WFUBCC #231 - Dog Days of Summer

[sabrina]

Glad to here you have no after effects from your  spill yesterdsy Miss Jen

Ms Lucy what about you ?  Back feeling better ?

Wishing all sweet dreams,  Bitzi 

[Patsy]

I would say stoned and pissed. 🤣

Yea for sticking that landing!  The phrase in my household is "were your toes pointed?"

Safe travels to everybuddy.  I so hope Jim can have a calm time.

You can all have a good laugh at my expense.  I realized whilst standing in Target today I had never ever in my life bought a lampshade and didn't know what to look for  🤪😵‍💫  I grabbed something that looked about the same as the dead one on my headboard.  Turns out I should have looked inside since not all lampshade insides are the same.  No knew?  Obviously knot me.  So now I have to go back to Target tomorrow to return the first one and hopefully get a proper replacement.  🙄

Have a safe long weekend everybuddy.

Cindy, I think if you keep it dry and sealed in a bag, it should be good until y'all get the first hard frost.     OK, I do KNOT want to know anything about whatever this is

Miss Jennie

[Jenbo]

Yes, my toes were pointed, I am a former tumbler/low level gymnast after all 

As you all know, madre is difficult.  I emailed her today and asked her if she could remember i have limited free time,  I'm happy to help, and perhaps she could be polite and kind  instead of beng rude if I don't jump high enough or fast enough? I have a full time job/home/dogs and i cant be available 24/7. And that my step bro can help, too. The last time I called her out on her behavior, she didn't respond with any politeness at all. I don't have high hopes but it needed to be said.

I did present this to her as, I don't understand the tension here or why you're irritated or annoyed, please help me understand. 

[palmettobug]

I was talking about Fizzy's SERESTO, not Gabe's Huevos. 

And CA Jenn, good for you. NO is a full sentence. You have to go Cesar Millan on narcissists, rules-boundaries-limitations.

Kibble kisses and Buddy Bisket dreams!!

 Good morning!

Greetings from Chicago!  We spend two nights here before boarding our ship in Milwaukee.  We are at the Four Seasons hotel (!!!) with a room in the 46th floor overlooking the city.  Lovely!   We had a very busy travel day yesterday with a short layover in Detroit ( thank you Delta!). Our flight came into C 26 and our departing flight was at A73, so we had to really MOVE to get from gate to gate.  Jim did really well traveling but that part wore him out to the point where he was getting pale and not feeling well.  I was getting nervous but we made it to the gate and to our seats.  He felt better after a drink of water.

Our Welcome Dinner for the group was fun with great entertainment- a 1920’s flapper theme before dinner (think “and all that jazz!”) with two very talented performers- there is a picture of me with them on FB.  After dinner there was a really fun Motown group that sounded like the real thing!

we were tired by the time we got back to the hotel!

This morning is a tour of Millenium Park, then our afternoon and evening are free to do what we want.

I hope everyone is healing (especially Gabe!)

Good crack of dawn everybuddy. I too wondered exactly wot was being kept dry and sealed in a bag🙀. Several mental images appeared. None of them good. 
Yea Jen for a well reasoned email to Madre. We can all hope. Kathy and Jim are living the high life!  

Yes Ducky, several of us are aware you promised us a story WEEKS ago and have knot come thru with it. *insert Auntee Patsee glare here*

Hang in there Gabe or more accurately don't hang in there. Good things are ahead.

Uuuummmmm...  Miss Vanessa???  Just what is Miss Cindy sposed to keep dry in a bag for two munfs????? 

Exactly!  I had the same reaction.

Patsy, lampshades can be trickier than you'd think.  It's not just whether the lamp has a harp or takes a clip-on shade.  There are other subtleties as well and that's not getting into design and whether a shade looks good.

[palmettobug]

Gud sticky Satonday! We got a three day weekend, and dat meens lots ob crazee tourists on da roads. 

[Potomacpupsmom]

Chris!   For breakfast at the hotel this morning I had a Midwestern omelette and they used Tillamook cheddar cheese.   Yum!

 

[LBass]

Nutmeg, Zavvi knocked some sense into his own head on the door frame!    I hope the liddle guy is OK.

AP, that infraction ob the Club rules was clearly Miss Chris' fault. I'm glad she's able to recognize that.

Gabe, I remember that feeling after all these years.  You'll be OK again really soon.

Miss Patsy, I hope phase 2 ob the lampshade replacement does the trick. 

for Mister Jim, rallying when exhausted to handle the angst ob air travel like a champ.  

I fink the baggie is for the partially used Seresto collar.

Nate

My back is incrementally better today and that's even after I stopped taking Aleve.  Trainer Jen really wants me to see my doctor and perhaps a chiropractor, to be safe and careful.  My plan is to call and discuss the situation with my GP Monday and decide whether I need a visit and whether he thinks a chiropractor will help.  I'm antsy about missing classes and workouts because I really do not want to lose the physical progress I've made so far.    Lucy

Hello my Friendlies!!

Miss Loosy we're glad your trainer Jen sounds like a sensible and cawshuss trainer doodette!!  And you gots a plan for moving forward.    

Miss Kathy, that Tillamook cheese is our favorite!!  Momma's always got some shredded in the cheese drawer, but her favorite is the white cheddar extra aged slices.    Maybe your free time this affernoon will be a good time for a napping.    Momma and Daddy have spended a week in that Chicago at the Four Seasons way back when in '92 or '93.  They both loved Chicago!  Here's Miss Kathy and the two performers from their dinner!!

 

Miss Patsy we hope you find a good replacement shading for you lamp today!!

Miss Kathy & Miss Vanessa  mom says you both have dogs that get Llibrela , right ?  Now she has read it works &read the horror stories of some houndies that took it. Since she knows you she is asking you what do think of it & if your dogs have had any negative reactions  taking it.  How long have they been on it ? I will be  11 this Sept & my  rear left leg makes me limp sometimes & I dont get up the back steps to the porch like I use to. I still like to walk but my Zoomies are short if at all.  right now I get Gabapentin  60mg twice a day So please let her know what you think OK ?

Bitzi,senior dog 

[Potomacpupsmom]

Bitzi, Ivy has been getting Librela shots since last November and it is amazing to see the difference in her with the first dose or so!  She is doing zoomies, chasing after Cherry and is running more at playgroup with the other hounds.  She is 11 years old too.

Thank you for posting my picture Miss Chris!  Their performance was really good!

We spent the morning on a leisurely walking tour of Millennium Park.  We even got to see Cloudgate AKA “ The Bean”.   Jim handled it well but became very tired by the end so we came back to our hotel afterwards and I convinced him to lay down and take a nap.  

Tonight we are going to an Italian restaurant with our friends Bob and Laurie then packing for our move to the ship tomorrow afternoon. In the morning we are doing a Chicago architectural tour from a boat sailing the Chicago River.  We will be having lunch as a group before we head to Milwaukee to board the ship.  We will be sure to  to Wiki and Jerilyn in the general direction of Green Bay!

Correction I take 300mg not 60mg of Gabapentin  2 times a day.  I take a daily Dasuquin .

Miss Kathy thanks for getting back to me so quickly.  Mom is going to talk the vet. It scares her when I am not doing well 

Bitzi going back to sleep & mom is waiting for the weather to improve so the Penn State vs West Va football game can start up.

Well, Cindy, the person they were going to get Gabe from Pittsburgh to you turns out to be me!    Cindy Carley just PM'd me on Facebook asking if Doug and I could help.  I said yes.  I'll PM you here about where we can meet, or we can even phone, closer to the 11th.

[BatterseaBrindl]

     From the Desk.   Whew.  It has been a bizzy day.

 

Faboo picture, Kathy!   How sober, there is no way in he77 that I would ever go higher than the second floor in any hotel/motel/apartment/condo.  Besides being petrified of heights….What if there was a fire?!?

Back in the spring I asked my Vet abut the Librela for Sid and she said it did have more side effects than Cartrophen, and I had very good results with it for. Nixon and Nigel.  PlusAlso the Librela was way more expensive.  

Ok.  Almost time for our first dinner guests…

[palmettobug]

The only negative I have seen are more pees (two as opposed to his usual one per walk) and it seems to wear off before the 30 day period. Maybe some stomach upset, but that might be the carprofen. I have seen improvement not only in his movement, but attitude as well.

[Jenbo]

Kathy, I did the boat architecture tour when in Chicago last July. It was really neat!

Richard and I did it, too. I went to a conference in Chicago and we took the train.   This is also when I discovered I don’t sleep on trains.). It was a great tour.

[sabrina]

So much sports on TV they didnt even do any news. Not that news is really news

I am to sleep town,  Have a greyt nigth all , ,me too Wendy 

[macoduck]

Caroline, one of my hounds had 2 doses of Librela over 3 months time. I can't remember which dog but there were no bad side effects. We stopped because it didn't seem to help much.

There is a Facebook page focusing on Librela issues. My vet also follows it. I agree with what she said: the stories owners post about the bad things that happened to their dogs while on Librela always seem to leave out what other preexisting conditions the dog may have had, and that people are more apt to post negative stories than positive ones. I followed the page for a while but left after I saw too many owners who posted positive results get threatened by others who'd had bad results. My vet has been using it for over 2 years now and has not had any issues with her patients.

Perhaps try it for 3 months and then decide if you want to continue.

 

[FiveRoooooers]

Unlurking for Caroline, Punkin has been getting monthly Librela for about eight months now without any side effects. She’s also getting ElleVet CBD and a lot of Gabapentin, as well as other meds for her belly. I’m thrilled with how well she’s doing at almost 13.
