Pups - Past and Present

Good News

Heidi went to the doctor and her test for her kidneys came back normal, her liver test still came back high but the doctor said he is not worried about that yet. the important thing was to get her kidneys back in good working order. That old girl is a tank

Dear friends, if your people get new bed pillows make sure they give you the old ones. They fit perfectly under the desk.

update on Heidi

My sister Heidi went back to the doctor on monday, her new BUN test number is 60 down from 126 the last time, my mom says that is good news. Mom says that her liver numbers have gone up, that is bad news. Heidi has another round of pills to take, and special yucky dog food to eat. we hope in 2 weeks at her next doctor visit all her numbers have gone down.

Tippy's sister Heidi is sick, she has come down with a kidney infection and it has made her kidneys stop functioning the way they should. Her first bun test (Blood Urea Nitrogen) had her level at 140, normal level should be 34 or lower. the doctor gave her an antibiotic shot and pills. She seemed to get better for a few days, then seemed to take a turn for the worse. Mom and gramma took her back to the doctor and her bun level number had gone up higher, the doctor said it was not looking good for her but he gave her a bag of fluids and sent her home. a few days later dad took her back to have her checked, (mom and dad both thought she was not comming home again) but her bun levels have come down and she has more energy so mom and dad think she is on the road to recovery. She needs to go back to the doctor next week for a check, we are all hoping for good news

Tippy is sooooooo happy! Me and my mom finally get to read the last Harry Potter book. Maybe this is the book where we find out that Harry has a dog and his dog saves the day. I'm sure thats how it is going to end.

Today is the last day of vacation for my mom. We had a nice relaxing week. She stayed home with me all week. She didnt go to grammas house because her fish tank seems to have a problem and she has to put medicine in it every day and dad wont do it because he hates fish. I did help my mom get alot of knitting and crocheting done. we finished 1 and a half pair of socks, a baby afghan and started a mohair scarf. My sister Elsie is in the picture with the scarf, (I got tired of having my picture taken and I went and buried myself under my blankies in my cage). and of course we watched our Chicago Cubs sweep the Houston Astros!
