Rainbow Bridge . . .

Fleder has lost his year long battle with first started out as a Distemper diagnosis, then never recovered, by the end of this battle, he had a failing kidney, failing liver and a failing pancreas and signs of cancer, he shouldn't have even still been living, but he was, and like a true aztec warrior, he was brave til the end. He's in a better place now, and I hope he will come visit me in my dreams. . . I hope to see him again in his youthful strong form. He was a great dog, and I was glad to be his servant for his short time on this earth.

dealin w/ it

just when i thought it was time to stop taking the medicine;
it was,
but then
i was still coughing
and no energy.
Now, I'm still on the antibioticals
(E.P. has to shove them in my throat, ugh, they are gross)
still on the stuff in the syringe(no needles, ai, that'd be all pulp fiction, no thanks)
but i feel better
i eat like i used to
except i don' like the dry kibble
it's cold
I'm frisky
Distemper is a mean cat let me tell you
like one you find in your yard
and instead of running
it just rears up
hissses
an swats at you
for what
just because I want to say hi and sniff it's but
i grew up with a cat
we snuggled
i know the way of the feline
me and 'dusty bottoms'
we're cool
he's a freak though
running and hiding
oh he's fat too
haha
in that little tuxedo fur
boy
it's cold
i weesh i 'ad me some fur
i do have a nice new sweater though
eets argyle
i thing that means it was once alligator fur or something
well
I'm going to burrow into my blankets now
bye bye

Distemper, mis-shtemper

My frenz, I have all but regained mi full abilities as a dog, I am as my owner says 92%. I'm not sue what this means from a man who is proud of being a 1%er. None the less, with all the force feeding, good drugs, mucho amore; I have prevailed. no strange paralysis, no seizures, nothing but a strange trip. It waas something that if i have to do all over again; i would pray to the big wolf in the sky to please no no no i don' wan' to! - Don Flederino! Gracias!

Not a good Start

Forgive me my fellow pooches, I am not well
for the last two weeks(human time)
I have been reduced to a limp bag of wet dog food
i can not get up
i have no energy
and my legs
when i can get them under me
do not work like they used to
i don't want food
(Imagine ME, not wanting food)
not mine
not theirs
not even the cats food
i want not even water
I'm on medicine
and i lay
and I wait
i hear that it may last for weeks
they also talk of the rainbow...
no
not yet my friends
for I Don Flederino
am not a coward
I am alpha canine
I have to Protect my human keeper's home
who will do that
the two gatos downstairs
no no no no
I think not.
I think I will rest a bit more and get back to my normal self
shees
as hot as my fever is you would think they sent me back down to mexico
so fear not my friends
for i will be in touch with yous
