ANOTHER UPDATE ON BRUNO

Hey there everyfur!!
Here's another update on Bruno!

AFTER THE SURGERY
January 31st 2008 10:41 am
Well I was really out of it yesterday, went to bed late last night, mom blocked the doggie door with a board so I couldnt get out but real late, I had to go, I wasnt sure what to do now that my door was blocked, on my I really gotta go and mom was sleeping, what to do?Well I just finally pulled the board down then I think the hardest part was trying to get this big cone thing through the opening, well I figured if I tried hard enough I'd break it and get through and I did, I still had half of it on me when mom came and checked on me, but she is taking me to get another one, a stronger one she says so I dont mess with the surgery site, guess I better ask mom to open the door next time.



BOL, poor Bruno...all he wanted was to go wee wee!! But it's all good..

UPDATE ON BRUNO!

Hey there everyfur!
I want to thank everyone who prayed fur dear Bruno or even helped him out! That was so generous of you and Bruno sent me a pee mail saying that he was very very very happy to see everyone helping out with his surgery!! We're really sorry we haven't been posting or commenting in a while, but we'll get to replying your comments, we promise!! However, one of the comments we got, well, actually three, were from Jan's Funny Farm" telling us that Bruno had updated his diary on Dogster, so we went and checked it out and here is what his entries were:

TO ALL MY WONDERFUL FRIENDS
January 29th 2008 2:38 pm
My mom just got back in town, she drives cross country truck, so she is just now getting to all the wonderful mail and lots of it, First I have to say Thank you to everybody!! Dogster wrote to say this to us, and I hope I didnt affend anyone with the fundraising, I am just doing what any furmom would do to save their kids life, fundraising for a pet's medical expenses is not permitted in the public areas of Dogster (Forums, Pet Pages, etc.) without the prior permission
of HQ. We've had to remove the content on Bruin's Pet Page that alludes to fundraising. If you have permission from one of the Groups that Bruno belongs to, I would suggest you post in the Group.
I am not sure how to go about it and I am learning my way around here, I am working on all the letters that everyone has sent, OK NOW!!!! athe great news is that The vet called yesterday and she is going to except what we have so far and allow Bruno to come in Wednesday and if it is possible to remove the tumor she will if not we will see if there is anything that can be done and if its to late then he will join all his Dogster and catster friends in heaven so he dont suffer anymore, this vet I have been going to for years, Dr. Sandy, she is the best!! She has taken care of all my furkids for 11 years, She saved Bruno from dying from the heartworms and if any mirical can be preformed to save him again she can do it, and it was really nice of her to put saving his life first and taking payment as we collect it, we are not to far from our goal to collect enough yet to pay the whole bill yet but will get there. You all know I was just looking at all the pup pals and friends, hey we are all from all parts of the world, wow! We are global and we all come together as one, thats a blessing!

ITS A DOGS LIFE, BY ME BRUNO
I made it!!!!!!!!!!!!!
January 30th 2008 10:06 am [link to this entry]
I took Bruno in to see Dr Sandy Smith this morning and she was able to remove the tumor from Bruno sucessfully, I knew if anyone could help do that it was her. The tumor weighed in just over 2lbs and they will send it to test to see if it is cancerous or not. I will be picking him up at 4:00 this afternoon. Our prayers were answered, he is going to be alright, he has to take it easy while he recovers then he can play and run and jump and live a happy full life now. I'd like to thank you all for all the help and prayers you all sent for Bruno, we will continue raising the funds needed to pay Bruno's special doctor and her staff for saving his life a second time now, If you would like to help me say thank you to her you can send her your special notes , cards and letters, It was such a wonderful thing she did putting Bruno's life first and taking care of him while we raise the funds, not many vets would do that especially now a days, so if you would like to join me in thanking her and her staff you can write her at
Dr. Sandra Smith
1517 N. Leroy
Fenton, Michigan, 48430
and since he has to wear one of those cone shaped collers for awhile so he cant bother those stiches, I guess I will have to make a wider path for him and move any breakable nic nacs he can bump into, LOL, a small price to pay for having his life saved a second time. He is such a lucky fella, he is so loving and so happy since he came here and heck he is only 4 years old, just a baby and now he will have alot of great years ahead of him, he will never suffer or cry because he is in horrible pain any more . We are blessed to have such a wonderful Dr. taking care of him to. Chris



See? We knew the power of prayers and furry's helping out would help Bruno out!! We're so happy he got the surgery!!! And now, we're just praying so that the tumor doesn't turn out to be cancerous!! Thanks again everyone!!

ANOTHER SHOWER

Before we go on to our post, we would like to announce something (it's not a very happy announcement, yet we feel we should spread the word)

It's really sad...but we're just hoping it will reach people that are willing to help out... So here goes:

Poor Bruno has a really bad tumor on his hind leg, and his mommy just doesn't have the $ to help pay fur the surgery.... Please please please at least go read his diary and send him your prayers!!



Here's his link:

http://www.dogster.com/dogs/634832

And to help with the surgery:


Unfortunately, we couldn't help $wise, but we helped spread the word to lots of groups on Dogster and we are spreading it here. Before we told others about him, he had $150 raised, and it looks like lots of people have acted to help him out!! We love seeing doggies helping each other out!! If only humans were like that!

PLEASE HELP HIM!!


...................................

Okay, so just now, we took a shower. And yes, we know we took one just last week, but the story is that when Maya went to the vet, our humans asked the vet how to treat Maya's really flaky skin. And he said that she should just take showers every week fur 2-4 weeks and see if she improved. And she really did, today she had no flakes at all!! The showers have worked so far!!

"Oh man....not another shower!!"


"LET ME OUT OF HERE!"


"Oh no...begging is hopeless..."


"How on earth could Kena WANT a bath!?! Look at her, she's BEGGING to go in!!"


"It seems like I'm the only TRUE doggie in this house..."


"Ughh..whatever...I'll just wait fur my *shudder* turn..."


"Lets go see how Kena's doing shall we.... OMD! She looks like a rat!"


"And it seriously looks like she's enjoying this!! Where did I go wrong?!?"


"Ok ok...laugh as much as you want...but you all know how we REAL doggies feel about showertime..."


(Kena drying herself...she goes CrAzY!)


(Kena being blow dried)


(Maya being blow dried)


Have a great day!

DOG PARK

Hey there everydoggy,
Fur the past few days, we've been getting very lucky! We don't know what got into our humans, but they've been taking us to the dog park regularly now... And we love it!! It's only a few minutes away by car, and we LOVE riding in the car! Don't you love it when the wind races through your hair? We know we do!









We can't wait to go again!!!


................................................


(Maya) Hmmmm...I've never seen a moving blanket befur!!



"Ahh!! It moved again!!"



"Hmm...this is very very strange..."



"Wait a minute!! What are those hairs sticking out!?!"



"AAHHHH!! It's ALIVE!!!"



"Hey, you smell familiar!"



"Oh, it's just Kena....*sigh*


................................

Okay, just one more event!
Yesterday, I went to the......to the....to the vEt....(that word gives me the creeps!)..
And guess what! They took a blood sample and 4 shots!! *Ouch! But I was a brave little girl because i didn't cry at all and all the other doggies that had shots were yelping, poor doggies... :(

When I got home, Kena and I both took a shower, and just look at our soft, silky hair!!




But we're not going to stay tidy fur long! Hee hee hee!! >:)

DURANGO

Today,
We went over to Jan's Funny Farm and read the post about Durango. This was the first paragraph on their post:

"Durango is a puppy that was recently adopted from a shelter by the Brat Pack over at Five Happy Hounds. He is sick and has been diagnosed with Parvo. His adopter has run up a large vet bill trying to save his life. But it isn't looking good at the moment. They are about to try a risky (and probably very expensive) procedure to give him every chance to pull through and have some happiness in his life."

So we went over to Five Happy Hounds and read about Durango. Right now, Durango is not feeling so good, "His white blood cell count is at 350 (normal low range is 5000) which is half of the last labs, proteins and albumin are very low as well. The vomiting and diarrhea have increased too.". His owners have been trying their best to help him live a good life full of love because he's never experienced that.

"I don't want him to suffer, but I do want him to have every chance. I ok'd the transfusion for tonight and I have no idea if I've done the right thing or not. If he makes it through they'll run his bloodwork in the morning but if there's no improvement I can't continue to make him do this. This is a horrible, horrible situation and it's not fair that he's going through it. He doesn't even know what it means to have a good life and to have someone who cares about him, it's just flat out unfair."

We are praying SO hard fur you Durango, and fur your family!! No matter what happens, everything will be fine. Things happen fur a reason, so don't you worry!
