It is Caley's turn.

Caley had a lump (she has several actually) that was Vet checked as they all are about 6 months ago. Last weekend I noticed the boys snuffing her side and when I looked the lump was all ulcerated and oozing.. So Dr. Paula checked out and it needs to come off. So since we are taking this one off there are two more that are fatty tumors that are going to be removed at the same time.

Here is a pic of the nasty one.  Tomorrow morning they will all be gone..

The latest news on Simon is that he is still not peeing the way he should be. His meds have been changed around a bit. He will pee small amounts and he never empties his bladder. Hoping the med change will help but no difference yet.

Vet Visit

We had a fine needle aspirate done of the lump and vet feels sure it is a fatty tumor. It however is located in a bad spot that can grow into the muscle and interfere with walking etc so if it grows much bigger that thing is coming out. It is in the same place Buddy's was ( his was huge ) and he had surgery several times and it took months to heal.. So I will keep a close eye on it and if that thing gets any bigger out it comes..

New Stuffy's

It has been raining all day here so I went out with Emma and we picked out new stuffy's for the furkids. We got them for 25 cents a piece at frenchies. They loved them, you can just see Tramp staying out of the way on the chest.. smart cat..  Caley and Raider tugged and tugged..

and tugged..

and tugged some more

Opps we lost one...

I think I am starting to see a pattern here... But they had so much fun.. One stuffy survived to be tugged another day.. hmm two arms are missing now, I hope Chauncy did not devour them....how soon does the vet clinic open.. now I need to go look for those arms.

Wonderful Fall Day with the Furkids.

Caley is looking pretty good here. She is really active for a 10 yr old but has started to slow down and put on weight this last yr.. almost 10lbs.. So in for a checkup and blood work.. it was all perfect. So we decided to try metacam to see if that would help. It has made a big difference, she is like a puppy again.. She must have some achy joints.. So we need to get the extra weight off and hopefully that will help too. It kind of snuck up on us.

Raider as always checking stuff out to see if it's edible.. He would not want to miss something.

Raider watching a deer, and deciding if he is going to hold his stay or give chase.. He held it..

It's my stuffy and no one can have it.. Chauncy was even worried Mom was going to take it, I kept telling him I have my own.

I know the deer went this way..

The END

Turkey Day!

Well it's really Thanksgiving but to the furkids it's Turkey day... They always get turkey ( don't worry they get nice lean meat, no skin and the drippings they get have the fat removed.) I am not looking for any more vet visits as much as I like my vet..
They are now all napping peacefully..

Caley has her favorite chair all to herself.

Raider is sharing HIS couch with his brother Chauncy for now..


Raider managed to get HIS couch all to himself. Mind you he did leave me a little room.

Getting it right..

It is so tough to get a good picture of all three dogs with me in the picture.. My patient son in law has helped me out several times. Good thing the pictures are digital. They are never looking in the same direction, someone always is yawning, licking their lips or somewhere else or getting up to go give Steven a kiss or picking at each other... Anyway I am about to give up, but here is one from today... What do you think? A good looking crew or what...

The Winners are!

These are the two pictures I am sending in for the 2010 Addison Dogs Calendar .. pretty handsome boy if I must say so..

Swimming at Crescent Beach

Emma and I took Raider and went to Crescent Beach. They both had a blast. He would chase balls in the water all day. There were lots of other dogs but he could not have cared less. Mom brought the ball and the chucker, so he was in heaven.

Looking Better

Well another dressing change behind us and hopefully we get through the weekend without a vet visit. He goes back Monday. He has that spark back in his eyes. Poor boy now has an ear infection on top of everything. Because of a friend ( Big Thanks =D ) I now have lots of good journal info on Mast cell treatment including the new drug Palladia.. It's not available in Canada yet but I feel better being prepared. My highlighter will be busy today.
