JSM's BEGGING FOR BANNING #29 10/24/11 -

[Bearlyhere]

Please say a prayer for my Mom.  Her foot has an ulcer on it and it is getting deeper.  I am taking her to the doctor this morning.

Please also say a prayer for Bart, my neighbor's dog.  He has swollen glands, he has had an ear infection, he did not eat his dinner last night again.  He did eat some venison for me, but he seems to be dehydrated and is drooling and having trouble swallowing.  He is going to the vet this afternoon.

Thanks.

Bearly, will be praying the doctor's visit goes well for your Mom.  Does she have diabetes?  Is that what is making it worse?
You are so kind to help with Bart.  Will be praying for his vet check up today as well.
It has been disappointing not to be working in the jewelry store, though I have been very busy with church work.  Plus I do the paperwork for my sister Connie, my ex George, myself, and the two churches.  Needless to say, I get tons of mail which can get overwhelming fast.
I am going by the jewelry store today.  It's really been nagging at me and I would rather deal with it than have it hanging over my head.  Just going to say sorry it didn't work out.
It's raining here, but nothing like the snow others are having.  Me not like snow, so I am feeling fortunate plus the temperature is in the high 50s.  No complaints.
Keep us posted Bearly on how things work out.  Wearing my red coat today so extra prayers coming your way.
 

Thanks for the prayers.  They are appreciated and I can feel the difference prayers make.

I am so glad you are going by the jewelry store, I don't like things hanging over my head, either.  Great idea.

Your weather sounds like ours was yesterday.  Hopefully, it well feel good later, like it did here.

My Mom has something called PTTD, she does not have diabetes, but my brother does and so does her Grandmother.  I think it is all related somehow, it is too coincidental not to be.  She has neuropathy and bad circulation.  She is in a wheelchair.  She has so many things wrong with her.  She was always sick or else in the hospital for some reason since I was very young.  It has been a tough life for her.

 

Helping Bart is very good for me, it feels good being useful.

Paperwork is tough, you are very kind to do that for them.  I know it takes a lot of time. 

This is a very busy time for you, please take care of yourself.  I will be praying for you and all your good works, and that you stay healthy through it all.  God bless you for your work for the community.  They are very fortunate to have you.

How tragic this poor woman was murdered! 

Hope folks step up to save the dogs.

Very sad, her son is devastated. I hope folks step up and give these animals loving homes.

She has children, too.  What a selfish act, this has affected so many.  Prayers for her family and all who love her.

Good morning Monkeys!

Not sure how much I'll be around in the coming days!  Have lots of cooking and cleaning to do before Christmas.  Kids and their families sleeping over.  Preparng beds today. 

So, wishing all the Monkeys a blessed Christmas! 
Special thanks to Klaas and our devoted Mods.   

(I think I am going to sneak into Can's house, maybe she won't notice two extras.)   

Merry Christmas! 



I am glad the winter solstice is here, now the days get longer, I love the sunshine!

My brother is having his surgery this morning.  SIL will give me a ring tonight when she's home from the hospital. Hoping the cancer hasn't spread to his prostate.
He hasn't told our Mom.

Thanks again for keeping him in your prayers Sister.   

You and your family are in my prayers, Can.

I'm now in the Christmas spirit. Just recieved the bill from the vet for sedating and deworming the 4 donks . It usually is for $300.00 but this time it said PAID in Full as a present from the vet. Now I have extra money for the shelter.  I called and Jason (the vet)  said he wanted to thank me for taking such good care of all my pets especially in these economic times when people are not doing routine care just emergency care. God bless him.

How lovely!  Jason is in my prayers!

Sister sent me this wonderful story to post 

http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2051780/Blind-Great-Dane-Lily-needs-home-space-HER-guide-dog-Maddison.html



Homeless: Blind Great Dane Lily and her kind-hearted canine carer Maddison



Forever friends: Lily, left, being guided while walking with Maddison right. The pair have been inseparable since Lily lost her sight

Playful: Lily's lack of sight has heightened her other senses so she can often tell if Maddison is nearby without the pair touching

The Great Dane is seeking an owner who would be willing to give both her and best friend Maddison a new home

What beautiful dogs!

Read this in the comments:

Just came from the Dogs Trust site and they say that a NEW HOME has been found for these wonderful dogs. Couldn't be happier for all concerned. Just thought that anyone still reading this might want to know.

He hasn't told our Mom.

Thanks again for keeping him in your prayers Sister.   

can, will check back this evening to see how he made out.  I know it is stressful for you and your SIL.

Thank you Sister.  Not expecting my SIL to call until this evening, I went out this afternoon
and she called.  My husband spoke with her.  I'm anxious to speak with her myself but since she was up @ 4;00 A.M. and must be weary, I think I'll spare her my questions.
She told my hubs that my brother was in good spirits.  Due to his recent stroke, they did an epidural and so he was alert and not in any pain. He will call me tomorrow.  They removed the tumor and it has been sent away for biopsy.  She said if the bleeding stops they will send him home tomorrow.

Thanks for checking in tonight.  I so appreciate you.   

Thank you for the update, Can, prayers continue for all.

Good morning Monkeys!

I received a magnificent pointsetta yesterday.  It is two colors with fine sparkles sprayed on the petals.  it's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!   

Bearly - thinking of you and hope the doctor was able to help your Mom yesterday.

Thank you!

We are making gnocchi today. 

Asked daughter what she would like to have for Christmas meal.  She said gnocchi with mushroom sauce, hor deauvres and belgian endive salad, and maybe some of my mac n cheese casserole w/stewed tomatoes, since the grands like mac n cheese.

The rest of us are having lamb and turkey!   

!



That's  a lot of cooking

Good Morning Monkeys.
Granddaughter came yesterday to spend some time with us before Christmas.
She is going through all my photos to make a family album....pretty entertaining. 

Hope everyone has a good morning.

Going to a vet in Boaz today to pay down the account of the shelter. Their vet discounts all their services but they are behind in their account. This play it forward thing is working. Got a message from Lily's new family and they and their grandkids are going to their local shelter and donating vet services in Lily's name. The grands love Lily and have learned about abandoned animals through her and wanted to help..is that great or what 
Off before the storms hit..everyone have a great day !!!!

 

[Bearlyhere]

looks like all is good in the world for us monkey friends! you monkeys are the best people in the whole world and I wish only wonderful things for you all for Christmas and the New Year!

Thank you!  You too, Cookie!

Patton is being too active tonight!!!!!!    I had to call the vet to see what to do, because he is supposed to not be active. They said to give him a benadryl to calm him down. Poor thing, I feel bad because all he did was sleep today and he acts like he wants to walk all over the apartments and he can't. February 19th can't come soon enough. 

Well, the good news is that he is feeling better!

  Yes he is feeling better. Now to keep him calm. 

Patton must be feeling better! good! 

Can...any news about your brother?

Donks...good for you on getting the $300 credit on your pets!

hope everyone is doing good!
wonderful story about the blind dog and her pal! sooooo sweet!

  Hey Cookie, he is doing much better. I just have to keep him calm. Heartworms suck. I hate people that don't take care of their animals and give them proper treatment. Plus now I have to worry about him walking around where other dogs have been until he gets his booster shots. Luckily it is cold, so Parvo isn't as prevalent in the cold than it was this summer/spring. Still not out of the woods.

Hope you are having a great evening. 

I wonder if Patton would tolerate wearing dog booties?  Or even a couple pair of little kids socks over his paws?

I've seen them at Petsmart and Petco, and you don't really need the heavy duty ones like REI or anything. I wouldn't want you to spend money on the booties if he wouldn't wear them.  I wonder if you tried socks first?    Just something to give him some added protection.  Of course, it might really bother him, and you're trying to keep him calm so I don't know.

Oh Muffy, you just took me back to when Josef had the mange in the pads of his feet and I had to put socks on him to walk him this summer. 

  He looked so silly.

From what I was told don't let him sniff or get anywhere another dog poops. The tech said DON'T take him to PetsMart  I almost did that last Saturday. So glad I didn't.

 So looking forward for his boosters and his last treatment and the healing from that.
