Sept 01, 2011

GOOD MORNING
NOW FOR THE POOP CONSISTANCY REPORT
 
THE PUP'S ARE ABSOLUTELY BEAUTIFUL  2 PIECES OF CARDBOARD WILL PICK UP 3 DEPOSITS.
 
WITH AN ADDED BONUS OF THE "SICK" PUP WHO MANAGED TO ELIMINATE  WHATEVER SHE ATE IN A FAIRLY TIDY PUDDLE.
THAT COULD HAVE BEEN ALOT WORSE...
*****
SHE IS 100% NOW... BUT...
I SENT THIS OUT 7PM LAST NIGHT TO THE PEOPLE WHO WERE DEALING WITH THE LETHARGIC "PINK" 
*************
not sick as in ill-- just doesn't feel good--
 
no temp etc but not right-- so karen and i took her to georges
he was not there- but one of the vets i like was and we dealt-
 
did exam- nothing
no temp
so an xray revealed -- probably some string of foreign material-- like sand/pebbles/ a chewed up bone  etc
 
dehydrated
a belly ache was assumed
 
so she put her on fluids--300cc lump and sent the rest home with us.
 
she started drinking when jackie was here
and has continued to drink a considerable amount-
 
she is just wandering the living room/office-
 
no bowel movement ( we are expecting/ hoping for  projectile
 
and she did eat 1/4 can of food-- by spoon--
 
so she is looking better-- but not 100% yet -- maybe 50%
 
that was last night-- she is 100%now  and playing very actively with the 3 house pups ( with the hats)-- and is typically starving...
*******************
on the topic of illness-
maria called- this is a thing i have seen before- but can not remember the outcome/or remedy?? GEORGE??
 
her dane has taken to screaming-- as in pain- and running from the room if someone approaches--- even someone she knows.-- maria has poked and prodded her entire body and can not get any response.
 
moves fine-- eating drinking etc...OTHERWISE NORMAL
 
i have seen this before
when it happened the first time we assumed cervical or some strange shingles---- and because it was so severe we put the pup down-
 
and then it happened to bailey-  and we paid a little more attention.- 
 i think we put her on doxy  for lack of anything else to do---and in a few days she had stopped screaming  making us think it was lyme.
 
it has happened to one or two more-  the seemingly unprovoked scream-
 
??george???  any input???
**************************
 
NOW.... TODAY...
i can not imagine after many ours of plane and car travel there will be much left of megan-- so anyone who could give a hand today again -- she would probably appreciate it.
******
and maybe i can get  the floor on the new nut house done.
 
that is a really ambitious goal -- so maybe not the whole thing today.
/**********
appleton farms office called about borrowing mary for their farm day--i responded by email suggesting that they swap a considerable amt of veggies to give to our volunteers who have been giving mary carrots the other 51 sundays in a year.
****************
 
go      and buy a brick for our chicken sh#t next sunday--
 
because megan got stuck in california-- and bud2 is wandering around having a good time with indy-- we may not have a live camera  sh#tting-- but we certainaly can send out a bulk email to everyone with the winning number..-  i practiced that  bulk email technique this morning ---
 
with not all the numbers sold  the odds are even more favorable to win the $500-  we have made almost enough money to pay for septembers dog food bill.
 
you have no idea how wonderful that would be to be able to do that !!!!
 
 
go tell more friends---
 
and keep that cut up cardboard coming
