Snoozer's Anonymous?

It's the last day of June and Princess Fergurson is pretty disgusted with her ole pal Buddy.

Not one single post all month.

Sure, one snooze leads to another...but when they start to run together...into a full MONTH

then there's a problem.

Snoozers Anonymous...

maybe that's the answer

humph!

No Comment

When asked about his most recent surgery, the 2nd in less than 2 weeks, Buddy Fergurson responded with a firm - "No comment, I'm resting".  

What happened you might ask?
 
In a nut shell -

- Buddy's mom takes him to the Vet because his neck seems to be hurting. 

- During the office visit the Vet points out that Buddy is due for his Senior Wellness Exam - which all dogs should have starting at the age of 7.

- The ultrasound from the wellness exam reveals that Buddy has bladder stones, the kind that cannot be dissolved by medication, so he is scheduled for surgery to remove the stones before they become lodged in his urinary tract.

- Buddy is recovering from his bladder stone stone surgery, but his mom still thinks that something is "just not quite right".  She can't put her finger on it, and neither can the Vet... until he
decides to look around on Buddy's tummy further up from the bladder with the ultrasound.  That's when he discovers 2 tumors on Buddy's spleen.  

-The Vet describes the situation as a 'ticking time bomb", so Buddy has surgery again, a few days later, this time to remove his spleen.

Buddy is resting and getting along just fine!  We'll have to see what the results are from the biopsy later this week.

Moral of the story...

One thing leads to another.... Thank goodness for Senior Wellness Exams because both of these conditions would probably have gone unnoticed until they were critical.
 

Get Well Buddy!

If it seems like Buddy Fergruson has been kind of quiet lately, he's been resting up from the surgery he had earlier this week.  A few weeks ago during his routine Senior Wellness Screening (which starts at age 7), the Vet found that Buddy had bladder stones.  He had them removed on Monday and seems to be doing fine - although he hasn't been very cooperative taking his antibiotic. (his mom will probably be switching to a liquid soon).  Feel better Buddy!

Ready to Rumble!

Ya - that's how we do it!

(Buddy is on the bottom, by the way-)

Spring Gardening With Buddy

 Gardening duties have taken up much of Buddy Fergurson's spare time recently.

As you know - it's quite a responsibility.

First Buddy has to get his directions for the day directly from the boss.

Checking on that rosemary plant.  OK, it looks fine.

Reporting back - 

oops...guess she fell asleep.

That Kevin

All he wants to do is play!

It's hard to find good help when you need it.

At least my mom is helping me pull weeds and my dad is mowing.

Otherwise I'd be sunk! 

Buddy Visits the Vet

Buddy Fergurson does not understand why his mom made him go visit the Vet 

this afternoon.

So what if he's limping, not wanting to walk, or play the "shoe game".

 Give a guy a break already.....

Ha!  Pinched neck will do it every time.  A shot, a prescription for an 

anti-inflammatory and Bud is set to go... good as new!

Buddy Regrets to Inform you...

It's with a heavy heart that Buddy Fergurson makes the decision to inform his readers 

that he will no longer be writing his blog.

Ha Ha

Just kidding!

April Fools!

You guys are still stuck with me!
