[Dailydrool] Ms. Beasley's Adventures

[Ruth Beattie]

Mama here, we've had a week from hell here.  First, I had to call the vet
for Beas, she's been shaking her head and scratching at the good ear.  Also,
she's got the itchies on the inside of her back legs and around her
nebberminds.  Well, the vet said she got an ear infection, (OH great!) and
an allergic reaction to something outside.  She gave me pred and an
antibiotic but didn't want to give her an injection because of her age
(10).   Then last Wednesday, a major storm came through my area and knocked
the power out, and wouldn't ya know it but my cell's battery was dead along
with the landline.  I opened a window and yelled for my neighbor and she
came over so I could use her cell to call my sister.  My sister came as soon
as she could while I packed some stuff to stay at her house. I told her that
we ARE NOT leaving Beas, as the temps where in the high 80's with high
humidity.  She didn't want to let Beas ride in her car, so we left but I
called my nephew and he came for Beas and brought her to their house.  They
have a Brittany Spaniel and a Chiachuahua (?).   I was a little nervous but
my Beas came through like a trooper, she came in, snapped at both dogs and
they left her alone!  HA HA HA  Then they all went outside and played in a
nice big backyard.  We had to stay there until Friday morning when the power
was finally restored.  I lost just about everything in my freezer and
fridge.  I was planning to go grocery shopping just before the storm hit.  I
was really proud of my girl, she came in and took charge. Didn't mess in the
house or chew anything, she did have to sleep with me on the couch which
was a sight....LOL.  Since we've been home, Beas has stuck by me, I moved
one of her beds into my room and she's been sleeping in there at night.  Her
ear is better and the sores on her legs are better too.  I was worried that
the stress of leaving her home might affect her, but she seems well and
content.

I go see the kidney specialist again on Aug 18th, l hope my kidney functions
will be better, I am feeling better and am still losing weight.

We send drool and prayers to all who have made that journey to the bridge
whether hound or human.  And to all those ill or battling whatever life
throws at us, we understand.  Take care all my drool friends.

doG Bless,
Ruthie B and Ms. Beasley (Mama, I lub my own home!)
