Bevd Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Oh Darcy you sweetie. Jilly gives jack a similar look when he tries to help himself to her pink purse too. You hang on to it love. You know what - when I bought that for Jilly's SS parcel, I didn't get one for my gang and was really fed up about it when I thought of it afterwards, so I was very pleased indeed when a friend included one in the dogs stocking (I'm such a child) Today is vet check day (5pm) so I'll update after that Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.

Bevd Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Darcy went for her vet check-up this afternoon. She was checked over, peered at, listened to, tickled and then..........

Bevd Posted February 27, 2008 Author Share Posted February 27, 2008 Thanks everyone! A slightly calmer vet visit report now Firstly, when we were in the waiting room, one of Darcys main nurses (from when she was very poorly for that week) came out to say hello and then got all tearful and upset because of how much coat she's lost and how different she looks - and then she was all embarassed about getting weepy but we thought it was lovely and sweet. I'm just glad she didn't see Darcy 3 weeks ago when she was at her most...hairless. At least now it's starting to grow back (black) and cover up some of the bald patches Then we went in to see the vet. He did all his usual stuff (including laughing at Darcy's....Darcy-ness) and then he said "well, I think we've done pretty well" There is of course, no guarantee that *it* has gone - only the passage of time will tell that for sure (and the vet said something about the fact that if within the next couple of months Darcy doesn't do anything odd which we won't even think about, then that's really good news and looks very positive indeed). When we were talking about her hair growing back again, he said something about 'next year'. I do so love it when he uses words like that So, although we are realistic in that we are aware that there are no guarantees about *it* having really gone away altogether, as things stand, she's signed off and he doesn't need to see her again After we got all that sorted, I produced a printed sheet for the staff notice board, inviting all staff to Darcy's 6th Birthday party which - all things allowing - will take place on Sunday 6th April. Without those people, there would be no chance of her having this party. I know some peeps will be on call so they'll not be able to come but some of the nurses and other staff have said they will definately be there. Mr Thomas (the vet man) would come....if he wasn't in America on that day (He gets back the day after - grrr). I don't think the staff know what they're letting themselves in for, agreeing to come to a party, Chez Doyle : Quote Deerhounds Darcy, Duffy, Grace & Wellington, Mutts Sprout & Buddy, Lurchers Ned & Jake plus Ella the Westie + cats.
