Bailey

Bailey had a health crisis.. Well he is 16 years old so what do you expect?  Anyway on Wednesday I took him up to Story City (where my Vet practices) and she drew some blood and his levels indicated that he was dehydrated.  He had been walking around in circles for hours on end and was not going to the bathroom. He evidently was confused and could not find the water or food dish.

We decided that we would let him stay there and give him an IV to see if the lack of hydration was causing the problem or something else. Long story short. I didn't mention it on here because as a former Christian Scientist I don't like to discuss medical issues. And of course I was floating down that fabulous river in Egypt  - deNile.. But I worried.  He stayed there two nights and systems seem to have returned to normal.  He has some canned food and they said I will have to hold him and make sure he eats and drinks but I can do that.

Back to normal.. I'd say so.  He did walk around in circles for about 15 minutes but it was not a frantic walk around and bump into everything that he had been doing and eventually he did settle down and this is a picture I snapped of him napping..Oh and one more thing. He peed on me on the way home so I know that system is working.  To be fair he held it as long as he could but I thought he was just nervous and didn't think he would have to pee.  I was wrong. Now I must go put the clothing in the dryer.  Hold good thoughts for my little buddy please, and have a great week-end.  Hugs,  j

 DOG TIRED

An older, tired-looking dog wandered into my yard. I could tell from his collar and well-fed belly that he had a home and was well taken care of.

He calmly came over to me, I gave him a few pats on his head. He then followed me into my house, slowly walked down the hall, curled up in the corner and fell asleep.

An hour later, he went to the door, and I let him out.

The next day he was back, greeted me in my yard, walked inside and resumed his spot in the hall and again slept for about an hour. This continued off and on for several weeks.

Curious I pinned a note to his collar:

"I would like to find out who the owner of this wonderful sweet dog is and ask if you are aware that almost every afternoon your dog comes to my house for a nap."

The next day he arrived for his nap, with a different note pinned to his collar:

"He lives in a home with a non-stop chatting wife, 6 children, 2 under the age of 3 - he's trying to catch up on his sleep. Can I come with him tomorrow?"

 I didn't know if my granddaughter had learned her colors yet, so I decided to test her. I would point out something and ask what color it was. She would tell me and was always correct. It was fun for me, so I continued. At last, she headed for the door, saying, "Grandma, I think you should try to figure out some of these colors yourself!"

 When my grandson Billy and I entered our vacation cabin, we kept the lights off until we were inside to keep from attracting pesky insects. Still, a few fireflies followed us in.. Noticing them before I did, Billy whispered, "It's no use Grandpa. Now the mosquitoes are coming after us with flashlights."

 When my grandson asked me how old I was, I teasingly replied, "I'm not sure." "Look in your underwear, Grandpa," he advised "Mine says I'm 4 to 6."

 A second grader came home from school and said to her grandmother, "Grandma, guess what? We learned how to make babies t oday." The grandmother, more than a little surprised, tried to keep her cool. "That's interesting." she said. "How do you make babies?" "It's simple," replied the girl. "You just change 'y' to 'i' and add 'es'."

 . Children's Logic: "Give me a sentence about a public servant," said a teacher. The small boy wrote: "The fireman came down the ladder pregnant." The teacher took the lad aside to correct him. "Don't you know what pregnant means?" she asked.  "Sure," said the young boy confidently. 'It means carrying a child."

A grandfather was delivering his grandchildren to their home one day when a fire truck zoomed past. Sitting in the front seat of the fire truck was a Dalmatian dog. The children started discussing the dog's duties.
"They use him to keep crowds back," said one child.
"No," said another. "He's just for good luck."
A third child brought the argument to a close."They use the dogs," she said firmly, "to find the fire hydrants."

Thanks to John for the new ending.  Have a great week-end..
