My blog about grief The reality is that you will grieve forever. You will not get over the loss of a loved one; you will learn to live with it. You will rebuild yourself around the loss you have suffered. You will be whole again but you will never be the same. Nor should you be the same, nor would you want to. ― Elisabeth Kübler-Ross Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
4My2Greys Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Robin, I am so glad to hear about Beau's weight gain and that this latest scare is something he will recover from. You've been through so much lately, you definately deserved to get a break and I'm so happy you were given one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MandysMom Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I'm so happy Beau's weight is up and that it appears to "just" be trauma to a toe. What a cute picture--he certainly can turn on the "pity me" vibes just like my Mandy. I hope you and DH can get some rest. Quote Beverly.

lovinggreysslp Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I am so relieved that it is "just some type of trauma'. Beau certainly does look pitiful with his bandaged paw. On the positive side though, it is awesome news that Beau is continuing to gain weight!

Guest greyt2love Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 Robin, I've been away so didn't see this till now. So glad to see this is trauma, and nothing more. While it will be more special care for awhile,it is not life threatening !! Hurray for the weight gain !!! Good news! Goodness knows you and Rich need some right now !! Beau Beau, I cannot show that picture to my hounds. If they copied that pitiful face, they would run the world here !! (not sure they don't now) That face !! Pitiful beyond belief and still, so darn cute ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pipi5 Posted March 14, 2009 Share Posted March 14, 2009 I just bought a new shower head for my bathroom, my other one sprayed more water on the ceiling & the wall than on me. It has a "mister" as one of the settings. Since my fall in December, I've only been able to take "spit baths"...ya know the ones, where you put hot water & soap in the sink then you wash off the "places"....I know everyone is getting a vision...so today I took a very hot shower...I wouldn't wish the past 3 months on my worse enemy....but I sure would wish a long hot shower on them. Robin & family, take time for yourselves. I think you deserve it. I'm so glad BeauBeau is going to be okay now! I love that face & I love your siggie's little pink halo.

RobinM Posted March 15, 2009 Author Share Posted March 15, 2009 Oh Boy. Beau is not going to make this easy for us. We slept in the den last night because of all the steps in our house. Does this sound remotely familar to you all? Excpet I did not sleep all but 2-3 hours. I should be used to that. Beau is refusing to get up every 3-4 hours to pee which he desperately has to, because he is not liking the cast on his leg, does not navigate well without his front leg especially since he has "something" going on in his hips that is being addressed with acupuncture. So, he is leaking onto whatevery he is sleeping on until i get him out which is not easy. it takes both me and Rich to coax him out. My son who has been coming home from lunch at school to let him out and feed him is not going to be able to do this so I will have to come home in the middle of my day until he is moving better. He is depressed and between the pred that makes him like a zombie and now the depression from his momma not being here AND this latest toe issue, he just can't get a break and he is so depressed. I sit with him and stroke him (he's not into the singing thing ) but he will turn away and face the wall. I know this won't last forever but it just sux, feeling like not only did we lose Polli, but Beau is so removed as well. it will only get better, right???

Guest Spencers_Greyt Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 That's so very sad! Only 5 and such troubles! Beau sounds a lot like Spencer with the curving spine thing. Spencer is only 8.

The thing on Beau's pad sounds like a corn but I'm sure the vet will tell you what it is on Monday. Hugs to Beau & you! No corn. Beau was at the vet yesterday had ex-rays and fll exam. He is in a soft cast due to severe toe trauma. Ever notice everything that happens to Beau is "Severe". Sounds like someone needs a DairyQueen? Beau is an IBD dog. For the rest of his life he can have NOTHING but his prescription food and the tilapia he gets as in add in. That's it. Cookies are dried tilapia we make for him.

krissn333 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 for the weight gain! Poor Mr. Beau...the dogs we've had at the kennel that have needed splints or casts always take a few days to get the hang of it because they add quite a bit of weight to the leg. Hopefully he'll get a rhythm established and his hip will not bother him too much since he's having the acupuncture.

duncan41 Posted March 15, 2009 Share Posted March 15, 2009 Oh, that pitiful face! It's such a GOOD thing that he has gained so much weight - which is a testament to the care he's receiving. I feel it's time for some serious chanting to align the sun, moon and stars in order to give this poor little fella a break - not to mention his exhausted Mom and Dad.
