Belle Update

Our dawg friend, Belle, is doing really well. She's resting and eating and going outside. She's still got the Happy Ears going and is wagging her tail lots, too. She has to be a conehead for another 12 days (and cones do not rock), but she's feeling pretty good otherwise. Thank you all for you thought and purrayers. Belle's family really appreciates them.

Froot Bat Friday and Belle Update

Belle Update:


Belle came home last night and they had a bit of a rough evening. Her pain medicine was wearing off and it wasn't time for her to have more. Her mom let her out of the crate around 9 and she had a snack and her medicine. Then she headed to her toybox and fell asleep. One of her dawg sisters, Cleo, stood guard by the toybox and kept watch over her.

Momma hasn't heard from them yet this morning, but we'll post updates when we get any more news. Thank you so much for all the kind thoughts and purrayers for our friend.

UPDATED (1:15 pm): Belle is doing pretty well today. She only woke up once during the night. She got up this morning and had a snack and went outside for a minute for some fresh air. Her mom says she has "Happy Ears" today, which is great news. Cleo (her dawg sister) is still watching out for her, so she's in very good paws. Thank you all again for the thoughts and purrayers. The Cat Blogosphere rocks!

Purrs (and Woofs) Needed Please *UPDATED*

One of our very good dawg friends, Belle, is having surgery today to remove her left eye. She's had a lot of trouble with it lately. The medications for maintenance aren't working any more and her eye is really hurty now. The V-E-T said that it would eventually rupture, so her mom and dad decided to have it removed before that happened. Any thoughts and purrayers are really appreciated.

UPDATED (4:30 pm): Belle's surgery went well. Here's part of her mom's e-mail to Momma:

I just called them (the V-E-T) a few minutes ago and they told me they were debating on whether to send her home tonight. They asked if I had a place to keep her confined (I have a small cage all ready for her.) I told them I did and she said that she will do better at home. She is just really out of it still. They have a patch on her eye with a pressure bandage.

Her mom and dad and human brothers are going to pick her up at 5:30 tonight. Please keep them in your thoughts and purrayers. They've had three dawgs cross the Bridge in the last 1-1/2 years and her mom is really askeered that something will happen to her, too. Thank you very much for all your thoughts and purrayers and kind words. Momma has passed them on to Belle's mom.
