Happy Birthday Ottis and Stuff

Hi Dawgies-
I have been getting my regular exercise and it feels great. The Mommy and I are on a regular schedule now of walking at least 2 times a day and for Halloween we walked for over an hour going from house to house. I have an appointment at the doctor tomorrow and can't wait to see what I weigh.
I want to wish my brother Ottis the cat a Happy 15th Birthday. He is an old man but still looks great.
I love this weather with the leaves all falling - but do beware - the Mommy found a tick on me the other day so those bad guys are still out there. The tick was all blown up too - it was really gross.
Make sure you keep up with your vaccinations so those bad boys don't get you sick!
I will let you know how my visit with the doctor goes. Paws crossed for good news!

Calling all Fur Mommas - Need some Advice

Calling all Fur Mommas

Calling all Fur Mommas



My Mom and I have a question.


I went to see the Doctor yesterday and he said I have a knee problem. Specifically, he said I have a luxating patella STAGE 3 (YIKES). Mom and I have been doing some research and it seems that my knee will eventually get worse and I will need a surgery. I am only 2 years old - WTF?????


We wanted to reach out to all you fur babies and see if you ever had this luxating patella or knew anybody who did and get some advice.


My mommy is not rushing into anything since it does not bother me but really wants to know if anyone has experience with this problem.


Thanks.

If you are a visual type - here is a pic of my problem:

Good News, Bad News

Hi Furends,

Good News - My lump was gone so we came to the conclusion that it must have been the shots I got and everything is a OK now.

Bad News - Jet had to get a catheter last night because his peeer hole was healing so well that it was healing shut or at least too small which could cause the same problem he had before. It was really gross the catheter was sticking out and (you know) there was no bag so the Mommy had to lock him in the extra bathroom so she could keep the house clean. The Mommy went to bed last night around 11pm and checked on him at 6am this morning and Jet managed to remove the cone around his head and pulled the catheter completely out and it was a long tube.

The mommy has to call the doctor this morning and see what we can do now - the catheter thing is not going to work for us. We may just wait and see what happens because Jet totally hates the VET and bites him all the time. He won't even let them look at him - they have to give him sleepy medicine to get near him.
Poor kitty - maybe they should just leave him alone. He is happy when he is home.

Chillin and Check Ups

Hi Furends,

Not much going on in my house - just chillin and enjoying the nice weather we are having. Tonight Jet is scheduled to go to the VET for his check up - (we think he is all better) and the mommy said I may have to go too. When the VET gave me my shots at the last visit, I now have a hard ball under my fur. The mommy has been rubbing it but it is is still there. We thinks it might be the medicine so we are getting it checked tonight. I can't even feel it but the mommy is concerned. After tonight, Jet and I hope we don't have to go to the VET for a long time.

Jet Speaks

Hi - My name is Jet. Rosie said I could blog for her today to tell you my story. See I was abducted by aliens. I don't remember much but I know they did some alien research and testing on me and they stole my jewels. I have included a very graphic picture of what they did to me at the end of this post so if you have a weak stomach stop reading now.

The aliens also put this thing around my neck and the hoomans have not been able to figure out how to get it off yet. I asked Rosie to try too but she is just a dog (no offensive doggies - the cats will understand).
See her below she is trying to figure out how it works and instead of getting it off - she decided to lick the extra cat food that got stuck on the end after I had dinner. Typical Pug.

Then I thought maybe she had it figured out.
Nope she went right to my back side (another typical Pug move). OK the graphic pic is coming up - all you males out there get ready to wince.

YIKES - and yes it does hurt but I am feeling better.

Hope those aliens plan of doing something good with my jewels.

Peace out - Jet

UTI not UFO

We went to the VET last night. My check up was just fine - I weigh 23.8 lbs and got 3 shots. The shots did not hurt one bit because my bum is nice and fluffy (so the doctor said). He said I was a beautiful girl and everybody loved me.

Jet on the other hand did not have such a nice visit. He did not want the doctor to touch him and was hissing and trying to bite him. They had to give him some medicine just to look at him. He did not come home with us last night so I can only guess that this guy took him.
and they went on this:

The mommy said he has a UFO and blocked peeer. I am not real clear on how they are related but they said a lot of cats get these UFO's. I knew cats were a little spacey. I am guessing that the UFO must bring him somewhere to fix his peeer thingy. All sounds a little strange to me. I heard the mommy tell the littles that he should be home tonight. The mommy also said that these UFO trips were expensive. I will fill you in on his trip when he gets home.

UTI = Antibiotics

I see a cat.
I see a cat pee.
I see our cat Jet.
I see our cat Jet pee.
I see mommy.
I see mommy cleaning.
I see mommy cleaning up Jets pee.
Yup - that is what is going on in my house. Jet the cat has something wrong with his peeer and has been invited to my VET appointment tonight.
I am getting a check up and Jet is getting a peeer inspection (hehehehe).
No seriously - I hope he is OK. Mom things he has a UFO or something.
He was not feeling well over the weekend but seems to be better now. I think his peeer was stuck for a few days. My mommy said the UFO was the problem and he may need some antirobotics to cure him. I am not sure if the robots are taking him on the UFO but the mommy said he should be OK.
I just want a simple check up with no space aliens please.

VET VISIT

The daddy had to take me to the V.E.T. today and they said I had a bacteria infection - huh??? - all I know is they gave the daddy some pills to give me and they gave me some at the office. I am feeling better already. :)
They told the daddy that I must have been stressed from the doggie daycare and it could cause me to get sick - go figure!! He said that stress could really damage a doggie. So make sure all you doggies out there are staying happy and unstressed - take it from me - you do not want this infecstions thing it is not pretty.
BTW - they also squeezed me which helped too. In a few more days I hope to be back to 100%.
Wishing you all good thoughts and a wonderful rest of your weekend!
Love,
Rosie
