[Dailydrool] Update from the three Bs

[Jennifer Martin via Dailydrool]

Well, Bugsey and Browyn went to the vet yesterday. First the good news:
Bugsey's ear infection is gone! Everyone do a happy dance! We have been
battling that stupid thing since the end of May.

Now for Browyn. I thank everyone for convincing me I wasn't being stupid
for worrying about the lumps. The lumps are just cysts. No big deal in and
of themselves, but they are partof a bigger picture.

My skinny, little bundle of energy has been gaining weight and slowing down
a little. Yes I will admit it. I like that she will actually lay on the
couch and sleep through an entire movie, but that really isn't her. She
will be 4 sometime next week, so it isn't like she is turning ancient. I
had her on a diet. I am going to explain this in terms of a 140 lb. woman
so you get the picture. It would be like this woman dropping her calories
from 2000 a day to 1500 a day, AND gaining 8 pounds in a week.

I am a bit of a dictator when it comes to what the bassets eat. Yes, I know
how many calories they eat a day. Hubby thinks I carry it too far from a
calorie standpoint, but he follows the food plan because of the food
allergies and their treats are expensive and he thinks I spend way too much
on their food. No children come to visit. So, I really do know what she is
eating.

I think we would all agree the above described woman would have a right to
be mad and wonder what on earth is going wrong with her. So, the vet pulled
a senior panel on her and saved some for any extra tests. He thinks she is
either having adrenal or thyroid gland problems. Both can cause greasy skin
and blocked pores leading to cysts.

Meanwhile I was told Beauford might want some tshirts to keep him warm this
winter with his big bald patches.

Oh! And we have learned that Bugsey and turnip greens don't get along. He
gets wicked gas that makes him very uncomfortable and the stench is not
good for the rest of the family. The cauliflower and broccoli were great.

Sending drool to all in need!
