Beau needs Prayers and POTP (power of the paws)

Thank you, Ann of Zoolatry, for the graphic

Friday night, Dec 20, 2024, starting at 4 pm, Beau paced for 13 hours without laying down. I walked every step he did because he eats his own poop if I don't stop him, he did the pacing and digging holes for 4 hours, I was on the phone with the ER to see if they would see him, when he threw up the most horrid mess, it was 20 inches around in the kitchen. After that he laid down for 5 minutes and back to pacing, digging holes, spraying diarrhea and throwing up. At 8 am he laid down and went to sleep and that was the last of it and all normal until Monday 4 am, he did the same thing until 8 and that was it. 

the other awful part was his legs gave out. Beau has been on gabapentin twice a day for 2 years for his dysplasia and other back leg problems. He lost the meds from the vomiting. He started dragging both legs behind him and could barely walk, also did the same with the next bout.

 I got him back on the pills yesterday morning and he is walking and ate boiled rice and ground round for breakfast. 

I took him for half of his normal walk today and the left leg was not as good as it was.

Please send Beau your Prayers.

During all this I went to the hospital to see my best friend who is dying, she has been on Beaus blog several times, she is his best friend too. She is not expected to live much longer and no longer knows her family.

Because of all the walking I have done, my hip has given out and with Bob's dementia, none of us are doing well and as the cherry on top, I think I am getting a cold. We spent 13 hours outside in 45-degree temps and 15 mph winds.

thank you for your prayers...

Jackie and Beau

 

My Kitchen, by Beau

 

This is my kitchen, and the dog photo wall,

Yes, I know you can't see me at all.

now can you see me?

My tail and leg, is all you can see

Is this better? You can see my butt,

which proves the kitchen belongs to a mutt.

I love the smells, I love the treats,

I love it most because this is where I eats.

The proof is on the wall, that his kitchen loves canines,

because there are 5 angel dogs on this wall that once lived in this kitchen

 having good times.

  

How We Roll, Um Sleep. and a big scare

 

Pioneer woman sits on the sofa and types and types and types and can you guess what I do while she does that?

is it fair for Mama to take photos when I am asleep?

I gave Mama a scare Wed night, she was up with me most of the night, at 7 pm, I stood up off the sofa and asked to go out. I peed and they thought I wanted to go to bed early. I did not go down the hall, but got on the sofa and for 3 hours I panted, smacked my lips, and poured 87 gallons of drool on 3 pillow cases, 2 towels, 2 wash rags, I would lay down and wet what ever I laid on. Mama was beside herself and sat beside me rubbing me and stroking me. She gave me my emergency pain pill, Meloxicam, which I have not had to take one in a year. I had no other symptoms and when I got up Wed morning I was fine, I slept all day, ha ha ha, what else is new. Normal all day and all night Thursday and we will never know what happened.

Mama can't sleep when I don't sleep

nothing bothers me. unless someone knocks on the door

Morning Walk with Da Mama

 

She said Stay, and I did! I had to STAY 3 times, She said Beau, you need to go on a diet, Mama is skinner that you. 

Saturday Nov 23, 2024 - 7:38 AM

I let her take photos because we walk at 6:15 each morning butt on Saturday she shops Wal-Mart for food for us, and rushes home, throws food in the freezer, and out we go more than an hour late for our morning walk. She comes home and puts up supplies while eating her breakfast and I always get a couple of small bites. She is only gone for an hour butt it seems much longer to me.

Daddy says I am a good boy while waiting for her to come home.

She never misses my walk, rain, shine, sleet or snow or even hurricanes, she walks me.

Maybe it's me that walks her. Just Sayin! All I have to say is today is Thankful Thursday and I am thankful for my Mama, and for walks, and for good smells and even bad smells.

What do you think Mama? was this a squirrel, a dog, a raccoon or a possum! Sniff Sniff

I am Back, we hope!

 

Mama and Daddy took time to sit and rest in the sunshine and since the fence is safe, I am allowed to wander in all the dirt that is all there is in the side yard. Only shade is the Powderpuff bush and you can see i am taking advantage of it. this day it was 86 in the shade. Yes, I did turn my head when she aimed the cell at me and you can see I continued to do that. I still hate the lens aimed at me

You can see I make my  own shade, butt its hard to lay down in it. ha ha

Mama has named this side of our yard, Chaos! Its the western side of our yard and Mama has become a Pioneer Woman, ou can seed the junk, the rake, the dirt and the stump. She has been working on it for 2 months now. She may have raised her voice at Daddy and said

I am sick of being a D$%#& Pioneer Woman. Yes, she did say that, then she went in the house.

Pioneer Woman is the reason I have been missing from my blog.

PS she gets really upset with me if I eat dirt, lay in dirt, roll in dirt, walk in dirt.

I just don't get it. I prefer the dirt to the grass....

I've been missing

 

Mama wants me to tell you she is overworked and tired and just can't handle two blogs at this time.

That is why I am missing! or rather my blog is missing. See? i am still here and this is me wandering this past week in the Good Side of our back yard. The one that is back to normal after Milton the Hurricane.

I still have grass and sunshine and shade on the East side of our yard.

We had to parts of the fence down but it is 2 months since it fell and Wed of this week da Pawrentz got it patched and now I can wander without Mama fretting I might go through and out of the yard

To Be continued

What's Left of my yard

 

I am still the guardian of our yard, and I have shade and green grazing grass in the side yard

and the side back has a few trees and shade. 

I still have room to roam and lots of pee places

there is still a lot of nature left in our yard, leaves on the ground for me to lay in. 

no roses here Rosy but hope you like our first blooms on the powder puff bush this year.

Hi Rosy, here is the entire bush, just for you. It has 8 blooms

Beloved Beau!

 

Those of you who follow this blog, know that Beau is my beloved soulmate/heart dog.

I get pure enjoyment watching him sleep while I read your blogs each day.

What better post could we have to share on Brian's Thankful Thursday. Mama and Daddy are thankful we found our Beau Boy and Beau is thankful he was found and rescued.

Bray park walk 11/10/2024

 

This is the only time Mama lets me walk to the end of the leash, at Bray Park. I have to decide which tree is worthy of my PEE and I have to look to the right and the left to spot Squirrels and mama just walks with me and lets me choose where I want to go. I follow the scents, She follows ME.. 

Can you believe the sign on the fence says NO PETS ALLOWED INSIDE FENCE

I AM NOT A PET. I AM MAMA AND DADDY'S SON!

After viewing the three above photos, can you guess where mama had to go? She told me she i not allowed to pee on trees or grass. Humans have little rooms to use. Since she was last there, they put in new walls and they are POLKA DOT! We have never seen polka dot walls in a rest room, have you?

In these two photos I noticed one of the huge old oaks is missing. Bray Park has thousand of trees and the big bad Milton blew down about 30 of them. you can tell by the size of the dirt it was HUGE

Tuesday Nov 12

 

Tuesday, 11/12/2024 at 6:18AM we walked out the front door and this is what we saw. The sun was just peaking over the edge of our world. Since that backyard is nothing but dirt now, we go and come for our daily sunrise walk out the front door.  Mama said to tell you  she added me to this photo because its to dark to get me that time of the day. but that is me walking with Mama at the park on Sunday.

Thursday Morning sunrise

Friday sunrise, the sun came up at the same time but rain clouds hovered. No Rain, lots of sunshine by 9 am and cool  air and low humidity

I am a good boy, now when Mama lifts her camera, and says Stay, I stop and weight patiently and let her snap away. BUTT not at Bray Park, its harder there because of all the SMELLS of critters. Butt she did take this one while standing under the streetlight

Is this animal cruelty? taking photos of a dog who wants to SNIFF and PEE?
