No, not Fudgepants. Fudge, the stand-in for the word I want to use. Sola has been hit with a case of pancreatitis. It's causing her quite a bit of pain, and she has become severely depressed.
So little time has passed since her recovery from the stick incident. Nigel just healed from minor surgery for a growth in his mouth and two tooth extractions. Truffles got over encephalitis just prior to that. And on and on it goes. I'm asking our vet to install a revolving door for the sake of convenience. We're beginning a course of meds now, and it is my hope that we can take away the pain soon.
The invoice does not lie.Truffles: "Hey two-legger?"
Author: "Yes Fudgepants."
Truffles: "When is the last time you went to the beach?"
Author: "It's been at least a year, maybe two. Why do you ask?"
Truffles: "You have all of those big ocean birds hanging around you."
If only they were seagulls. I could feed them my Burger King leftovers and be done with it.
I have scheduled Wordless Wednesday to post automatically. We may or may not be around this week. Sola is my baby girl, and nothing will be right until I see her shine again.
The obedience greyhounds want you to recover quickly and "heel"! Get well, Sola.
ReplyDeletedang!!! I am sorry Sola is not feeling good. I know you and Mrs. Author can't be right when the 4 leggeds are hurting. I hope Sola recovers quickly!

ReplyDeleteI am very sorry Sola is not feeling well. I do hope for the speedy recovery of your baby girl. *Hugs*
ReplyDeleteOur mum says too tell you she completely empathises with the vet bill - she was hoping to retire early from work in the next year or two but now doubts she can afford to!!
ReplyDeleteHaving said all that we do so hope Sola recovers quickly - we dogs are so worth ever penny.........

Poor pups! Hope the wave of troubles ends with this.

ReplyDeleteThat pancreatitis is a real bummer, hope Sola is over it soon.
ReplyDeleteSorry to hear about all the troubles. I sure hope everyone makes a speedy recovery.

I think it is well past time for that black cloud that's been hanging over Vermont to leave. I hope Sola feels better soon and NO more vet trips for a very long time. I hope your banking account bounces back soon too.
ReplyDeleteWoofs and cloudy slobbers,

I can semi-sort of say I feel your pain. I recently laid down 300 big ones for a TEETH CLEANING! Plus also, Shar pei have a history of skin, nose, ear and breathing problems.
ReplyDeleteI hope your doggies feel better soon, and your wallet, too.
I have also been through major vet bills recently and my greyhound boys and I want to wish all the best for Sola. We are sending her all of our good thoughts. We love all of you, you're part of our family. Slurpy kisses from Cody and Blue.
ReplyDeleteI'm so sorry for Sola. Poor dog. Hope she feels better soon. She looks so sad, she must be feeling miserable. Even your vets must feel sorry for you all now.
ReplyDeleteVirtual hugs to all of you. Really hope things will get better and stay better.
Oh, Sola, what a bummer! Take your meds like a good girl and get well fast! Ask your Dad and Mom for some extra affection to help you not feel so sad. I am sending you love from Minniesoda!
ReplyDeleteKisses,
Stella
Best wishes for a very fast recovery Sola! Its not that same without you around. We will eagerly await your return. Kisses!
ReplyDeleteI understand that when the pups aren't feeling well, neither are you...we are certainly connected to our critters, aren't we?
ReplyDeleteHoping everyone will be on the mend soon and life can get back to normal.
Take care,
Kit
Wow, you guys are overdue for some major happy time. I hope all the tails are waggin' at your house soon.
ReplyDeleteAs a human I have to take pancreatic enzmes so I can eat. They just double my med. dose.,this is no fun. My med's are very expensive,I can't digest my food w/ it. Solo it's no fun,hang in there.
ReplyDeleteI just posted 2 new posts on my blog@ glograbear.blogspot.com. My Iggie friend George has a mind of his own,he's a character.
Bad news. Sorry to hear about your girl. Get well soon Sola.
ReplyDeleteTinkerbell, Oscar and Tucker
Oh pretty girl, get well soon.
ReplyDelete-Bosley & Abbey
Feast carefully, Sola. I've had many wee friends make their pancreas angry from eating funny feasts. I think you need one of these, STAT:

Precious Sola, sorry to hear you are not feeling well. We are crossing our fingers you'll have a speedy recovery. In hope of if helping - here's a whole bunch of stinkin' kisses from Sweden (the kisses do not include any swine flu - PROMISE ;)).
ReplyDeleteThe poor baby! I hope she feels better!
ReplyDeleteI hope poor Sola is better soon... nothing is worse than when one of the babies is sick and hurting. Hugs to all of you, and esp two legger due to the vet bills. I feel your pain there. :-(
ReplyDeleteOuch, those vet bills can really hurt.
ReplyDeleteI had a huge bill one Christmas eve - all for nothing more than constipation and anal glands that needed expressing.
Fudge. Yeah.
But we pay for having professional expertise available whenever we need it. The emergency vet crew was there Christmas Eve for crimminy sakes ... I thought they deserved every penny.
Feel better!!!!!!!
WOW! You have a popular blog! I sure am honored youd want to join mine!
ReplyDeleteSOLA SOLA SOAL!
ReplyDeleteplease feel better soon! Norwood
Oh, I'm so sorry to hear about Sola. She looks like such a sweet baby. I really hope her pain will ease soon. Vet bills are not fun, but I like the way you still have a good sense of humor. You sound like a wonderful person!
ReplyDeleteBathroom bills are no fun either!
XO
Rooting for you Sola - and everyone else!
ReplyDeleteP.S. - we are convinced that our vet, as good as she is, is paying her mortgage based on The Herd.
Poor Sola. :( My mom's cat had pancreatitis several years ago and I know how miserable she was. So was the cat. I hope you feel better soon, sweet puppy!
ReplyDeleteOh Sola, I do hope you feel better soon. It's terrible being sick and it hurts the people you love too.
ReplyDeleteHugs and kisses,
Emma Rose
We will add Sola to the circle of healing vibes. Be thankful that you are in a position to make that bill $0.
ReplyDeleteWe hope you are feeling better soon.
ReplyDeleteSimba and Jazzi xx
We joke about having our paycheck direct deposited in the vet's account. It's only half joking. With ten of them there's always something going on.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you, Mrs. and the 4 leggers.
ReplyDeletepup will smile again soon.
martha
Oh Sola...hope you feel better soon! Sophie sends her love! :)
ReplyDeleteSometimes we donate a lot of money to the V-E-T too, but momma says at least we can afford it, right? I hope everybody is done having bad sickies for a while.
