It's me!
Sorry I've been silent and I miss visiting everyone's blog. A lot has happened. I admit I do have time for the blog but as a lot of you know that it can be stressful keeping it updated so I let it slide. My mom had a procedure and there was a complication but that was fixed (vague I know, but my mom is private). She has another problem but hopefully that one will be an easy fix as well. Please send lots of vibes, prayers or just positive thoughts please!

I had yet to get monster pup spayed because of everything going on but it finally got done. She did well. Didn't have to use the cone of shame... until... it was almost healed! She suddenly decided it was a good thing to lick and it looked angry. She earned that cone of shame!

My big boy also had a problem. He has acute kidney failure. I started giving him Only Natural Kidney Support (not an affiliate link, just wanted to share the info). It seems to be working well and his numbers (except the creatine) seem to have gone back to normal. Not a cure by any means but it seems to have kept him stable and feeling good. I'm ecstatic about that!
A few other smaller things happened but it all just added up to me being absent from the blog for a bit. I'm going to try to get at least a couple of posts up. It might be a bit stressful but it feels good to talk to all of you!
I think I need a vacay! Anyone want to go?
Hope everything has gone well for everyone! I should be visiting shortly!

My goodness; so much going on Melissa! I'll be sending positive vibes for your mom. 💜💜
ReplyDeleteThank you! ❤️
DeleteWow, you do have quite a bit going on Melissa. I'm sending posivibes and healing thoughts your way - for ALL of you. :) You take care of what needs caring for and we'll still be here when things are calm and you're back. <3
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! I'm going to try to get a couple of posts up and visit some bloggys! :D
DeleteYou sound like you have your hands full!
ReplyDeleteFonzi ended up with the cone and gated for 3 weeks after his neuter. No problem with the surgery site but he had some kind of contact reaction to the shaving of the area or the prep or maybe even the rugs at home. Poor fur babies.
I'm sending you all the positive thoughts to you and your mom Melissa.
Karen @ For What It's Worth
OMG she still has the Dumb and Dumber haircut on her belly (or that is what I call it! LOL). She was almost perfectly healed... that darn mutt. LOL At least it was only a short time at night. 3 weeks would have killed her, me and the big boy. LOL
Deleteoh a lot of things, I hope everything will be ok for your mother...
ReplyDeleteI hope all goes well with both your mom and your older dog. It is so hard when people you care about are in need/sick/not well/what have you.
ReplyDeleteAnd the cone of shame! I love it. They really do look so embarrassed when they have to wear them don't they?
Yep, I know we have all been there. :(
DeleteShe hated it and so did the big boy. Had to watch her closely during the day and use it at night. It freaked out the big boy. LOL
Hopefully your mom is all better now. Those cones drive the dogs nuts but at least you didn't have to use it for long.
ReplyDeleteNot quite, but thanks for the positive thought!
DeleteOnly had to use the cone for a few nights. *whew*
A vacation sounds amazing! My pup got neutered about a month ago. He had the cone of shame on for 10 days! I hope everything gets better with your little one and your mom!
ReplyDeleteLet's go! :)
Delete10 days isn't bad! Thanks!
I am glad they are feeling better. You really do need a vacay
ReplyDeleteThanks. Let's all go! :D
DeleteAww not the cone of shame! They were so close too! I'm glad your other dog is doing okay at the moment, but that's so scary!! I'm glad your mom is doing better - hopefully the small problem now will be easily fixed too! And yes, I could really use a vacay. :)

Thanks for the positive thoughts!! Been though both chronic and acute kidney failure with dogs and he is actually doing amazingly.
DeleteSo... where should we all go? :D
So much going on *hugs*
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! *hugs*
DeleteTotally understandable- you have a lot on your plate! Definitely sending best wishes and prayers for your mom. Hope all goes well. And same for the kidney problem- I hope he's feeling better as well. :)
ReplyDeleteThanks!!
DeleteI am sending good vibes and virtual hugs your way. Family and critters can complicate life and I fully understand. Poor doggie and the cone of shame..he looks mortified!
ReplyDeleteThanks! She was pretty put out but it really freaked out the big boy. Bad puppy! LOL
DeleteWow, that's a lot! I hope your pupper boy is feeling okay! It's so hard to see them hurting. And I hope your mom is doing alright also.
ReplyDeleteHe has his bad days but overall doing pretty good!
DeleteThanks!
Oh goodness, sounds like there has been an awful lot going on. Sometime you just have to prioritize and let some things go (like blogging) until things settle down. Looking forward to seeing more from you!
ReplyDeleteTrue. I hope to get something up from time to time. :)
DeleteI hope everything is starting to calm down. I completely understand how things can get in the way. Family issues must come first. I know I've been a little bit MIA for a bit too.
ReplyDeleteMelanie @ Hot Listens & Books of My Heart
I hope everything is okay with you and yours!! <3
DeleteHey sweetie! Thanks for checking in. I've been thinking of you. I hope things settle down for you and you can enjoy some "me" time! *HUGS*
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! You are so sweet! ((HUGS))
DeleteSending hugs and love your way. Hope that things start looking up. You do need a vacation!
ReplyDeleteThanks! <3
DeleteLet's go! :D I think we all need one.
Sending prayers and positive vibes your way! I hope things settle down for you so you can enjoy some "time off".
ReplyDeleteAw thanks!!
DeleteHello! Don't worry about being away from blogging... we all need time off every once in awhile. I hope your mom gets through all of her things with relative ease. Yay for your dog being nearly healed, but funny she had to endure the cone of shame. Mine were the same way... I think at the end it starts to itch as it heals, so they start paying attention to it. It's like when kids pick their scabs, I guess. Poor kitty! Glad what you're doing is helping improve his mood. <3
ReplyDelete-- Lindsi @ Do You Dog-ear?
Yea, I thought I was out of the woods as it really didn't look like it would bother you. Guess she took it as a challenge. LOL
DeleteWow... you have been busy! Hope your Mum is ok.
ReplyDeleteLife does get in the way at times... we all understand!
Thanks!
DeleteYep, we have all been there in one way or another.
I do hope your mom gets everything done and heals quickly! And I have memories( and not good ones) about my dog and a cone a very long time ago. We felt so sorry for her that we would cut away a lot of it and really ruin what good it was supposed to do. Hope your dog gets healed fast too! Welcome back!
ReplyDeleteThanks. Sorry to hear about your pup. Hope she is doing well now!
DeleteHey Melissa! Fingers crossed your mum's health and recovery continues to progress!
ReplyDeleteNice to see you back but don't worry about being gone for a bit. Life is what it is and when things calm down you can pick back up again. 🙂
Thanks!!
DeleteYea, I will get one on here once in a while. :)
Well yay, though, for all of that. Glad the senior herd babe is doing well on the new food. It's amazing the changes that can make. Mom was taught how to do fluids for hers at one point and that helped, too.
ReplyDeleteAw naughty younger babe. smh
Lots of prayers for your mom!
I actually didn't have to change his food too much. The product listed is a herbal med. It works for kitties too but I'm not sure how well. We don't have to do fluids right now, but I remember that procedure and it wasn't fun. :(
DeleteThanks!
Sending prayers for your mom. I know what you mean, it can get stressful trying to keep the blog updated. When I came back from vacation I didn't know where to begin lol.
ReplyDeleteHope the dogs are feeling better too, take care xo
Thanks! Blogging helps with the stress as much as it creates it I think. :) We should all take a vacay!
DeleteTotally get it, Melissa. Sending lots of extra good vibes to your mama. Glad that food is help with the pup. Take a vacay soon! :)
ReplyDeleteAw thanks! The product is actually a herbal med and seems to be working pretty well.
DeleteSending all the positive vibest to your mother! Hope she's feelin better soon!
ReplyDeleteAnd that the dgs are feeling better soon too. The cone of shame is a little funny though ;) Don't worry about not blogging as much, we'll all be here and excited to see you back!
Thank you!
DeleteShe was hilarious in it but it freaked out the big boy. LOL Thanks for the kind words!
Gosh that is so much going on. Hope the dogs are doi ng ok now. Lots of prayers to your mom. And yes to a vacay!!
ReplyDeleteWow...a lot going on..glad your mom and pups are all doing better...Trust me I understand needing to be absent from the blog...sometimes other things just need to take priority.
ReplyDeleteOh my. I'm so sorry you've been going through so much. I understand the stress even if you have a few moments. I hope all the best for mom and big guy. **hugs**
ReplyDeleteSounds like things have been tough Melissa. I hope all is ok now!
