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.
Hope that horse skidaddles soon. We've all been trained with voice and hand signals....as much as we have been trained.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I think my momma would just learn to live with the horse. She couldn't go quiet for a whole week!!! We have hand signals for a few commands, like sit, stay, and park it.
ReplyDeleteOh nose! Hopefully she will better soon!
ReplyDeleteGet well soon Momma, hope that horse clip pity clops away
ReplyDeleteI find it easy to ignore hand signals just as well as words…this Princess goes her own way, hehe
Loves and licky kisses

Our Mom is always horse too - she had Sjogrens Syndrome and doesn't make enough saliva or tears so she has constant dry throat and eyes
ReplyDeleteHope your Mom gets the horse out of her throat soon. I'm sure you'd know a hand sign for come if the hand had a cookie in it!
ReplyDeleteI don't think my momma would last 1 hour wifout talkin.
ReplyDeleteI hope so much that your mama can win that 1 week challenge and the reflux monster will run over all hills. Hugs and potp to your mom. btw: my mama would never be able to spend one week without talking...she even talked while the dogtor told her to be silent for a SECOND :o)
ReplyDeleteHope your mum feels better now. It must be really bad for that to happen.

oh no!! Mom can't talk for one whole week? My Mom would die! Hoping she feels better soon!!! xoxo DakotasDen
ReplyDeleteHope your mom's voice is better soon. I have so many students this year who don't speak any English. I'm becoming quite the charades player! I bet your mom will be unbeatable after this week too :)
ReplyDeleteOur mom has had troubles with this before. She got erosions on her throat (they scoped it) and then they healed and then they came back so she had to heal them again. She USED to take Nexium, then changed to Acidephex (sp?) BUT now that the studies say there is an increase in dementia related to PPI drugs so she stopped taking them. So we are hoping that sleeping with the bed elevated (an adjustable bed) along with stop eating after 7pm and a failure to lose 10 pounds will make things better. BUTT she could never stop speaking! Good luck!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Wow! I hope your Mommy's voice is all better now and that horse has galloped far away!
ReplyDeleteOh no....my mom could never keep her mouth shut that long...we sure do hope it works miracles your your mom is feeling better lickety split....
ReplyDeleteas for the socks our next door neighbor once told me she only buys back socks and footies for her children all the same style boys and 1 girl.LOL
my typist meant black socks and footies not back. MOL
ReplyDeleteWOW is anyone taking odds on this because I think it is a long shot and I want to put some money down that your Mommy won't be able to keep from talking. Lee has Eosinophilic Esophagitis ~ oh heck we just call it EE which is a chronic immune system disease so sometimes my Lee sounds like she has a horse down there also. Have they scoped your Mommy's throat?
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
