THANK YOU FOR THE POTP

Good Morning Friends,

WE just wanted to do a quick post to let you know we are doing fine, even though we almost got this much snow over the weekend.

See where Ottumwa is on the Iowa map, well we live about one hour below it.  That snow sure put a big cramp in our plans.

We have had a lot of things going on in our home this past few weeks, and it has kept us from blogging and answering your comments.  Mom says we are probably just in the starting gate, and still have a ways till we see the finish line.

FURST I had a little problem after my vet visit when Mom drugged me.  Out of the goodness in my heart I dropped my case against her.   A few days after that horrible experience I came down with this.......a bright red cyst on my face by my mouth.  Mom tried to take a picture to show you but I would not hold still.  Pugs are prone to different types of cysts, and sometimes I get bumps and lumps on me, but usually after a few days they do away, this one did not.  It is also the size of a big pea and that is even unusual for me.

  Mom talked to the vet and at first she just thought mom was being HYPER mom as always, but Mom was persistent and probably so Mom will just shut up, they gave her an appt.  Of course I freaked out a little bit, even though I did it in a manly way, and after the Vet saw it, she brought out this needles 100 feet long and stuck it in that red ball on my mouth.  I actually handled that pretty well, cos I was to busy guarding my feet.

So Friday Mom took me back and they gave us 5 more days of antibiotics to see if that will help shrink it up....and if not I will need to go under the knife.  They will then send it away to get it examined to see if I really am full of sugar and sweetness.  Presents will be required if that happens to me.  So Mom has to go buy more cheese today because yesterday no matter what she put it in I licked all the goody off of my med and spit it out.  YEAH MOM, WHO IS THE SMARTER.....Don't worry about me though cos it is not slowing me down one bit, it just is pretty ugly and I want it to be gone by Valentines Day.  GEEZE DOC a boy can't go to the dance with that on his face.

We are still waiting on them to find the right Doc for our Macey.    In the Dictionary 'waiting' should come under the heading of agony, cos that is kinda how it feels.  She went to her dance practice Thursday night and had a good time, she is a lesson for all of us, when we don't want to get out of the bed, and just pull the covers over our ears.  Keep on dancing.

Then there is my Grandma.  Well last week she went and had a ultrasound and mammogram and today Mom and Grandpa was supposed to take her to a special clinic for more tests and biopsy BUT because of the big snow, its was impossible to get clear up there (2 hours away)....so we are now waiting on them to call and reschedule it.  We think it will be tomorrow or the next day.  Apparently they have more doc. to take care of grandma's problem then they do Macey's problem cos as soon as they saw the mammogram they scheduled her right away.  My mom was shook clear down to her roots she said, and having a hard time with it.  Her momma is 82 and even though its younger than 92 it still is a bit of a mountain climb.  We don't know very much yet, except when Mom and Grandpa takes her they will do lots more tests and they will stay overnight.  Right now we are waiting on Grandma to call and tell us when to come pick them up.  Mom toles us it doesn't matter how old you are...in your heart your always mom and dads little girl.

So that is basically it friends, we know our family here in blogville has struggled through just as serious issues, maybe different ones, but things that cos families to come together and sometimes fall apart.  We will keep checking the kindle while mom is gone, and read your blogs.  Its hard for us to answer you though cos our kindle has a brain of its own and changes our words and makes it sound stupid. 

Thank you for all your prayers.....Angus, Margaret Mae, Stella Rose and Mean ole cat Dietz and MOMMA.

  2. I do so understand the roller coaster ride you're on because I've been on that very same ride for 3 years now with our daughter's illness. One day at a time and stay strong is all we can do. Our continued prayers and warm thoughts for all in your family.

  3. a 100 foot long needle? yiiikes! Angus guess what? If you are 100% ok we will start an expedition to find that Mr. Normal. I know he is somewhere and we should find him, that he stays a little bit with you and a little bit with me. I cross my paws for you, for Macey and your granny and even for the weather guy that he will predict better weather.

  7. Gussie, you gotta take this cyst seriously or else Liberty is not gonna wanna kiss you at the Dance (speaking of which will you ask your dates to send us pictures? We can raid your blog for pictures of yous if we need to). And if your momma puts your pulls in bananas or hot dogs then you should just smile and eat them. Sometimes our pawrents would just shove the pills down the doggie's throats then offer a hot dog chaser and that worked well too. Now about your human granny you need to remember this . . . this is your momma's momma and when she looks in her eyes she does not see an 82 year old woman. She sees the woman who held her even when she was 40! So this is gonna be hard for your mom so you pugs gotta get along and help her out. Hopefully Macey's doctors are gonna say something good. We sure got our paws crossed for that! In the meantime just remember there are furneds all over the world with yous on their hearts.

    Your Pals,

    Murphy & Stanley

  20. You have had a pretty busy and traumatic week! I'll be praying that the bump goes away(I know how scary surgery sounds)and also be praying for your mom's mom. She is lucky to still have her parents-mine when to the Rainbow Bridge a long time ago. Sending up prayers for her as well as your mom. We understand about being away-next Monday my time away will start, but I'm hoping to be able to blog once I get home. Sending you lots of wags, pets and love!

  33. Thank you for all the pupdates on you and your family. There is so much going on. I will cross paws for all of you and Mommy will say a prayer. Mommy wants to know if you have ever heard of something called Greenies pill pockets. I don't know why or what they are for, but I do enjoy them myself and it seems to make her happy when I eat them.
