March 12th - Emma is back at the Vets *sad*

Emma is back at the Veterinarian's this morning.

She's been spitting up since Friday.
Hasn't eaten or had water since Sat.

What's wrong?

Waiting by the phone

*Poor baby*

 

March 6th - Praying for Izabella

A note about puppy Izabella from my aunt and uncle . . .

Dear Friends: ...THANK YOU FOR YOUR PRAYERS! We really appreciate all the emails,  prayers and support. Our worst fears have been confirmed today.  Our little Izzy does have distemper.  However, we do have HOPE and we need to continue to have HOPE. Our little girl is very alert, eating well, her pneumonia is going away, white blood cells up, not diarrhea or vomiting.  All in all Dr. Nissan is very positive that if she continues in this direction she will overcome this.  However, we still have to HOPE & PRAY that this virus does not effect her neurologically. If that happens..... When we see her, we have to wear sterilized gowns and wash our hands before and after we see her (so does each Nurse, etc. that comes in contact with her).  She comes in with her happy tail wagging, many kisses and lots of whining and squirming -- she can't get enough of us and we can't get enough of her.  She is such a joy!   By the way, Izzabella means "God's Promise" and Leigh means "Delicate".  I showed her a video of Lucy the other day (she was "talking")  she was so cute -- you could tell she was watching it -- she kept turning her head from side to side. Our continued prayer is that she is going to beat this and come home and be a happy puppy.  She is now staying at the Vet Hospital, Dr. Nissan cannot take her home anymore.   We really appreciate all of you -- we could not go through this without you! Again, thank you for all your prayers. Love, Bob and Anita Lucy (Big Sister) Gracey (Medium Sister)

Everyone is hurting - Please Pray
*Thank you* 

Mach 2nd - Antique Candy Jar

I found this candy jar at
The Robin's Nest Antique store!

We had one just like it when we were growing up.

The cool story is that my dad, who was working on a
Las Vegas magazine, became friends with Louie Prima and Keely Smith.

They were the ones that gave it to my dad
in the late 50's - early 60's - cool!
 
Click on the photo above to play one of their hit songs . . . 

By the way - Glenn is going to fill it with his orange and golden agates.

March 1st - Happy Birthday Mairzy!

Mary Ann, front and center! 

My BFF

March 1st - Emma's home!

She had her dewclaws removed due to them being in-grown
(also a tooth extracted which had a cavity.) 

~ ~ ~ 
She has a cone-collar on for a week so she won't
chew at the stitches on her paws.

She is taking it like a champ.

Stitches out in 12 days.

 

February 29th - Emma Update . . .

Ema will be able to come home at 4 today.
She has to wear a cone/collar
to keep her from her incisions . . .
It's gong to be an interesting week. 

I've missed her

 

February - 28th - Unsettled . . .

Feeling unsettled about Emma being away -
waiting for the Vet to call to hear how her surgery went . . .

 

February 28th - Emma going to the Hospital today

My 10 year old baby Emma is off to the cat hospital today.

She's getting a tooth pulled which is pretty routine.
~ ~ ~ 
When Emma was a kitten (before I adopted her) she had
her claws removed.  That Dr. did a poor job and the nails have been
growing out and curling back into her pads - ouch!
So her second procedure will be tedious and take a lot of time. 

She'll be in the hospital for a few days until she is out of pain.
The Dr. said the nail procedure is painful when it is re-done
and poor Emma will be on morphine and can not
come home until she can manage with out the drugs...

I'm sad . . . 

February 20th - Rock Soap!

Isn't this the coolest!
Oh, and it smells so good!!

 

My Aunt Nini and Uncle Bob sent this to us!

It came with a cute wood soap dish - this will look great
in Glenn's bathroom, after all he is the rock-hound! 

Thank you so much!

February 10th - My new cousin Izabella Leigh

Uncle Bob & Aunt Nini's new Puppy!   Izabella Leigh Born: November 13, 2011 Adopted on: February 8, 2012 Weight: 4.5 lbs. Her mom says she is a  "Chula Vista/Otay Mesa" girl!"

AND ALL THIS HAPPENED IN the first 24 hours! Welcome to the family!! We can't wait to meet you! Cousins Nancy, Glenn, Hildy, Gracie & Emma
