Taking Petey to the Cardiologist today.....please send him out prayers and good vibes, he has a cough that is getting worse, hoping it's nothing more then pollen, but knowing it could be a very bad sign that his heart has moved on to the next stage of disease.

Hugs, prayers and good vibes to Petey and to you. I'll be thinking of you both.

Well I have been slack and still haven't put up the pix of the sleep over, but I washed the dogs in my hydrobath yesterday and I always used the furminator on Ben....I got a whole shopping bag off him this time!! So glad that wasn't going to be clogging up the filter or drain!
I swear I will be finding blonde hair everywhere for months to come though, I found some in my car this morning and he never even went in it......I am so used to non-shedding dogs.

For months? Try years! hope you can get some pics up.



nice! normie in his bad mojo collar

Good luck, you guys. Gracie was sneezing her ass off a few weeks ago and I think it was due to pollen. There's a high wind warning here again for today and tomorrow. vegas weather sucks .

I digress..............I hope you get a good report at the doc's ((((( vibes )))))

Apparently just like everyone here, we've had crazy early allergies too so hopefully that's all it is.

Good vibes for Petey!

Rolled over in bed on a weekend morning recently and this is what I saw.

[img]Great picture of Tessie, Sailor and Sweet Pea!! I kinda hacked my way into your photobucket :shock: . It's weird....you have different editting options than me. I was able to send it to[/img]MY album and from there I resized the height to < 480 pixels. :wtf:

Might be the first time I ever thanked a hacker :P but I appreciate it! Making that particular photo bigger gives you a little more of a sense of how the experience was for me. Good morning, indeed!

Dude. You have a HAMMOCK?????????????? That is AWWWWESOME!!!! I want one soooo badd! I used to have one at my grandparents house in apple valley. Everytime i would go over, my grampa would get up from his nap and go set it up for me. He hadd a SPECIFIC way of tying it between 2 trees that was PERFECT! I'd lay in it and sleep with Lassie on the ground in petting distance! LOVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVVE Normies pics!!!!!!

it's been perfect hammock weather the last couple weekends...however, the last pic was taken after i fell out of the hammock trying to get out :oops:

Ok here is a pug who goes by the name "bernie mac" need i answer why? He belongs to a friend of mine and i feel really badd for bernie cuz he NEVER gets out for walks OR never gets to sleep inside! :( He's outside rain or shine. *sigh*

bernie is adorable!
i initially wanted a black pug, but of course we fell in love with our igby. too bad bernie is all the way out in cali, otherwise, igby and chloe would be happy to make some space for him up on the bed!



and austicman....my god, your pics are always priceless!
i am continuously amazed how you get them to line up, time and again, for photo shoots!

I just might bring him with me to NYC in a couple weeks and deliver him to you!!! Imagine the pictures of Bernie And Igby with their tongues hanging out as they sleep!!!!

i sent the pic to mr. dream yesterday and we joked about bernie moving in last night. so yea......he'd have a home.



pjaddicted - good thoughts to petey!
norm - there is nothing better than a hammock! i just had my 2010 inaugural swing in ours this past weekend.
and whomever posted the 3 doggies in the morning - LOVE IT!!!
(chloe also does a yawn-howl thing when she wants everyone to get up too)

don't worry...I was in and out....as soon as I found all your personal info, I skedaddled!

seriously though, your photobucket has options like beautify, soften, melt (I'm kind of guessing)....mine has straightforward options like re-size. :wtf:

She's back over this morning and giving me that same look. So I gave her a treat. She's so happy now.


My boy Gizmo lays right next to her on the deck, I'll try and snap a picture of them together.

I'm glad she got her cookie! I hope it was a really good one... there's something about those eyes...

Petey saw the new Cardiologist. The man is amazing, so worth the four hour round trip. Petey's heart has gotten worse over the last four months, but he isn't in heart failure. He is now moderate/severe occult stage. The Cardiology said with out meds he is about six months to a year away from heart failure. With meds we may be able to shrink his enlarging heart and buy him more time. He put Petey on a coctail of four different meds. We will see him again for another Echo-cardiogram and Holter Monitor, to see if the meds are working, if not he will add a stronger med, the big gun of DCM. I feel good now to have a competent doctor on our side, the other two were waiting for heart failure to treat Petey with meds, this guy does it while there is still quality time left. Petey and I were in the examining room for two hours, the doctor spent at least an hour talking to me about the disease and expectations. He didn't think the stem cells were right for us for now, but will revisit that option three months from now. He told me about the people doing it, they are out of options, dogs are in the latter stages. I still feel very sad, trying so hard to get back to the happy place I was on December 9th, right before I opened the Email containing his test results. My world has been turned upside down since. Continued prayers, good vibes, positive energy that these meds kick in and his heart stops enlarging. He could get a couple of years of quality life if that happens. I would be grateful for every month we get together.

Here is my beautiful boy at the Cardiologists examination room. Petey was AWESOME, he laid on the table and didn't move at all. I love this boy, he makes me so proud. He is my best buddy.
