SKendall, can you get Peggy to the emergency vet? We have a horrible track record with that med here in the states, as well! Please get her to the vet ASAP. I'm so sorry this is happening!

[Rusty]

SKendall-so sorry to hear about Peggy!! How awful! Can your vet give her something to counteract the effects?

Fenny, you are NEVER a bummer...you are always kind...no matter what is going on in your life..you always sincerely inquire about the happiness/unhappiness of others. You are a blessing to all of us!! Good for you for talking Mrs. Fen into coming home, and sooo sorry about your poor kitty.

Hi Pauly! I've been done with the monthly bill situation since I had a hysterectomy in 2000. Life without a period is heaven. Thanks for popping in...I miss you when you don't post!

MAMA!! Where are you??

Hugs to Liz, Nora, Blue, Addy and everyone else!

Nora, you are going to be in my step tomorrow. I am consulting for a company that wants to get certified in the medical devices field. Not only do I HAVE to wear a hair net (shower cap) on the floor, but they don't allow false eyelashes (they might fall into the device). All I have to say is BOO HISS!!! Hahahah

SK - I am so sorry about your dear dog. I have never heard of this before. This is awful that it is still being sold.

Rusty - Oh good, glad I'm going to be with you tomorrow. It sounds like it's going t be interesting.

Fen - I am so sorry for everything you are going thru. I am very glad that you found the financial info that you need though. I know you want to talk to Mrs Fen first but please, please make sure that everything is looked at before you sign anything.

Mama - are you still on your business trip?

Pauly - I'm sorry. Women's monthly stuff is the pits!

Dottie - I'm so glad that you are having a good time. You just enjoy!

Liz - how are you doing?

Cowboy - so glad that Bubba introduced you to Perry.

Blue - how are you doing?

Addy - are you on a trip? I can't remember where I saw that.

Nothing much going on here. Another heat wave but what else is new. It'll be fine as long as another fire doesn't break out.
Guess I'm going to cruise around here for a bit........

Hey all
had a first date with new fellow tonight. Since Dave and Jerry are toast I am branching out again. I like Paul but not sure I want to put all my eggs in one basket. New fellow is retired, likes to dance and lives about 10 minutes from me. Also has a Harley. We might go dancing on Sunday. He likes to swing dance so hope we can connect on that. I will need to watch the heels on my dance shoes as he is a little shorter than I would like. But he has potential. Name is Jim for anyone who wants to update the spread sheet....LOL

[Lizann]

Wow, two very sick pets! How very sad! Skendall I agree can you get her to an emergency vet? Thanks for the FYI.
Fen, I'm so sorry to hear about the cat. How old is she? I'm glad Mrs. Fen is coming home.
Fen, you are not a Bummer. I for one am glad your back, I'm just sorry for what's going on in your life right now. I tend to be a bit of a loner myself, I'm glad you found someone to talk to. After your post today I am a bit more hopeful that you and Mrs fen can come to a mutual resolution.
Dottie, I agree with rusty, if he's talking about how much money he has Id be suspicious too. Something sounds off there. Plenty of other fish in the sea.
Rusty, I am so sorry about the eyelashes tomorrow! And a hair net? UGH! But I guess it pays those bills. I'll think of you tomorrow when I get my nails did!
Mama is away at budget camp somewhere. Poor thing, another long week for her.

[Lizann]

Pauly, sorry your not feeling well. Better days ahead!
Nora, how are you doing?
Good night guys, off to read a bit before bed.

[Lizann]

Dottie cross post, yay on the new guy. Sounds like a lot of things in common. Living close is a huge bonus I would think.
You have me laughing with the spread sheet. Maybe I'll do that instead of coloring!

[NoraC]

Rusty, I am so sorry about the eyelashes tomorrow! And a hair net? UGH! But I guess it pays those bills. I'll think of you tomorrow when I get my nails did!

:rotlf: :rotlf:

Jim sounds in the lead Dots I'm so glad you are enjoying all these boytoys haha

[SKendall]

Hi again. I did take her to an emergency vet, but apparently no vet was there(?). They recommended I go back to the vet where I purchased the Trifexis. I'll go tomorrow as they close at 5, but was trying to avoid the 45 min drive there as she is so wobbly, but will do that tomorrow.

I took her to the park with no expectations, but she responded a little and we sat in a gazebo for about an hour and I feel hopeful about that. We are home now and she ate a little grilled chicken and has conked out again. Still very poorly but feel a little better.

In the reports of other dogs, there is little they can do except blood work and rehydration. She is still drinking water and I will get blood work done tomorrow. There has been one holistic antedote which is milk thistle and dandelion oil, which indicates the liver suffered some damage.

I'll see what the regular vet says tomorrow and then talk to our holistic vet in town.

Thanks for the responses.

Praying for Peggy

[SKendall]

Thank you.

[Rusty]

Good Morning, It's 5:10 AM here and I have been up since 4:00, working! :-) I was feeling ill yesterday for some odd reason and didn't accomplish a lot so I'm trying to make up for lost time now.

SKendall-:hug:Please keep us posted on Peggy. We all love animals here.

Nora and Lizz-One of the products this company makes is plastic tampon applicators.....so I guess I would be freaked out if my monthly bill came, I pulled out a tampon from the box, and found a gel nail or a clump of eyelashes in it! Hahaha. Anyway, before I knew they made those applicators, I saw one just lying on the floor near the ladies restroom and I commented to my male client..."wow, looks like one of your production people, um, decided to take her applicator with her onto the shop floor!" He laughed and said, "we make those here." Oooooppppps....mea culpa! I've decided that I will wear rubber gloves instead of having no nails. Without my nails, my hands look like paws because they're tiny...and without my lashes, my eyes look like beady gerbil eyes. I guess I will wear swim goggles to protect my lashes. HAHA. Not. They have to come off. BOO HOO!

Pauly-since your monthly visitor is still with you, be extra careful!! Let me know if you find any foreign objects. JUST KIDDING!!

Ok, hellos to everybody else. I have to get the day started! I will be back later.

[Dottie Belle]

Morning all,
Busy day ahead. Need to buy a new bra to get the girls up where they belong. I have lost so much weight that my underwear is too big. Want to look hot in case I get lucky.....LOL
Going to go with my bff to look at adult day care for her husband. He has Parkinsons and cant be left alone. So sad to watch him. He was so intelligent and funny and now he looks like a zombie a times.
Also need to visit my dad....
Jim, new guy sent me a text first thing this morning. Wants to meet later...not sure where to fit him in...LOL

[fennel]

Geez Dots...you are a busy bee!

SK, I hope Peggy feels better soon.

Went with Mrs. Fen to get the kitty's ultrasound done. Good news is that she does not have cancer. The bad news is that she has pancreatitis, but will now be on steroids to reduce the inflammation and increase (hopefully) her appetite. On the way home, Mrs. Fen began rambling on about how lonely it was to come home to the house after her late night focus group last week- then proceeded to bitch that my being out of the house didn't really matter, since I didn't stay up late to wait for her on those occasions anyway. Then she asked when I was going to hurry up and sign the filing papers, as she wants to file for divorce before she starts dating again.

Then she asked if I wanted her to tell me when she starts dating. I said "Sure J...do you want me to help choose an outfit for you on your date and make a romantic card for her too?" I was crying. Then, I said "Would you like to know if I'm dating or falling in love?" She said "Sure". I said that I doubted that. This is the woman who was jealous because some lady from the Kingdom Hall sent me pamphlets! Ugh.
