Guest vahoundlover Posted June 15, 2008 Share Posted June 15, 2008 Thinking about you and Festus. Glad he is having good days! Sorry to hear about your new found friend. Hopefully you will find him soon Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forevermybabies Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 The white cat came back a few minutes ago. I was cooking some eggs. I guess he loved the smell. He's now licking out a can of dog food. Don't ask me why, but he seems to be enjoying himself. Festus is tired today. He took his pills and ate about 1/2 lb of hamburger. Now he's sleeping again. He's on the bed on the livingroom floor with Angel on the floor next to him. My receptionist has her 80th bday party today. I don't have a present for her! I don't know what to get. When I find something I know she'd like or need, I get it for her. So now I don't have anything! Rats! I'm supposed to be there in about an hour. Ideas?

Forevermybabies Posted June 15, 2008 Author Share Posted June 15, 2008 She does love art...I was thinking about that. I don't know if I have anything around. She works at the art center, so she's pretty much seen all my stuff. I was thinking a GC to the grocery store. Seems so darn practical. I got her flowers Friday (her actual birthday), and she's diabetic, so chocolate is out. I might have to go with the GC. I know she'd definitely USE it. I was going to paint something for her, but am hopelessly uninspired. Maybe I'll get her a GC and paint her something later. I know where to find her...

Guest Becki Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 I am glad the white cat came home. We think of you often Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest luvRgreys Posted June 16, 2008 Share Posted June 16, 2008 Just saw this, so very sorry for Festus and you! Lost our Buddy to this dread disease also, just not fair. Fixed beef stew for my husband, but put it on my face so Buddy could give me kisses before we lost him(he wasn't a kisser!) and I still can feel his kisses Just love your Festus every minute, I know you will.

Forevermybabies Posted June 17, 2008 Author Share Posted June 17, 2008 Well, Festus is downright perky today. And the bloating is all gone. Well, maybe not ENTIRELY gone, but his tuck is back. Anyone else with a lymphoma dog see this? Quote Tami, Nikki & Gypsy (non-greyhounds, but still pretty good dogs.)

Guest KyGrey Posted June 17, 2008 Share Posted June 17, 2008 Do you think maybe he just held his breath and blew up like that so you would get him some raw chicken and hamburger?? :lol Seriously, he looks great!!! Hoping the diagnosis is incorrect and he has many days, weeks, months and years ahead. :grouphug Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
