JSM's BEGGING FOR BAN THREAD #19 8/05/10 - 8/27/10

[Brandi]

Update on Lumpy

The vet took bloodwork and gave him a complete exam. He agreed that he had lost a fair amount of weight but didn't want to change his dosage of meds without the lab tests but suggested I give him a special supliment. He also pointed out that Hobbs has lost about 50 lbs but again it has to do with lack of appetite due to heat and humidity.
He looked at me like I'd grown another head when I asked him his opinion of an airconditioned stall   He suggested that if the huge barn fan (sounds like a jet revving up) scares them to go buy 3 or 4 quiet fans and put them around the barn. I'm sure he thinks i"m NUTS

I'll know in 3 or 4 days his lab results and they will adjust his meds or not.

By the way Hobbs stole his hat

Had to log in to tend to donkey business!

So glad to hear Lumpy is okay. I sure hope his tests come back with flying colors!

Let me know if I got the donkeys right in these!

Hobbs with the vet's hat!

Silly Hobbs tried to play keep-away and gave the hat to Lumpy so he'd feel better

Did I get the guys right? If not, please label them from left to right for me so I'll be sure to remember their names.

Hope everyone is doing well.

I read every day, every post!

Yeah Brandi's here
The donks have missed you (me too)!

From lt to rt...Hobbs,Otis,Cappy,The Lumpster

The vet orders these hats from Canada and is VERY protective of them so Hobbs only goes after his hat the little stinker. He KNOWS!

Hi 4 Donks!!!

I'll fix the pictures! I was close. LOL

BBIAB with the images fixed.

I missed talking to you too!

[4 Donks]

Brandi all the pictures you've done of the donks have been printed, laminated and posted up in the barn in the workroom I have up there. I just get such joy when I look at them. THANKS

Oh, that's so cool! Send me more! LOL Seriously, send me some more to work with if you have some.

     

Now, refresh the page and see if I got it right this time. Hobbs with the hat!

Brandi in that picture of Lumpy you can see his bus ::MonkeyHaHa::hy bangs and he was like that all over due to his Cushings and I had to clip him to keep him anywhere near comfy during the hot weather. You have to admit he looks like Ringo of the Beatles

They are all adorable!

I just love looking at them.

I designed an Autumn avatar for you the other night. I'll post it when I post the others, and let you know when I do.

I still would love to have more images from you though.

hi everybody..
GreenEyes..I am laughing about you walking around scratching your bum! too funny...
Allergies must be awful right now! everyone seems to be affected by them! DILs are both miserable with it! headaches and watery eyes...glad I don't have allergies..

I pampered myself this afternoon after I took the grand daughters home...went to 5 Guys Burgers with my son, DIL and 2 grand daughters AFTER I got a pedicure and my nails done..then after dinner I went to get a massage...Tolerance you will know this place.. Weiss Morris Spa...love that place...so now I am all relaxed and feeling groovy...hmmmm...maybe a nice glass of wine and a few Dove Chocolates to top it all off...

Girl, your life is my dream!!
BTW, PJ and I often walk as far as WM Spa.  If that is the one I think it is ............ near the doctor office and the car dealership?  across Fincham from the new senior housing?   If that it the right one you could have gone right from Fincham onto Anee Dr and found me and PJ.   How was 5 Guys Burgers?  I am going to have to postpone trying it.  I have eaten my way through missing Brian and have gained about 30 pounds over my fighting weight so have begun a new eating plan which certainly does NOT include burgers.................sigh...............I am so glad you had such a glorious day.   Wonderful.

ok..I have seen Anee Drive..definitely know where Fincham is...there is so much senior housing lately..do you mean the one across from the big movie theater complex?
WM is by the Toyota Dealership...across from Forest Plaza...
this is so fun talking to someone who lives where I live! you know all the same places that I know..
5 Guys was really good..you could eat just the hamburger, no bun...go on the Southbeach Diet..I love that diet..can eat all you want of the right foods...
anyone tried Weight Watchers? how is their food?
Goodnite Rosie! I might not be far behind..

The new senior housing is at the corner of Fincham and Anee.  and so , Yes, I had the right place and so did you. 
Anee goes quite a way South of Fincham and I live near the end by the cul de sac.      What a riot that we are neighbors.  As to diet..........I fought my weight all my life and usually won the battle.  (It is fairly easy when you travel and work w/ all men) but Brian died and my job was lost to the economy all w/in 8 months.  I have eaten to comfort myself.  It did not work.  I just got fat, not comforted. 
Food is NOT solace.  Food is nourishment.  I need to remember that.   

Thanks for listening.
and
Good morning, Monkeys!

Tolerance I was reading back and wanted you to know how sorry I am about your husband. Your pup is adorable and will definitely help you get through the bad times..After my husband died I was lost and we had bought 60 acres to retire on and I had never lived outside a city in my life. You will be amazed how adaptable you can be. If you sell your house and move to an apartment you will be so busy with all the details of moving and meeting new neighbours that time will fly. As they say "Keep on keeping on"  Best wishes for your new adventures.

Aw, thank you, 4Donks!   It is hard, isn't it?!.   With regard to adapting:  I have to brag..............I replaced all the 'innards' of one of the toilets last weekend.  I went on the internet and read, then I took a pic of my toilet inder the tank lid, went to Home Depot, got the right parts, came home and installed them...................IT WORKS.............no more little leaky noise!!
It will be quite a while before the market in my area will allow for selling our home, but I look forward to that day and as you say:  I just Keep on Keeping On.
Hugs. and ear rubs coming your way.
Pat

Brandi,
are your graphic skills self taught? or are you a graphic designer by profession?
Your talent is wonderful and blesses the whole Monkey Family!
