Crossed Paws Please

Today is Lexi's spay day so we'd like to request positive thoughts and crossed paws for her...

We're pretty nervous for her. Even though she's a pain in a patooty, she's kinda grown on us...

We appreciate your good thoughts today. Thank you!

UPDATE: Lexi got home at 4pm and is loopy but doing well. She's resting and hopefully will continue to do so throughout the night. She's been sniffed but not hissed at so, yes, that means we're glad she's home. Thanks for the purrs and prayers!

Hope you have a good day!

Early Start on Sadieday and Some News...

I'm interrupting Mommy's Friday Features because I want to get a jump start on Sadieday.  Of course I think every day should be Sadieday!  Let's start this day off with a stroll.  Wanna come with me?  Well then, let's go!

Since it's Father's Day weekend, I brought my daddy along with me...

Of course I let him in on all the gossip I discover in the pee-mail along the way...

Some of my deer friends came out to greet us too...

I love strolling with my daddy...

Our stroll put a smile on my face and I hope our stroll put a smile on your face today too...

Okay, now I have some news to share with you.  When I had my surgery last month, my blood tests showed my kidney enzymes were high.  Well, I just had another test done to see if they got better but they are actually higher.  Usually scoring high on tests is a good thing but not in this case.  I haven't been feeling all that well or eating very much the past few days either so we're going to take some time off from the blog so I can rest and Mommy has time to be with me.  I am having an ultrasound thingy done on Monday so we'll let you know if there's any news but for now, I'd appreciate your prayers and crossed paws.  

Thanks for understanding about our unexpected blogcation.  

Enjoy your Sadieday and every day!

Sadie

Wordy Wednesday

Thanks to everybuddy for the purrs and crossed paws yesterday!  I really appreciate it and know it'll help me get through whatever it is I've got to get through in the next few days.  I'm going in at 6am this morning to get plenty of fluids in me before my 10am surgery today.  My kidney enzymes are elevated so the fluids will help me during surgery.  We don't know why my kidneys show problems but we're hoping it's only temporary and not something bad (which we don't even want to think about).  The main concern is the tumor near my tummy but Mommy says I'm going to be okay because there's no other option.  Anyway, it won't be long before I'm smiling on a stroll again like this...

Thanks again for all the concern!  I know I'll be okay and hopefully Mommy will be too.  She's having a very hard time with all this because she's such a worry wart.  

Love,

Sadie

Update 12:30pm:  The vet just called and Sadie came through surgery just fine (Mommy releases her breath!) and she's already awake and walking around a little bit.  The tumor is NOT cancer, the spot on her neck that caused all this had turned into a hot spot, whatever the heck that is, from her scratching but it's all gone now and her teeth are sparkly white.  Her liver was not enlarged (a sign of Cushings disease) so that was good.  Still no clue why her kidney enzymes are high so we'll just have to monitor it and hope it was a fluke.  Thanks to everybuddy for the purrs and concern.  We KNOW that's why everything is okay!  Mommy's going to sleep now since she hasn't in two days and will stay up tonight with Sadie to make sure she's okay.  Sadie will be home in 4 hours.

Tortie Tuesday

It's Tortie Tuesday and I'm imitating a purrito today..

I'm also asking for purrayers and crossed paws for my sisfur Sadie.  Mommy took her to the v-e-t yesterday for one thing, which the vet said was okay, but he found another thing which might not be okay.  She has a lipoma like a fatty tumor under her skin near her rib cage and tummy.  It used to move all around like it's supposed to but now it's firm and can't be felt all around so if her blood work comes back okay today, she has to have surgery tomorrow to make sure it's not something bad.  We're very worried about her because she's a senior girl so please send positive thoughts.  We appreciate it!

Enjoy your Tortie Tuesday,

Isabella

Update on Sadie:  She won't be having surgery tomorrow because the results showed something wrong with her kidneys.  Sadie isn't showing any signs of being sick so we're hoping it's an infection and can be cleared up soon because if it's kidney failure, well, we can't handle that right now.  Keep those purrs coming!

Update #2:  Sadie is scheduled again for surgery tomorrow morning at 10am.  The vet didn't find indication of infection so we don't know why her kidney enzymes are elevated but the tumor is so "worrysome" that he wants to take it out as soon as possible.  Another sleepless night for Mommy!
