Well according to Sis Mia likes it and Frisco does anything Mia does

Vet UPDATE, Flower Friday and TM,SB

We interrupt our regular program for 

BREAKING NEWS

First of all I have GAINED 5 oz since Tuesday.

Today's weight 7.38 lbs...clapping wildly!!!!!!

WooHoo of course 2 hours before my vet visit yesterday the peeps

gave me 100ml of subq fluids. Most ladies don't like being weighed when they are retaining fluid....This gal was glad to have a little fluid retention. MOL Most importantly I have been eating like a 

piggy today.  My vet said my intestines felt a little less swollen but still kinda ropy which can be either IBD or lymphoma.  We are focusing on the positive.

He gave me a slow acting cortisone shot today.  It will help reduce swelling, increase my appetite and water consumption.  It will last about 5-6 weeks.

We 3 seniors will rejoice in each new day and not worry about tomorrow.

AGAIN...we thank you all for your support and loving comments and suggestions.

Now back to regularly scheduled programming

Thoroughly Poetic and Thankful Thursday

Thoroughly Poetic Thursday

Hosted by Angel Sammy Poetry and his brudder Teddy 

Angel Sammy has suggested one of these  I words:

imagine, idiot, iron, icky

I imagine when I was six I thought my life could get no better. 

I was queen of the house which is all that matter.

Mom had a friend who told her she was a blogger
to which mom replied a W H A Ter?

She gave mom her addy, into the WWW she did roam.

She wondered if here we could find a home.  

She looked and she read and she ponder each blog. 

She even became a stalker of one or two

She said Madi ...this I think we can do

After a few icky attempts, with all the kinks ironed out

Just a few months after I was seven

late in the evening she pressed publish.

Live we went on the WWW and hoped what we said was not rubbish.
Mom declared for all to hear I am an idiot 
I should have tried this eons ago!

We never looked back new friends we found.

Here we are eight years later, two senior ladies full of chatter

and mad as hatters.

Today we join Brian and his sibs for

Madi Mom here:

We have a lot to be thankful for always.  

Today we'd especially like to thank every furry buddy and their assistants for all

the  blog shout outs, emails, purrs, Jacquie Lawson ecards
 with koi fishes forming a heart, and purrty cards hand made cards with a red frame and red roses, barks and all around good loving and comfort you bestowed upon Madi when we requested your POTP.  It is amazing how much better you feel when you know you are surrounded by love.

Philosopher Phenny wrote he has an ocean scented candle burning for Madi...because as he said "the ocean is the heart of our planet"!

***********************************************************

I have an update on Madi here

One sentence Wednesday

THANK YOU FRIENDS FOR ALL THE LOVING SUPPORT AND HEALING VIBES!!

Tuesday Tale and Health Update to update

I found a beautiful water fall where I could ponder life,

I tried to make friends but the natives were 

restless...

 I'm really not sure why?

I tried my best to assure them I was friendly.....

*******************************

Dearest friends...I had a recheck at my vet yesterday for my kidney values

They actually were about the same; however, I had kind of a bad weekend with

big tummy distress (in both ways).  So my vet rubbed all over my tummy and 

actually felt that my intestines appeared to be a bit swollen.  There are many

things that could cause this but we are HOPING it is just from all my distress over the weekend.

Another big concern is I have lost some more weight...YIKES. In February at my senior check up I was a tad over 9 lbs.  Yesterday I was 6.5 lbs.  I have not stopped eating one bit..even with my

tummy distress.  Mom says she can handle the kidney stuff if we can just get the intestines

back to normal size and get some weight on me.

My wonderful vet gave me an antibiotic shot Monday (I've had tummy issues before kinda like IBD and the antibiotic solved it) and he gave me a nausea shot.  Mom is supposed to call him tomorrow to let him know how my night went.  If things go well he would like to give me a cortisone shot on

Thursday to help the intestinal inflammation.  Cortisone is not good for kidneys but as mom says we have to pick our battles.  Getting old is not for sissies but my peeps and I are really gonna 

try to nip this mess in the bud and most of all we would greatly appreciate

some POTP.   I'm not laying around doing nuttin, but I'm not 100% either

We truly thank you all from the bottom of our hearts 

Hugs two seniors Madi and Mom
