Hope I don't embarrass myself or make you feel uncomfortable.....but.....
How do you explain to a poochie (Tucker) about the "Birds and the Bees"? Oh yes, he is neutered and it isn't about him.
It is getting down right laugh out loud funny for us (because what else can we do!) that a..... whenever we are intimate....Tucker barks like crazy! I know someone out there is going through the same thing with their furfamily.....
Now Tucker has figured out that he can jump on our bed (need I remind you our bed is high off the floor) recently and what a surprise that was!
Tucker, Tucker, Tucker....really in all the years we have had poochies, this is the first time we have have this kind of distraction.
Agador made the turn of feeling better! I tell you, yesterday I was quite worried as he stopped wanting the baby food that he was willing to eat and he stopped drinking again. I was deciding that he would be going back to the vet for more fluids and maybe discussing what we should do next.
WELL.....he decided to eat some Tuna at 7:00 P.M. and was chomping down big time. He drank from the sink (I didn't care where he drank water just so long as he would drink!), he peed and ...I breathed a sigh of relief.
Today I caught him eating Leela and Luna's food ( I don't care! Eat all of it...just keep eating!), he drank water, he's using the litter box...and he was bathing himself!!! Yes, Agador is almost....Agador once again.
Thank you for all the Power of the Paw Prayers....
hugs from each of us to all of you!
Our visit to the vet was not a trip Agador enjoyed. Yes, he growled and made awful sounds when we extracted him from his crate. We had to unscrew it to lift him out because he was not going to come out without a struggle.
He tolerated the temperature taking and was 103 (kitties should be under 102, that being high as well), so we know he is sick. Then we had to wait and I brought out his blanket from the crate and he lay on it, much happier than the formica table top. I folded it around him to let him "hide" from the room. He kept eyeing the crate and I could tell he just wanted to crawl inside and go home.
When dear Dr. Endo came in (she was the one who took care of our Annie and did her surgery), she listened as I explained all that had been going on with Agador. She listened with her stethoscope which Agador did not like and kept growling. Then she took him to have blood drawn, to have subcutaneous water injected, vitamins and then antibiotics.
After that Agador said enough, take me home.
He seemed perkier after the fluids were given. Still not interested in food nor would he drink voluntarily. He did a big pee in the litter box this morning and thankfully he has not vomited since Sunday night. Yeah!!!!!
Dr. Endo called to say all the blood work came back fine except for some unknown cause of a bad infection. I've decided to bring him in today to check his temperature and to give him some more fluids. I just want to keep him hydrated to help fight the infection he has. Hopefully the broad spectrum antibiotics will do the job and he will bounce back.
Please keep the Power of the Paws Prayers going for Mr. Agador!
This isn't suppose to happen. Not on my guard. No sirree!
Agador has taken ill over the weekend while I kitty sit him for my daughter. He hasn't eaten since Friday morning and has had vomiting of food sometime early Sat morning and since then clear liquidy vomit though not constantly. Sporadically. It breaks my heart to see him so unhappy looking.
We go in this morning to the vet to have him checked out. I know he will need liquids as I don't think he is drinking enough. He has been very quiet the past 24 hours with occasional walking around and last night he did, as we call it, mashed potatoes on my husband's chest as well as purred, but just before bedtime at 10:30 he vomited three times of the liquid and I had the worst time sleeping because of concern. All I could do was hold him close next to me, stroke him softly and let him know that he was loved and must not miss his mommy too much.
So far the only way I can get him to drink is from the bathroom faucet turned low where he has always enjoyed slurping from. Oh Agador please be okay....
My daughter is very hard to get a hold of as she is volunteering on a farm near Big Sur in California. No internet and no cell service and though there is a phone it is very hard to get anyone to pick up as they are either working making cheese, or tending to the chickens, goats and gardening. I did get a hold of her this morning to let her know and she trusts me (thank you dear!) to do what is the right thing to take care of Agador. She was a Veterinary Tech. for about 6 years so we discussed Agador's symptoms.
Power of the paw prayer please!
Sunday = Tucker time
Checking out the tomatoes = don't touch
Pink soccer ball = play time
Come on mom...put the camera down and play with me!
What happens in the big bathtub out here?
Yes, what will happen when the pool is warm enough to swim in? Will Tucker be joining us? Or like Stewie and watch from the top of the deck.
Mr. Tucker.......
When we go out must you chew on something you shouldn't?
Well, if you had to pick one thing to chew on then this isn't the worst you could have done. I know, I know.....we should have fed you early before we went out to dinner because come dinner time you just go bonkers and you must be fed.
But seriously. How did you decide to chew on the kitty water bowl? I should be grateful that is was empty (?) in that I didn't have puddles of water anywhere. I'm sure that because it was empty it became a great toy to fling around, chew, toss, chew, box, chew, then you cleverly hid it in the family room for us not to find.
Oh Tucker.....you are such a silly boy!
I leave you with the non-destructive Stewie. Peacefully he lays in the poochie bed......
Then a playtime picture of Stewie and Tucker....
Sleep...
Naps.....
Puppy dreams with little yips and twitching paws....
Kitty cuddles.....
Agador...says
"My 'Do Not Disturb sign' is up"
"Please let me stay in your bed....please?"
"Mewwwwww you took my covers! Now I give you the kitty stare of disgust"
Stewie in his puppy den of comfort and safety...on my side of the bed....all covered up with his blue blankie....content.....I use to want to get him a special bed in our room but the crate IS his special bed. He made that clear to us....
Tucker....in the bed he would like to sleep in instead of his crate at night. And we would, only he jumps up and barks at the littlest sound as though a prowler is lurking outside....sorry Tucker but only during the day do you get this bed. His crate on Daddy's side and toys strewn all over the floor.
Lastly Leela and Luna, sisters who rarely are apart....sleeping in a basket that really is too small for them but that is where they choose to slumber. Luna making sure to keep Leela's whiskers short as she grooms her constantly.
