SEIZURES SUCK!!!

Hey Pals,

Well our Friday is off to a rotten start. Poor Miss Snickers had seizures AGAIN this morning. Mama just couldn't believe it. Mama is soooooooo MAD at the Seizure Monster. Snickers has a vet appointment for Monday, so we were hoping no more seizures until then at least, but NOOOOOOOOO, the seizure monster had to strike again. Snickers still wasn't 100% better from the seizures Wednesday night. She still had the runs, ewwwwwwee! Now after this morning's seizures, she has an upset tummy again. The poor girl just can't get a break.

Not sure what the vet is going to do. Either a drug monitor blood test again on the Phenobarbital or just start giving her the Potassium Bromide drug. Adding this drug will be another hill to climb. It takes several months to build up in the blood stream, plus you have to take many blood tests to monitor the levels & increase as needed. So no matter what, there will be months of more seizures to deal with. Snickers has been battling these things for just over a year now. We were hoping when she turns 7 this month that she would be seizure free. Guess that's not gonna happen......

I Butchy decided to post some of Mama's flower pictures. Maybe it will cheer her & Snickers up a bit:

SEIZURES AGAIN & WHEELY WEDNESDAY!

Hey Pals,



It's me Josephine reporting tonight for Wheely Wednesday. Top story of the night is that the MEAN SEIZURE MONSTER hit poor Snickers again earlier this evening. Mama is so upset. She feels so badly for poor Snickers having to go through those horrid seizures. We know all of our pals have rallied trying to get rid of that mean monster, but he is very wicked & keeps bothering Snickers & several of her pals that also get seizures. The medications just aren't keeping the seizures away. What to do, what to do.....

There has got to be a way to kill that monster!!! Hmmmmm, do we need to call on the Incredible Hulk?? or HELLBOY???

Maybe they can help us. We better get Inspector Butcho & Detective Joey on the case. We'll have an update next week from them on their investigation.

Next story is about FOXY BOY! Remember his arrival at the Snitchybug Dog Hospital???


Well check him out now: (hope Lacie doesn't faint, hehehehe!)







Butchy is flying the Foxy Boy as we speak to his new home to live with Lacie, Scruffy & BabyStan in da Burgh, PA. They left this morning in Butchy's plane. Here they are in the driveway for the takeoff: (you can biggify this picture)


As you know, Butchy's plane doesn't hold much fuel, so they'll be making several stops along the way. Sure hope they don't get into any mischief. Would hate to see Butchy's license revoked, hehehehe! Oh, and Lacie, I'm supposed to tell you to have some of your famous Mango Pineapple smoothies ready for Butchy kay???

Wheely Hugs,
Josephine

BEWARE YOU EVIL SEIZURE MONSTER!!! SOMEDAY, SOMEHOW, I WILL GET BACK AT YOU!!!!! GRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!

BEST BULLY STICKS & MORE FLOWERS

Hey Pals,

A few months ago we were sent some tasty bully sticks to try out.

WOW!!! That's all we can say, hehehehehe! The bully sticks are from BEST BULLY'S.

They are truly pawsome. Mama & Papa were even impressed because these bully sticks did not smell icky like other sticks we have tried. Believe us, Mama does not let us chew things that are stinky. Here are a few photos of us enjoying our Best Bully Sticks: (this is before our last haircut, so we look pretty woolly)

This is me Butchy chewing up my bully stick:


And here is Snickers. She can chew these up faster than I can, she just loves them!


Ynum, num, num, num!


So if you like good treats, please check out Best Bully's! Did we tell you these sticks are chemical & preservative FREE??? Tell them Butchy & Snickers sent you.

This morning I Butchy helped Mama take some flower pictures while I guarded the koi fishies as they ate their brekkie.

Here I am by some Astilbes:



Here is a Japanese Iris:


And here is another color of Japanese Iris:


This iris is by the Water Forget Me Nots. They have tiny blue flowers that bloom most of the summer.


This blooming plant is a perennial Hardy Geranium:


This plant is called Spiderwort. This one has the blue/purple flowers. We have 3 different flower color versions of this plant.


Here is one of our waterlilies:


We haven't had too many waterlily flowers blooming lately because, ummmmmm, those darn bambi have been taking a swim into our ponds & EATING THEM!!! Mama has been very upset with them. She watches out the windows all of the time & when she notices a deer in the pond, she runs outside like a mad woman screaming at the deer to GET OUT!

Here is a picture of one doe running out of the pond after Mama screamed at her:


The picture is kind of blurry since Mama was screaming while she took this, hehehehe!
You can biggify this picture to see the deer a bit better, she's the big brown thing in the middle!

Hmmmmm, wonder if this deer will come back???

MEAN SEIZURE MONSTER & THE CAT DID IT!!

Hey Pals,

Well, Snickers' good luck run ran out on Friday. That mean Seizure Monster had to bother her again & made her have 4 seizures Friday evening. Mama was so mad & sad at the same time. The seizures were shorter this time so that's a little improvement. Snickers is pretty much back to her ol' self now today.

Here she is:


While Snickers has been resting up since Friday night, I've been on guard duty all by myself.


And look what I found in front of our fireplace:


Is that a dog rug????? Where did it come from?

Uh oh, there is Sylvester & Scuby in one of the surveillance photos:


Just look at Sylvester making himself comfy on that rug:


I'VE BEEN FRAMED!!

IT'S WHEELY WEDNESDAY!

Hey Pals,


It's me nurse Snickers II reporting today. Some of you may have heard the hottest scoop in wheely world, Myrna gave birth to a baby wheely girl!!! Yep, looks just like her daddy Gilbert. Myrna was rushed here to our Snitchybug Dog Hospital for the delivery.



Here are some of the delivery day photos that Butchy took for us:

This is Myrna, waiting for the moment....


Ooooooo, here comes the head...


Dr. Snitchybug & Dr. Pierre delivered the baby along with Nurse Snickers II & Nurse Sylvester. If you biggify the picture, you can see Sylvester's white paws below where the baby's head will come out, he wanted to be sure to catch the baby, hehehehe!



Proud daddy Gilbert at Myrna's side...



It's a GIRL!!!



Here is mommy Myrna with her girl Romy...


You can read more detail about the day on Asta's blog. We are all still excited about the fun day.

Do you remember this foxy boy??? If not, CLICK HERE


He is currently going through his plastic surgeries for skin replacement. Lacie is just dying for him to be healed so he can come live with her, hehehehe. Here you can see him enjoying his acupuncture treatments. Dr. Snitchybug let him go lounge out on our deck to enjoy the fresh air:


( For those of you that like to sew, the white pieces are the pattern pieces that Dr. Snitchybug made that are cut into the different mohair colors. )

Shouldn't be too long now & the foxy boy will be all healed up nicely. He doesn't want to show his face until he is totally healed, so silly Lacie will just have to wait, tee hee!

Wheely Hugs,
Nurse Snickers II

HAIRDO & KOI

Hey Pals,

We finally got Mama to take some pictures of us since she trimmed our hair. Here is Snickers:


Just look at that cute face, hehehehe! Mama has been very happy cause it's been 30 days since the (shhhhh......) xxxx monster has visited Snickers.


And here is my handsome face!




I've been having lots of fun outdoors. That mean mini-Monster Bird (aka Kingfisher Bird) keeps trying to get the koi, so I chase him away. I go bezzzzerk when I hear his weird cackling noises. Mama told me that's being a good boy though, cause I scare him away. Here are some of our koi fishies. It's so hard to get good photos of them with all of the light hitting the water, etc. But you can see some of them really well.




Here was our first waterlily flower to bloom for the season. The lilies are about 3 weeks late in blooming due to our cold weather.


So far Mama has named 8 of the little young koi that were born last year. We don't have pics of all of them yet, but here are the names we chose from our pals list:

BabyStan
Georgie
Gordy
Bailey
Baxter
Benson
Brody
Noah

Better get back outside to guard the koi.

Wirey Hugs,
Butchy, Snickers, Ruby, Sylvester & Scuby
