Oh, Soul! Aren't stuffies just the best! Yee-haw! Re: water - have heard that adding a little sweetened condensed milk makes it irresistable to some!

Sending butterfly kisses and healing white light to Lee! We're all pulling for you!

Has his urine been cultured? Something in the dark recesses of my memory wants to say that urine cultures may show the presence of bacteria when a urinalysis cannot. Can anyone shed some light on this?

I think I'm in love! He's absolutely stunning! Like he doesn't know it either, right??? I have no experience with casts or broken bones or anything skeletal. Just had to pledge my undying love for studly Parker. Heal quickly, Parker-honey, because Mom and Dad need some sleep.

Whew! What a relief! Cut and dried - my favorite type of diagnosis! I'll bet Zoe needs some rest and Mom might do well with a cold one....................soda, that is!

Sounds like the perfect post-surgical chemo-supportive eating plan to me! Does my heart good to see Ember playing and reading that Polli is back to being her old demanding self. Chicks rule!

Sending lots of white light and prayers for Zoe and Paula. Please give us an update when you can!

All of Florida is checking in this PM. How's our boy doing? We have the prayer chain going for the big day on Friday! We love ya', Soul man! Amber, we've got your back! You know that, right??? Hugs and prayers all around.

Fabulous chart! Thank you very much, Pam!

What a beautiful tribute to an incredible dog. He's running free now, pain free, on all fours! Run, Bodie, run! Rhonda, I hope that the pain in your heart is eased by the knowledge that you and Bodie were meant to take this journey together. How wonderful that he was there for you when you needed him most and you repaid him in kind. I am so sorry for your loss.

Oh, this just made my week! I can't imagine the joy in your heart to be able to type the words "...she's back!". You go, Miss Polli, and don't let Mom forget it! "She ate..."? Oh, my goodness! And she's running! Be still my heart! Eating, sleeping, running, barking demands, cookies - the works! Miss Polli, we love you!

Many prayers for Lee and Patti. Sending healing white light from FL to KY.

I had another very lengthy answer posted and then deleted it when I saw the good news! I'm so glad she will be going home! Home is where her heart is, I am sure!

from The Girls, and loads of prayers and conforting white light light for you and your DH! Hand in there. We are all praying for you and sharing in your pain. You are never alone!

Holly said it perfectly! How wonderful for you to have that memory! We will be with you in spirit tomorrow and all our Bridge Kids are waiting to welcome Bodie to his next home. Sending comfort and prayers to you!

I am ssoo glad Soul was able to sleep last night! I can't imagine your joy at seeing him greet you with tail wagging! Here's to a very calm, restful weekend and no bloody poop. Deep cleaning breaths.............iiiinnnnnnnnnnnnnn and ooooooouuuuuuuuuuuuuttttttttttttttttttttt! There now. Don't you feel better??? We're still sending healing white light to you and Soul.

Who says "brownies" have to be brown? Ok, so maybe "cakies" would be more appropriate! Hey, "whatever" works, right? Oh, I can't wait to hear the outcome of this one - Tom, you WILL let us know the outcome of your inquiry regarding alternative treatments, correct? Good for Ember! Eat, baby girl - Eat!

Look forward to hearing what the 2nd specialist has to offer. Hand in there! Prayers and healing light going out to you!

He's gorgeous! Get better, Hobbes!

for Corina

I'm with Patricia and the Zofran. When Nikki was going thru chemo for lymphosarcoma Zofran made all the difference in the world. As far as food is concerned, let her eat what she wants to eat, whenever she wants to, however much she wants to. She can make up for it later! Please take care of yourself! She needs to know that you're OK. WE need to know that you're OK - especially with all you have gone through! You and Polli have an army in the trenches! BTW: I just gave away the last of the baby food meats that Nikki wouldn't eat either.

On a very basic, instinctual level, Soul knows exactly what's good for him - like being passed out in the chair. Follow his lead with all the love and encouragement you can muster. He needs you now more than ever. He needs to know that the leader of the pack is going to take care of everything around him so that he can concentrate on getting better. Hang in there and indulge............both of you! Hugs for you and scritches for Soul. We're all praying for you!

What a horrific experience! SO glad Grandpa is up and around again! Loads of prayers, hugs and healing white light from our home to yours. Please let us know how he's doing!

.............with a little help from our friends. Hugs all around. Hug your hounds for me.

The forces of nature are just too mysterious to try and figure out, but not to worry. I am so glad that you are having these good days with Bodie! He will let you know when it's time. Until then, keep looking up, kiss him for all of us who hold him so dear and hold him close to your heart at every opportunity. Such a sweet boy. Prayers for all of you.
