dr jory gave me a good grade!

oh diary,
i am so happy. i went to see my specialist again on Monday for my monthly check up. I have been feeling so good lately, chewing on my nylabones, wanting to play with finn, playing with finn's squeaky toys..i just feel so much better. So even though i am not happy to visit dr jory and go in the back room alone when mummy and finn wait outside, i know it is something i have to do.

well, dr jory told me i look alot happier and he told mummy the same thing and also that the ulcers in my throat are healing up real nice. they are not all the way healed but they are ALOT better. my throat and my stummy feel better too. i guess the new medicine pills mummy gives me plus that raw rabbit and veggies i get are helping my auto immune disorder.

diary, that made me so happy. i always feel poorly even though i try not to show it. but to feel this good is really really nice. and i like my food too. ALOT. It is way better than that z/d i was eating. i get all kinds of veggies too. mummy made me my favorite, butternut squash, this week. i love that.

and guess what, will is back. i know finn is real happy about it. i am too, but i just like it better when it is me and finn. and sometimes another cavalier that comes to live with us until mummy finds him a furever home. she calls it cavalier rescue. i call it part time brothers and sisters.

well diary, i hope i get a good checkup next month from doctor jory. i got my pills reduced so i am hoping i do not have to end up taking more again.

happy easter diary!

a new food is sometimes hard to digest

hi diary,

i have been trying rabbit and veggies for about three weeks now and have been back to see dr. jory. my stomatitis is not any better but it is not any worse, so dr jory told mummy that i can stay on the rabbit and i have to go back to get rechecked in three weeks. i love the rabbit. mummy switched from the real cut up cooked on the stove where the humans cook rabbit to a rabbit she pulls out of the food box where she keeps all that cold food. she calls it a raw diet. i dont know about that but it is really good. i clean my plate real fast and lick it all clean. she puts in some veggies too for me because i get real hungee because of the pills i have to take.

i have a new medicine too. it is something to replace the one that was not helping me anylonger. mummy says it is for my auto immune to help me not react to all the proteins in the rabbit food. i took it for the first time at dinner. i think it is making my stummy upset but mummy gave me a culturelle pill too. i know that the rabbit is upsetting my stummy. i have to go to the bathroom more often now and it is what mummy says is "mucusy", that means i guess she watches it alot because she analyzes my poopie and then says "i dont want you to get pancreatitis". i dont know i dont like the sound of that. if it is the one where i get real sick and have to get fluids stuck in my neck, then i hope i dont get it.

but all things considered, i do like my rabbit.

I am a BIG BOY now! I am 4 years old!

hello diary,


i just wanted to let you know that i turned four years old! it was very special. mummy and daddy sang happy birthday to me the very first thing in the morning. we were not even out of bed! i wagged my tail the whole time because i knew it was very special!

me and finn are both four now. he is my big little brother and is two days older than me. he had a special pawty on his birthday and i had one too! first, mummy made me a real nice brekkie of rabbit, green beans and carrot. then i got my favorite cookie, ollie b. mummy is "trialing" rabbit. that is what she calls it. my special doctor, dr. jory, told her i could try it to see my auto immune would accept it and not act up. well, i love the taste it is much better than that zd food, but i dont feel as good. my throat is still all red and dr jory says i have to stay on the rabbit until march 5 and see him again. i hope he tells me i can have rabbit. i like it. but i dont know if it likes me.

well, we stayed home for my birthday and i slept alot. but just before dinner, mummy took me and finn and the 'puter outside and she started playing with us. finny had his frisbee and i had my favorite ball. we played for a long time! i enjoyed it! and the invisible blow machine was blowing all the trees about and we were sniffing the air blowing in our faces too. mummy said it was real windy. that is what she called it.

and for dinner, i got a special rabbit. it was like real. mummy deboned it and cut it all up and put it on those pans she makes food in and the kitchen smelled real good. i got to eat that rabbit with some sweet potato. it was real real good. then we had our little pawty with a special cake that played music, i had a bandana on that said i was a birthday boy! and i got pressies of a squeak toy, ollie b's and pumpkin and clove squares. then there was the special CAKE! mummy had it made so i could be allowed to eat it. and did i eat it. it was so good. i had a full stummy after i ate that. i drank some water and laid down. i was thinking how happy i am with my mummy and daddy, and even finny. i am so lucky to be with my mummy and dads and i am so happy that they chose me to be with them. i love them so much. happy birthday to me! Skye

I had a big scare

Me and my brother Finn got our teeth cleaning done this past week. I did real good and got a good report. But Finn did not. He had teeth pulled out. I also had to get something removed from above my eye. They keep calling it a tumor. I dont have it anymore and my vet man told mummy it would be okay. it was be nine. mummy said it is benign but it sounds like be nine to me. I am not nine I am only three, but i will be four on the 23rd. Maybe mummy is confused?

Anyway, the vet man had to keep us all day because I require special attention as I always feel poorly and they wanted to make sure I was alright.

I was so glad to see mummy, but then when we got home something was wrong. I ate my dinner and it was so good but then i was crying as i hurt so bad. I could hardly move or get up and stand. I heard mummy talking to me but i was just so scared. i heard her call the vetman (his name is dr. jory, that is his first name but i know he has a last name, but everyone calls him dr. jory). Dr Jory told her that it sounded like i was having a reaction to the pain medicine as it was wearing off. I could not stand to be touched. Mummy carried up to the bed and i cried the whole way. laying down even hurt. that last from monday to early wednesday morning. i saw dr jory again on wednesday afternoon and by then i was all fine. dr jory told mummy that i can never again have certain pain meds called opiates. well you know i do not want them. they are fine when they are working, but when they wear off they make me hurt and i cannot stand or walk either. i was scared and so was mummy. but i am okay now because alot of nice people and furs prayed for me and i have a real good vet man and mummy.

i hope that i get something good for my birthday too. i know finn (dont call him toothless, he gets mad), is already all excited about his birthday on the 21st (he will be four too) but he dont know that he will be seeing dr jory on his birthday to get his mouth checked and i get my toomor stitches out.

my heart is heavy. RIP dearest Poppy

love and licks to you dear angel p. you are missed but never forgotten. give sweet amber and angel em a big hug from me.

with all our love,
skye and finn

Today I am Three!!

Oh Diary,

Guess what, I am three years old today. Wow. I am no longer a little boy, but a grown up. I even asked my girl Fergie to be mine this Valentine Day and she said yes and wears my diamond heart I gave her.

And today is Fergie's birthday too. That makes my birthday extra special diary.

Mummy sang Happy Birthday to me this morning while we were still in bed and I was so happy, my tail wagged the whole time. I think Finn thought it was for him again, but nope, it was FOR ME!

Then Mummy made me a carrot and z/d brekkie and I got a special cookie. She whispered to me that I get a special cake tonight that I can actually eat and will not make me sick! I am just drooling thinking about it diary. And then mummy will take pictures and "post" them. Dont know what that means but it must be a good thing.

Oh diary, daddy is not home this week but I hope he calls tonight and talks to me, I want to tell him about this special day! Gran's cavaliers, Cassie Girl and Winston AND Gran are coming over today too. Just for me. Finn did not have guests on his birthday! Well, mummy says that they are coming over to get bathed, but it is just as good.

Oh and Diary, maybe me and Finn will not get yelled at today if we go "cattin'". After all, it is my favorite sport and it is my birthday!

Diary, I am just so very lucky to have found my furever home and love my mummy and dads (and Finn) to bits!!

He Thinks HE is Special, Just Wait..

Finn thinks he is all top dog since it is his birthday today and he is three.

Well, he is being treated all special today and getting hugs and lots of lap time with mummy. She keeps telling him what a special boy he is.....what about me??? I am special too.

I am a little jealous, i know. But I know that MY woofday is this Wednesday, and then I shall be treated royally. And my fiancee, Lady Fergie, she has the same woofday I do too. That makes it even more special.

Well, I shall let him have his special day as he lays on mummy snoring away...but come Wednesday, I shall have my special day with mummy too!

I was to a dog show!

Dear Diary,
Guess what. Me and Finn and mummy and dads got to go a hotel where they had a cavalier show! Gran and Cassie went to get Cassie's heart checked at the clinic and she got lady pants too. And her picture taken.

Me and Finn were watching the show from the sidelines with dads. Mummy was something called a gate steward and lined up people and dogs all the time. I got to stay next to dads on my blankie and finn, well he wanted to smell everyone and everydog. i watched these auction tables and guarded them too for mummy. finn whined a couple of times for mummy but that only meant that dads took us outside then!

And diary, guess what. I saw miss brenda and miss paula and miss sue. And Robbie P and Georgie Girl too! I stayed with them at miss sue's house. We got to stay in a hotel room too. I love hotel beds. and i love to eat in a hotel too. mummy gave me a teeny tiny bit of yogurt and she should not have but it tasted sooooo good. but i paid for it on sunday afternoon. i was feeling lethargic because of the yogurt. I guess i should really not eat that. but i slept under the one auction table so no one noticed me. finn, he helped mummy collect the money for the auction at the check out. he was the accountant. that is what they were calling him. sitting on a chair with his two front paws on the table.

but the best part diary was the hotel room. i loved the king sized bed and all of us had lots and lots of room to sleep!

we had a small vacation

well diary, we spent a whole week with a bunch of cavaliers! five of them and 6 pups. I could not believe that there were so many of us in one place all the time. Mummy was not there, but their mummy was there. I made furiends with all the cavaliers, Robby P, Morgan, Jackson, Georgie Girl, Peyton and her puppies.

I had fun and got to sleep on miss sue's bed too. but you know i am so glad to be home diary...i slept all day yesterday. and today was more like normal for me. i like normal. Finny is all happy to be home too.

i love my mummy.

early riser

gosh i got breakie early today.

not that it is a bad thing. i wonder if i will get fed again at regular breakie time?

i dont know diary. plus we took dads to that place where he goes with his rolly bag this morning. he is not here to play with us, just mummy and she usually means business.

well, i am going to rest. it is still night outside. i need to wait for the light.
