The Beautiful Flower In The Wind

Daisy Daisy,

We are cheering you on.

The wind needs your kisses

and the sun needs your smiles.

Get well soon, dear.

~ Your Aunt Birdie ~

Note from Missy:

Thanks, Birdie, for the constant support,

for always being there.

Please Get Well, Jie Jie

My jie jie is ill. It started with what Missy thought was jie jie retching. Thinking it was a case of indigestion or gas, Missy offered jie jie acidophilus and charcoal in turn. But the ‘retching’ just got worse. Soon, jie jie stopped eating and playing altogether. Missy took jie jie to the vet on Monday and ordered a comprehensive blood test. Everything came out normal and Missy and jie jie went home. But jie jie just got worse and worse. She would ‘retch’ up to 3-4 times an hour. So on Saturday, Missy took jie jie to the vet again. This time, the vet heard jie jie. It turned out jie jie hadn’t been retching at all, she was coughing! The X-ray showed that jie jie’s lungs are amassed with fluids and possibly blood and pus too. The vet said jie jie’s condition is serious.

Jie jie is now on antibiotics and a diuretic to drain the fluids off her lungs. The folks are keeping her very quiet by restricting her to her recovery area.

It is now Monday and jie jie has lost control of her bladder about 7 times. Thank God for pee pads!

We are all very sad and worried at home. Jie jie is still doing poorly. She refuses food and has gone down so much her spine and ribs are showing. Jie jie, always a little on the tubby side, has never looked like this before.

Jie jie in her recovery area

If anyone has any idea how to make my jie jie eat, or more comfortable, or get better, please let my Missy know.

Please get well soon, jie jie!

Love love,

~ your adoring mei mei ~

Babysitting Nicole

It's tiring babysitting Cuzzie Nicole. Luckily Pudel was around to help so I could sneak a little nap.

But it's all worth it when Cuzzie Nicole gives me lots and lots of 'muacks'!

Muacks,

At The Railroad

Each time Missy passes by the railroad on her way to work, she thinks how nice it would be to take us there and have some outdoor shots taken.

The pictures turned out all right. But, we shall never go back there again.

We are lucky to live to tell this story.

Here's what happened:

Missy had thought that she would be able to hear the train come chugging and have some time to get us out of the way. But when it did come, it came more suddenly and faster than anticipated and left Missy with little time to react. She had let us roamed and we were some way ahead of her. As the train came charging at us, Missy could only scream our names and watched helplessly, carrying the greatest fear in her heart, as we took our brush with D. Eventually, we were saved by our own instincts as we bolted out of harm's way in time. It was truly a close call.

From Missy,

"I'm sorry, my precious babies.

I will never, ever take a chance like this again.

I love you, very much, and I want to have you by my side

for many good years to come."

Celebrating life,

~ Daisy & Waverly ~

Nicole The Terror

Nicole was here today and we're terrified of her! Well, not her per se but she and her monster of a walker! Look ye here and see how the duo waltzed about with nary a care for our little paws!

What?! Now we have to mind our steps in our own abode?

Grumbles,

~ Daisy & Waverly ~

New Steamer

About a month or two back (that's how slack our secretary Missy has been with our updates), Missy bought us a new steamer so that we can have our meals cooked more healthfully and efficiently.
