Dakota ~ Swollen Glands

Dakota went to the vet 

today to have 

teeth cleaned and surgery for 

the skin tags. 

Dr. King checked him out and 

said that his glands

 are all swollen. They did not put 

him to sleep to clean

 teeth or do surgery cause they 

want him on Prednisone 

and a strong antibiotics then they 

want to recheck him then.

 Dr. King said that usually 

they fear the worst but 

his blood work was perfect. So they 

are hoping this helps 

take care of the matter. I will take 

him back in 10 days 

and they will do a recheck. We both 

need good vibes, he is my best

 bud, I don't want him to suffer if 

he is sick on top of that I can't 

take anymore bad 

news. I love this little

guy. Thanks.....

Thank you,

Pam

My Two Loves/ Surgery

If you have been reading my blogs

for even a little bit you

know I love

ANIMALS!

And being a new mom to 

three adult dogs there has

been some adjustments that 

have had to be made and 

cont on a daily basis to make.

BUT

these two hold a very special

place in my 

HEART.

💖

The pic above is Lily watching the

ceiling fan.

Tomorrow will be a big day for 

Dakota.

He will be going to the vet and he will

be updated on his shots,

nails clipped, bath, check up

 lab work done, teeth

cleaned and surgery.

A few yrs ago Dakota started

developing skin tags.

Dr. King said that some dogs just

tend to get them more so

then others. Dakota seems to be

one that gets some for him and 

others!

Here is one on his belly.

This one is on his back.

Two on this leg.

Plus about 6 to ten more small ones.

But its the big one that is being removed.

It started out little and has 

grown. I removed his collar about a 

yr ago cause it was rubbing it.

This one is of course on the

side of his neck.

You can see how large it is up

next to my nail. 

He is also having this one removed, it is

on his back leg.

Although I was told the one on the neck

was a skin tag, it has grown and it looks

bad at times cause he tends to scratch at it and 

gets it bleeding. 

I am concerned about it.

Also, a tad concerned about some knots

I think I feel in his neck. 

Hoping it is nothing but still concerned.

Keep him in your heart tomorrow with 

vibes of love please.

Thanks, 

Lily....Lily....Lily....Molly

Chasing Lily through the hall

playing with her the other

day and she jumps in a box I 

have in the hall.

She is really investigating

different areas at moms place.

Molly has become 

my best friend

lately. 

Two Barn Babes

One cold afternoon when I get to 

the barn to feed, I open the door 

and this is how I am greeted.

There is a shelve right around

that corner and Princess is just

sitting there waiting on me.

As I am feeding I look up and 

above one of the stalls

I see Tigress looking down at

me.

Molly

A sleeping sort of day

with the yucky rain that seems

to just want to hang around.

Furbabes Chilling

Two of the sisters.

Chole and Cheyenne.

The older sis, Molly.

Oh my...the only BOY!

And of course the odd

one out ...the cat!

Lily Bit chilling with 

her brother.

They all dislike the COLD 

and rainy weather.

Oh This Silly Girl is Hunting

I can't help it...

she just makes me smile.

And laugh.

Months and months ago 

I brought my moms plants

in from the porch.

Three days ago I noticed that there

was a plant that had been knocked

to the floor.

Thanks Lily.

Last night I found out why when I 

went down to see what

she was up to,

she was hunting.

Tonight I go back and 

see this.

 

  

Apparently its been living in 

a plant. So since it is

to cold for it to be out

and the ground is to frozen

for it to dig down...

I got it to the bathroom 

downstairs and put some plants

in there so maybe it will 

be okay.

While trying to catch it, it

jumped everywhere, Lily

caught it twice but mean old

mom made her let it go.

AW MOM...that is not funny.

She keeps me hopping

(no pun intended)

Cheyenne

Oh Chey is a sweetie....

But she thinks she is QUEEN BEE.

She is the one I have worried about 

cause I am pretty sure she is grieving.

She is the only one that 

would not let us put her

on the bed with mom.

The other two laid with mom, they

knew. 

Chey likes calling the shots but

she is learning, I don't play games.

The dogs will go out but when it 

comes time to come in, I open the 

door and they all run in but Cheyenne.

She likes for you to close the door and 

open it back up for her.

Only, if she don't come while I stand there

holding the door open and looking 

her straight in the face calling her,

then I shut the door and when

I DECIDE to go back, I will

let her in then.

ON MY TERMS.

She will learn.

Rainy Days

The scene yesterday....

                                    haha~  and again today!

And several days last week.

It has really been a wet winter for

us in TN and not from snow.

So tired of all this rain and by the 

looks of the babes above, they

are over it too.

Princess - Barn Babe

Silly girl.

Lost and Found

Mom has a screened in deck 

also. Lily thinks that is great with

the beautiful days we have had 

the last four days.

Like at home, I keep the screen

closed and latched.

Since it was so pretty last night 

I kept the door going to the deck

propped open so Lily could

come and go.

The dogs were on the other side of 

the screen, outside. 

I saw Lily run to the back room 

where the little box is at that point

I decided to go let the dogs in and

close up the deck.

I also propped the screen door 

open so the dogs could go straight

out later on. I did not realize that

Lily had come back out. 

An hour later, starting to bed I 

realized that she was not in the house.

I called, I balled, I cried, I searched...

NO LILY.

On top of the day I had I just knew

she was gone. I got Dakota out of 

the fenced yard to sniff for her.

I got the flash light and went all around

the house and some of the neighbors 

yards....calling for her the whole

time.

Finally I put the dogs up and the dog

up the street that kept barking must

have went in. While I sat on the deck

crying I would call out to her.

Finally around 9pm I heard a 

slight meow. I came off the deck and 

called again, once again I heard a meow.

I kept this up till I was across the 

street and then I found her.

Scared she was in the corner of

the window seal of the house there.

I was so happy.

I grabbed her and loved and kissed

on her all the way home. I know

she was glad I found her cause

she did not fight to get out 

of my arms.

She was so glad that she came

and got in bed with me and three

dogs. She was tired. 

By the time I found her, she had 

been missing for about if not 

longer than two hours.

My heart was so happy.

I was able to sleep knowing

she was with me and the other

furbabes. 

I could not stand the thought of life 

without her. She brings laughs

to my life but I could not stand the

thoughts of her outside over night

by herself. 

This morning first thing she went

to the vets where my daughter works.

She is now a registered chipped cat.

I am also purchasing an orange collar

for her. I learned tonight that orange

means "convict" as in ~ 

INSIDE 

CAT.

So if you see a cat with an orange

collar, grab it up, it is an indoor cat

that is not allowed outside. 

She will also be wearing her name and 

my number on that break away collar. 

Precautions....but NEVER will she not

be hunted for again before I open 

that screen door. If she is out there

and the dogs need in or out, she

will be picked up and held while that

door is opened. 

My heart can't take things like that 

again.

Hug your furbabes and 

take precautions to keep

them safe.
