potp request for bee

a few weeks ago something happened to bee when she jumped off the sofa. she appeared to be in a lot of pain so daughter #2 took her to the emergency vet where she was diagnosed with IVDD (intervertebral disk disease). she was given pain medication and was advised to be kept on confined rest for two weeks while she recuperated. fast forward to father’s day weekend, she accompanied her parents on a california visit, with her vet’s permission of course. since her condition was still guarded, i continued with her very strict containment and limited activity.

every time she needed to go outside, i would leash her to help keep her calm and to distract her from wanting to jump or run. and since she’s normally a very active dog that loves to run, we sectioned off our yard with some temporary fencing so she was restricted to only a small area.

she was a pretty good patient while she was here but now that she’s back home in new york, she is going to have to get used to her new normal. because of the IVDD, one wrong jump and she could end up paralyzed. she sure could use some potp right about now.

"thank you"

the nerve #tot

"you aren’t gonna believe what i saw yesterday, on MY patio!"

"A CAT! the nerve of that guy showing up here."

bailey stared him down and when he noticed her, she gave him a piece of her mind. i dare not repeat exactly what she said, but i can tell you, he was read the riot act. BOL

daddy’s day

we had a fab father’s day yesterday, mainly because both daughters were in town. (woo-hoo!) we all went out to brunch and had a really nice meal together. bailey was a very good girl and sat quietly on daddy’s lap for the entire meal. we hope y’all's day was just as fab.

triple digits #tot

knowing we were gonna hit triple digits yesterday, bailey and i ran a couple of errands in the morning, to beat the heat. we were only out for about 45 minutes and that was just about all we could handle. today we’ll be in triple digits again, but today we'll be cool as a cucumber in our air conditioned home.

monthly visit

it’s time again for our monthly visit to the vet to keep him up to date on the frequency and severity of bailey's seizures. thankfully they haven’t been very severe and they aren’t as frequent but unfortunately they are still a part of bailey’s life.

"who’s that?"

"oh, hi frenchie!"
