Best I go and cook dinner! T-bones and vegetables tonight.

June, din din sounds yummy. I just realized I am hungry. Red meat sounds good tonight!

BEAN, so glad that doc has found some meds that work for you. I knew you were not well, but had no idea it was that bad. Hugs to you friend and hope your better days continue. I for one enjoyed your long post.
07/Jan/10 8:20 PM
 |  |

Hi everyone.
07/Jan/10 8:23 PM
 |  |

Hi Viv lovely to see you.
Bean, hope the meds help to give you your life back. I know what arthritis pain is like and the fact that you cannot do things you used to do years ago, or if you do them it takes three times as long.
You did so well to put up with the pain and give Vici a wonderful holiday, all without moaning on here. We would have all understood.
07/Jan/10 10:06 PM

Suzy will you try to finish the knitting you started? I too have stopped knitting projects after disagreements with someone, they have to appreciate that a hand knitted garment.
Cyn hope the work to put your solar panels on the roof goes smoothly, my niece from Perth had some fitted a while back and they really do save money.
07/Jan/10 10:11 PM
 |  |

Bean - so pleased to hear you have your meds under control and therefore your life.
Viv - Hello - nice to see you posting - I might be in Port in a few months but just for a weekend. Our friends have moved from Sydney to Laurieton (sp) and we want to come down to see them. If I'm coming down, I'll let you know, maybe you'll have time for a coffee in Cafe 66? How is John?
07/Jan/10 10:55 PM
 |  |

June - you will feel sad getting rid of the ute if it was your Dad's, not counting the many years of good service it's given you. I think I've told the story of my Dad's car and how we had to get it from him before he hurt himself, Mum or others. We had it for several years before it caught fire More...
07/Jan/10 11:01 PM
 |  |

Thanks Brenda. I know you would have all understood. I don't really like to complain on here...or to anyone...not even Vici when she was here. I come here to escape my reality but sometime it spills over and the frustration and pain is all too much.

I have been a 'big' girl for a while and More...
07/Jan/10 11:12 PM
 |  |

My dear Bean.... You MUST be feeling better to be able to talk about the pain publicly. I know from experience that until you're over the worst, you generally suffer in silence, not wanting to burden friends with your problem. You know that your real friends don't consider it that way, but the More...

Insomnia, MizT?????
07/Jan/10 11:17 PM
 |  |

I got up this early because Rain asked me to let her out for a bit. She hasn't learned to use the dog door yet. She came back in covered in snow. I'm going back to bed now. Byeeeeeee.
07/Jan/10 11:22 PM
 |  |

Greetings sudoluland! It is warm and cozy in my house this morning and all faucets are running! Remember this and pray it stays same tonight through weekend.

Heidi, did you get much snow? Looks like only a narrow band of snow went through your area, should not have lasted long. Hopefully More...
07/Jan/10 11:23 PM
 |  |

Heidi, I was up for that visit to the small room. Checked in computer for weather report. while I was here, I did a check on my friends here in Sudokuland. How do you teach a dog to use the doggie door? In your case,do they just see other dogs using it and follow? Hope she learns soon so you get a More...
07/Jan/10 11:30 PM
 |  |

One way MizT is to crawl through the door and get the dog to follow!!
07/Jan/10 11:42 PM
 |  |

Or to go to the other side of the doggie-door, hold it open and entice the dog through it?
Heidi will enlighten us.
And it's goodnight from me!
07/Jan/10 11:48 PM
 |  |

OH Cyn, that is not nearly as much fun!
07/Jan/10 11:54 PM
 |  |

I stand next to the dog door, push it open and tell the dog to go through. Tho' most of them learn on their own by watching the other dogs.
07/Jan/10 11:55 PM
 |  |

I gave up trying to sleep. Lucky started seizuring again. This time he had Gran Mal cluster seizures. He has an appointment scheduled with the Vet in 7 hours to start his meds for the epilepsy.
07/Jan/10 11:58 PM
 |  |

It's impossible to miss one of his seizures. He's so big that he shakes the house! The last time, IH thought we were having an earthquake!
08/Jan/10 12:01 AM
 |  |

The snow is falling heavier than before. We'd only gotten about 1/2 inch earlier, but at the rate it's coming down, we should get several more. This doesn't bother me because there's no ice under the snow.
08/Jan/10 12:12 AM
 |  |

Lucky seems to be coming out of it now. I'm gonna try for a couple more hours sleep.
08/Jan/10 12:15 AM
 |  |

Before I leave, tho', I'm gonna tell a funny dog door story....
My dogs all learn from puppyhood how to use the dog door. They get really comfortable with it and rarely pause to go through, they usually take it on the run. The dog door is in the kitchen door, a straight shot down the hallway More...

 |  |

Good Maen SA9Aers! Heidi: Cute dog story! I could just picture that!! I've got a similar cat story. We have had Tigger (15) and Amber (12) since they were kittens. When we lived in the house in California, we had hardwood floors. Tigger is declawed, Amber isn't. They were chasing each other More...

It's cold here this morning, in the 20's, highs to get to low 30's.
Heidi: I hope Lucky is ok, I had seizures as a child and remember what they were like, must be horrifying for dogs!!! Can you control them with medication like with humans?? I used to have to take Phenobarbitol as a child. I wonder if there is something similar the vet can give you.

Going to sign off for now. Take care all!

I MISS GAIL, when is she returning from her trip?

I MISS ROLANDA, she still has another week or so on her holiday?

I miss seeing Tami online daytime, since she went back to work. I know there are others MIA but my brain is not in gear now.
08/Jan/10 2:35 AM

June that would be a fun way to teach a dog about doggie door hehehe. Especially when my hind quarters would not make it through and rescue was called to get me out!
08/Jan/10 2:36 AM
 |  |

Hi gang!
Tricia - did you get the e-mail from Rolanda I forwarded?
I was just popping in to say hello...also missing Gail.
If any of you don't have the e-mail I forwarded...please leave your e-mail addy in my inbox here on site. I'll be happy to forward her e-mail from her holiday - lovely picture, too!
Hope everyone is well. No time to stay and chat.
Sending love everyone's way!

Just one last thing...MzT - is your furnace situation resolved? I haven't caught up on my reading and am wondering if you are toasty now.
08/Jan/10 3:14 AM
 |  |

VICI, all toasty, thank you. My handy Hubby found and bought a new motor and installed it. Well, the electric motor company installed and balanced it in the housing, but Al put housing back in and did all the electrical connections. It is nice having a handy hubby hehehe. We also have our More...

Lucky is still having seizures after about 6+ hours. As soon as he acts like he's recovered from one, he has another. I had to cancel his Vet appointment because it would be too stressful on him to try to transport him 5 miles to the Vet. That was the Vet's decision.
08/Jan/10 5:29 AM
 |  |

Suzanne..... I had another dog years ago (Lyric) that had cluster seizures like this. We were able to control them completely with large daily doses of phenobarbatol. There is another epilepsy medication that's used for dogs, but I cannot remember the name.
08/Jan/10 5:34 AM

Off to feed the cows in the snowstorm.

Gooday there,lovely people.

So much to read which I thoroughly enjoyed doing.
You all sound well, which makes a nice change from the last few months where many hadn't been the best.

Very busy here that I hardly have time to scratch myself.Off to Rockhampton Mon and Tues for the More...

Morning everyone!
June, losing the ute must be a happy/sad kind of thing. A ceremony is in order I think. Raising my coffee cup for a toast - the ute!

Heidi, great news about Rain. Sorry about Lucky's seizures. Hopefully they will stop soon and you can take him to the vet.

Love the dog and cat stories. Animals are such a wonderful addition to our lives.
08/Jan/10 7:26 AM
 |  |

Nola, great to hear from you. I hope Judy manages to avoid feeling sick the whole way through - I know, silly, but I can hope!

Bean, glad the new meds are working and hope you get your life back soon.
08/Jan/10 7:28 AM
 |  |

I just talked to the Vet clinic again. Lucky's seizures aren't stopping. We are going to have to put him to sleep. There are no longer any other options.
08/Jan/10 7:31 AM
 |  |

No! Heidi I am so sorry. Sending hugs!!
08/Jan/10 7:46 AM
 |  |

OH Heidi, I am so sorry to hear this sad news. Six plus hours of seizures has to have been so hard to watch and so very hard on poor Lucky. Can you get him to the vet in your snow storm?

So far, we had 2 minutes of snow and 2 monutes of sleet and now we are having a cold rain. We were More...
08/Jan/10 8:14 AM
 |  |

It's been eight hours now. I can't get him to the Vet because he keeps seizuring. The Vet will be coming here soon.

He's having yet another seizure right now.
