<p dir="ltr">My 10 year old smaller girl had a spleen as large as a dinner plate that was torn on one end at the same time as torsion/bloat. Vet wasn't sure which came first. But removed the giant spleen, righted the stomach, no damage, tacked it down and closed. Now she is acting like a five year old. Won the Champion class at the last field trial. No lumps. Just a tear on the end. But it was HUGE.</p>

This particular vet is no where near me but it's really the only one I trust since my old vet left. I just worry that if I ever had an emergency he would be too far away for me to get to him. But I think it is better than not going at all. I really do think his hearing is failing and this weekend he crashed into the sliding door when he was going out even though it was open. So I think getting him to a vet sooner than later is better. <br/><br/>Yesterday my daughter was at her grandparents and I don't know if that had an effect on Speedy because he was super cuddly and more like his damning-I-want-to-be-cuddled self in months. Since he is older I worry my time with him is counted but when I see him trying to sniff out the gopher in our back yard I think maybe I'll be lucky and have him a few more years. Either way I need a vet to put me at ease (or not).<br/><br/>Sent from my iPhone<br/><br/><br/>------------------------------<br/><br/>Message: 2<br/>Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2016 20:59:24 -0400<br/>From: Beth Howering via Dailydrool <<a href='mailto:dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org'>dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org</a>><br/>To: dailydrool <<a href='mailto:dailydrool@dailydrool.org'>dailydrool@dailydrool.org</a>><br/>Subject: [Dailydrool] Fwd: Arfur's Fawts:Mama an' da scooper<br/>Message-ID:<br/> <CAO2rkqtHE1DHpazxrgbs5WiDwE0A6L08qp=753Y0_GtNKjtV=<a href='mailto:Q@mail.gmail.com'>Q@mail.gmail.com</a>><br/>Content-Type: text/plain; charset="utf-8"<br/><br/>---------- Forwarded message ----------<br/>From: Arfur <no-<a href='mailto:reply@blogger.com'>reply@blogger.com</a>><br/>Date: Mon, Oct 31, 2016 at 8:57 PM<br/>Subject: Arfur's Fawts:Mama an' da scooper<br/>To: <a href='mailto:momarroo@gmail.com'>momarroo@gmail.com</a><br/><br/><br/>Arfur has sent you a link to a blog:<br/><br/><br/><br/>Blog: Arfur's Fawts<br/>Post: Mama an' da scooper<br/>Link: <a href="http://arfurtleadbottom.blogspot.com/2016/10/mama-da-scooper.html" target=_blank>http://arfurtleadbottom.blogspot.com/2016/10/mama-da-scooper.html</a><br/><br/>--<br/>Powered by Blogger<br/><a href="https://www.blogger.com/" target=_blank>https://www.blogger.com/</a><br/><br/><br/><br/>-- <br/>*Beth*<br/><br/>*"I alone cannot change the world, but I can cast a stone across the waters<br/>to create many ripples.? - Mother Teresa*<br/><br/>*Word for every day: gratitude*<br/>-------------- next part --------------<br/>An HTML attachment was scrubbed...<br/>URL: <<a href="http://lists.dailydrool.org/pipermail/dailydrool-dailydrool.org/attachments/20161031/a1f87983/attachment.html" target=_blank>http://lists.dailydrool.org/pipermail/dailydrool-dailydrool.org/attachments/20161031/a1f87983/attachment.html</a>><br/><br/>------------------------------<br/><br/>Message: 3<br/>Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2016 14:59:17 -1000<br/>From: Val lbrewerzwick via Dailydrool<br/> <<a href='mailto:dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org'>dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org</a>><br/>To: <a href='mailto:dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org'>dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org</a><br/>Subject: [Dailydrool] Nan Fetters/ WMBRI quilt raffle winner/ a<br/> long-held secret<br/>Message-ID: <4BDD800D-BF12-411F-84B2-<a href='mailto:EFD25CCCD805@yahoo.com'>EFD25CCCD805@yahoo.com</a>><br/>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii<br/><br/>Hi Nan,<br/> the quilt you won really can go on the bed. It is 100% cotton (can't recall if the batting is also 100%cotton or 80/20 cotton/poly--I have both in my cupboard). It has been machine washed once (cold water wash, medium dry) with no ill effects. It is not a delicate creature. And if it suffers any mishaps, I'll gladly repair it. The technique used is something called "watercolor quilting", where many small squares of color are combined to create a larger whole which is supposed to resemble the brush strokes of an Impressionist painting. <br/><br/>Your quilt took a third place ribbon in our every two years island quilt show in Hawaii. winners are chosen by popular vote (one vote per attendee). About four hundred attended the quilt show. These days when I make a quilt for a local show, if I can, I include basset hounds so I can pass the quilt along for a basset fundraiser. If you would like the ribbon I won ( quilt shows are not lucrative here-- they usually give little fake satin ribbons, lol ), let me know and I would be happy to send it along.<br/><br/>GO, bassets!<br/><br/>And here is a long- held, never before revealed secret (true confession): it has been about ten years since I joined the Drool list. My first love was always art. I pursued a different career for twenty some years to support myself and family and for many years my art endeavors languished. It was only later in life ( about the time I joined the Drool) that I returned to art, first to painting and then to textiles and art quilting. In the early posts of the Drool regarding artwork, I often saw references to "our own" Pam Tanzey. Pam is a fabulous artist whose skills I will never approach. But I thought to myself, " If I am ever referred to on the Daily Drool, with respect to artwork, as " our own Val Brewer", I will consider myself a success. I! Of course, never confided this thought to anyone. Twice in this past year I have seen such an accolade (once by Wendie Prince for a Sr. Houndsabound fundraiser and more recently by Chris Bly regarding your quilt). This has m<br/> eant SO much to me--more than any commissions or ribbons ever have. SO, thank you droolers,<br/><br/>Val <a href='mailto:vlbzwick@yahoo.com'>vlbzwick@yahoo.com</a><br/><br/><br/>------------------------------<br/><br/>Message: 4<br/>Date: Mon, 31 Oct 2016 23:56:51 -0600<br/>From: Riche Churchill via Dailydrool <<a href='mailto:dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org'>dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org</a>><br/>To: <a href='mailto:dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org'>dailydrool@lists.dailydrool.org</a><br/>Subject: [Dailydrool] Christmas giving<br/>Message-ID: <<a href='mailto:58182EA3.1010209@blomand.net'>58182EA3.1010209@blomand.net</a>><br/>Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii; format=flowed<br/><br/>Riche Churchill wrote:<br/>In the November issue of the Bugler, will be listing all the rescue <br/>addresses (email AND postal) you can help me come up with.

It is legal in this state for people to shoot loose dogs that harass livestock. I checked the fence perimeter again and think I found another weak spot and repaired it. I really have to solve this problem soon. I am sure I can solve it.
