hand signals.   Mommy is having a ruff time getting Benji to understand when it is time to go in the yard.  Since she is not allowed to talk, she is trying to wave him to come to her, but he is confused.

 

Anyway, in hind sight, Mommy should have taught a hand signal to go along with the word "come".

 

Oh well. 

 

 Mommy will understand if there is an accident on the carpet.

 

 

We have new neighbors

We have new dog neighbors! 3 dogs!   They moved in last night in the house behind ours.

Life is good!

No picture to post, we barked up a good introduction welcome to them.  

Now we are taking a power nap!

Cant wait to bark at them really soon!

B L

Guess what?  We got the new licence plate for Cruz-e the car.   The last 2 letters are B L.  

The car has our initials on it.  How pawsome is that.

Benji and Lassie

Ps sorry we havent been around Blogville that much.  Mommy has been issued a warning from us.  Next step is paying us an $87 fine in dog treats.   Mommy promises to pay more attention to blogging this coming week.

Our new car with 87 miles

We got a new car.  Her name is Cruz-e rhymes with Susie.

Mommy almost timed it perfectly, she was headed from a Doctor Appointment to Petco when the car reached 87 miles.  Literally, When she parked it just turned 88 miles.   

We got new collars from Petco to celebrate the new car getting 87 miles on it.

Our new collars vs our old collars.

On Saturday we got to ride in Cruz-e.  Fun!

Lassie

Benji (do u see the Gidget stuffed animal in the door pocket, the stuffie was a present from Mommys niece!)

Moms new coat

Ok our Mommy has lost her mind.   She went and bought a new winter coat in the middle of summer.  It was over 87 degrees and she went to the store that sells coats and got a coat.

Is she nuttier than a squirrel?

She lost 50 pounds and celebrated by buying a new coat.

We think a celebration of that magnitude should involve dog treats.  Just saying.

Mommy is having acid reflux problems so she lost weight to try to help with that.  In any case, we think our Mommy is looking good and we need to get our dog hairs all over that new coat ASAP.

Ernie & Frankie can't decide which ball to use.  Oh no.  Time is running out on the clock!  The game is almost over.   However since the two couldn't decide on a mutual agreement on which ball to use; a mini "court" session was held in the middle of the "Basketball Court."  "Ernie the Attorney" made a great plea for the blue ball to be used, butt in the end it was decided that His Honorable Mop Headedness "Judge Frankie Furter" got to choose which ball he was going to use to shoot the final basket.


  Oh my dog!  In a flash, Frankie changed outfits and  Frankie made a pawsome 87 point shot!  His "tighty-whitey" back end was standing directly under the opponents basketball net... and he stretched his L-O-N-G body, all the way across the entire length of the basketball court, and made a slam dunk into Team Blogville's basket!   Congratulations on that 87 point slam-dunk, Frankie the "STRETCH" Furter!
