Ooooooooops whose a naughty boy!!

oh oh I think I have done it now ... see .... my present arrived yesterday from my secret santa and mom was so excited she let me sniff it and everything ... anyhows ... she then decided to put it in a safe safe place and put it onto the top shelf of her shelving unit in the dining room ......

Well see .... whilst mom was in bed i had to come down and sneak a peak and a sniff or two... just to make sure it was still there .... you know it is GSD thing to patrol and ensure that all is safe and well in my castle ... i had too ... just had too ... after i had ensured all was well with the perimeters i got to the unit and that is when that rockaroonie was whispering in my ear that if i stood up on my back legs I would be able to sniff it more ... so i did ... anyhow thats when it happend .... I accidently knocked it off!!

Well there it is sat on the floor screaming at me to OPEN it ..... i tried and tried to resist and thought just smell it instead ... so i sniffed, nudged sniffed some more and before i knew what was a happening all the toys had just fallen out and tumbeled onto the floor I dont know how it happened HONEST and i pawmise it wasnt me ......

Well of course mom came down to find shredded white stuff all over the floor .... she followed the trail and that was when she caught me .... sat there with my new kong, frisbie and hardecore floating firehose ...... looking a little GUILTY i might add too!

Of course i tried to explain to mom it was just an ACCIDENT but i dont think she believes me.... Of course I also tried to blame the rooster but mom said she knows his stumpy legs would not get him that high ... **SIGH** I am in sooooo much trouble now!

To my SS I am sooooo sorry this unfortunate incident has happened ... and i know i wrote and asked if i could open them early and everything but you have to BELIEVE this big old galloot that this was just a pawriffic accident ... . and THANK YOU soooooooooooooo much for all my wooferful gifts .... mom will upload some piccies for you so you can see me with my new toys xx

Yours truly

Santas bad boy xx

A loving thought from a loving friend....

We wanted to share you with you this beautiful poem that one of our very dear friends wrote for me ...... Flecken ....... you truly are a wonderful pup and have such a talent ....... Watch out that Nobel Prize may just be yours xxx

My Sabre pal, so sad you're sick...
You need some raw squirrel-on-a-stick!
It'll fix you up and make you better,
then once again, we'll play together.

Your Fundawg pals all wish you well.
Much more than words could ever tell.
Please take our love and get well quick
We really hate it when you're sick.

Your mom and kids and Rocky,too
All need the love they get from you.
So please don't think of leaving now
Or else we all will have a cow!

Stay strong my pal, and this will pass
(no Rocky...I'm not talking gas!)
We're here for you through thick and thin
Until you are all well again.

So eat your squirrel, and know you're loved.
Furangels watch you from above,
and Fundawgs watch you here on Earth...
please know how much your life is worth

to all your family and your friends.
Our love for you, it has no ends.
No better friend could e'er be found...
we really hope you stick around.

So that's the message from me to you....
I'll do whatever I need to do
to help you make it though this time.
(I hope that you've enjoyed your rhyme!)

Its my Birfday today

Woof Woof ... its my 2nd birfday today and am I a lucky boy, not only have I been blessed by having a truly wonderful forever home.... I have got so many truly wonderful friends here on Dogster who are celebrating my birfday too, I cant believe the amount of pmails I have had and the birthday wishes posted on the thread our dear friend Portos created.

Then to truly make my day... the beautiful Dutchess (97106) made me my very own birfday card, and you all know that I am truly head over heels in love with this lady, so to have me and Dutchess in the same picture my heart is doing somersaults!! It made me so happy I asked Ductchess and her mom if I could copy it to my page and they agreed, thank you Dutchess and pack we love ya xx

Well I got to dash mom is picking up my friend and me, RR and bud are off for a birthday walk he he xxxx

oh it so itches!!

Well guys, as you know I had to have an operation a few days ago, they thought I had Lymphoma ... on opening my poor belly they said that the Lymph nodes appeared normal and there was no obvious signs of tumour ... woof woof that is so good hey?

But they have taken Biopsies from my Liver, Kidney and small intestines (6) from the small intestine to be precise!! The results should be back this Monday at the latest.. I have nearly 40 staples going up my belly and cooor do they itch!! I now have to wear a stupid lamp shade to stop me licking my wounds ... and stop me from going through doors, and up the stairs and so on ... I hate the thing but mommy says it for the best xx

All that said Im sooooo glad to be home, and cannot believe the support off everyone me and my family have recieved over the last week from all you wonderful dogster fans out there xx

Oh and bro.... keep your mucky paws off my cookies or I swear your sooooo gonna get it woof woof!!

How do I cheer mum up?????

Well, I went back to the vets yesterday, the blood tests that they did checking for another auto immune disease came back negative ...

Which really made mum happy! But now the vets are wanting to check for other things. As you know I have been really unwell for about 9 weeks, test after test, treatment after treatment, they eventually ran something called a TLI test which confirmed I have something called Exocrine Pancreatic Insufficiency together with Small Intestinal Bacterial Overgrowth. But with all that said I still have symptoms that dont fit either illness... So they ran more test to check for a different disease, well like I said that has come back negative Yippee!!

Now though because all these "other" symptoms that are still there, some getting worse, the vet I saw yesterday (not my usual Jamie) agrees with Jamie that my symptoms fit Liver problems... They think it could be Lymphoma.. Mum burst into tears on the spot.. Mum has been fighting an operation that they have been wanting to do for the last 6 weeks as she says Im not stable enough to undergo major surgery yet.

The vet was really good with mum and really took the time to explain what it would mean, and to try to ease mums mind instead of going straight under the knife they said they would run some further tests first. Again they explained in detail what these tests involved and what the outcome is likely to be...

Just as I was beginning to think we had set up camp in the surgery it was agreed that I could come home for the weekend and go back on monday!!

Mum is not allowed to feed me from Sunday evening onwards .... much to my disgust... dont tell her but ive got loads of pigs ears and stuff hidden under plants in the garden he he!! They are hidden as mum yells if I dig!!

They are gonna do blood tests whilst ive been starved, then some after an injection, then more after I have been fed (at last) then some more detailed ultra sounds... after all that possibly an operation to take biopsy's, and if there is a tumour maybe even remove it. Did you know a dog can live with only 30% of their Liver!!

Anyway enough of the doom and gloom haha ... my worry is mum, how do I get that great smile back and stop the tears? I love her sooooo much and hate to see her like this.

Woof Woof!!

Well mum dragged me to the vets again ..... Apparantly where I had been on the Metro, and for over 8 weeks, it had built up toxins in my system. This, the vet said explained the drunk like walking and falling up the stairs. Mum had already withdrew the Metro on the Vets advice on the phone and the decision was made to keep me off them now.

All the horrible effects I was experiencing have now completely gone, and the vets say there will be no long term damage!! Which I am really pleased about .... how would I have impressed all these beautiful girls if I looked as though I was constantly drunk.. haha!!

Well mum has to take me back on Friday, just for another check up with regard to the EPI, and hopefully there will be the results waiting from my last lot of blood tests....

I do hope so cause mum is really worried, I try to keep her chin up though with all my love and cuddles.

GOOD NEWS!

Mum has spoken with the vets ...... Here I go again!

The vet thinks it is more likely a build up of toxin from the Metronidazole (antibiotic) which I have been on now for about 8 weeks. He has told her to stop these immediatley and yes you guessed it .... I have got to go back to the vets to be seen!!!!

At least though they can give me something else to help me get better and it is not the enzyme replacement that I so desperatley need... The other good thing is mum can now stop checking her wine supply..... I did tell you mum I dont like the stuff ha ha!!

Mum thinks im drunk!

Mum has been up all night worrying about me. Yesterday I fell UP the stairs twice!, she says that when I walk I look as though I am a little drunk all wobbly and that!

At first mum thought it must be part of this EPI and SIBO thing the Vet says I have, but after talking to one of the support groups designed for these illnesses it became apparant it is more likely to do with the tablets I am on..

Im not sure if this is a good thing though cause 2 tablets I have been on I have been on for weeks and no side effects occured. Which made mum wonder if it was the Lypex (enzyme replacement) which I have been on for 3 days now. I hope it isnt, because these are the ones I really need in order to survive this condition!
