Good News for Christmas!

Hey Everybody - can you believe how lazy my Mom is? She can't even find time to post good news! And we have very good news...so I went to the V-E-T and had another belly picture and he said the lumpy is gone!! Can you believe it? Then they took my blood which I did not care for very much...here I am hiding behind my Mom's coat...

And then the V-E-T said "I am sorry you have to come back again tomorrow and get more blood taken cuz we think we mixed up yours with another retriever!" WHAT???? And so we did and the V-E-T called right away and said...we did not mix up your blood with another retriever...it was so much better than the last time we could not believe it was yours!!! Humpf.

So the good news is my liver is better and the lumpy is no where in sight...the bad news is I still cannot have people foods or most doggie treats...but Mom is working on finding me snacks that will make my liver happy...and she is taking suggestions...

All of us here are very thankful for our Christmas miracle and hope all of you have safe and lovely holidays! Thanks for checking in on us!

Belly Pictures

Hey there everyone...long time no blog...so this is what has been going on in my corner of the world...Belly Pictures and more Belly Pictures!


So a few weeks ago Mom decided that I was acting awfully sleepy at work...well who woudn't?
Work is exhausting...I have to greet volunteers and accept treats and love and go for walks...I mean you would be sleepy too...

But Mom thought it was time for a visit to the V-E-T...I do not like to visit the V-E-T...so I keep one eye on the door at all times...

I also try to keep large objects between me and whoever else is in the room...and keep smiling so they will not cut my toenails. Well I was lucky this time no toenail cutting! They just took some of my blood - but apparently they did not like my blood, cuz they made me come back for an "inside" Belly Picture!

Mom sometimes takes pictures of my belly - she thinks it is very pretty. This is my beautiful belly before the V-E-T took the "inside" Belly Picture...

And this is my belly after they took the "inside" Belly Picture!...I tried to tell them the pretty furs on the belly makes a nicer picture but they did not listen to me...

And then Mom would not stop taking pictures of my belly...here I am at work trying to get some napping done and there she is talking about my cute shaved belly and telling people to touch it...

I had to finally put a stop to these indignities by keeping my belly covered up! So the V-E-T said the picture of my belly showed a lump in my gallbladder whatever that is and he thought by taking medicines the lump would go away...since my medicines come with kitten food I thought that was okay...but then I found out that the only foodies I would be getting would be special food for a good livers and no people foodies! What?!!!

This is me hoping for just a bit of the popcorn Mom was eating...just a little bit couldn't hurt and we wouldn't have to tell the V-E-T right? Oh, yeah that's Gilead...he is the trouble maker of the family can you tell?

Mom please don't let Gilead have the popcoprn that was meant for me...please???

So tomorrow we have to go back the the V-E-T, it has been three weeks and they are going to take another "inside" Belly Picture and hopefully that lumpy will have gone away...then maybe I can have some popcorn??? Please? Wish me luck! Love, Sadie Mae

**From Sadie's Mom - second ultra sound tomorrow fingers crossed the mass in her gallbladder has dissolved or at least gotten smaller - if not we may have to have surgery...anyone been thru gallbladder surgery before? Postive thoughts and prayers would be much appreciated. Thanks! Susan
