Sept 5, 2010 - Labor Day weekend Findlay OHIO

[Cincy'sMom]

There is slight change in our plans....

It is still my hope to be there, but it may just be me, Sadie and Spot. Cincy has a lump under her front leg, and with her history of cancer, we want to get it removed. The doc did take some cells, and didn't see anything other then fatty tissue at this time, but we want to be sure. Although it means her missing the picnic, we are going to have this done the Thursday before hand. I am going to work from home Friday, and then we will have the long weekend to keep an eye on her. Chances are Ralph will stay home and be nursemaid for the little girl

Keep your fingers and paws crossed that Sir Jury goes well, and be the spotted pups will see you in Findlay.

[Cinder & Smoke]

We're terribly sorry to have to make the following Announcemet:


Phred and the Three Amigos ~ Cinder, Smokey, and Heidi ~
are going to have to sit out the Findlay Labor Day Gathurin.

It's been a long time arriving ... it's crept up almost un-noticed; but the
Keen Observer couldn't help noticing the onset ...

Olde Age and the ugly symptoms of multiple ailments have moved onto
The Ranch and *kicked* Ole Phred pretty hard!

First it was the Heart Attack with multiple stents and one for a Kidney.
Next the Kidneys got weak ... and now we're only a few "points" away
from needing Dialysis for outright Kidney Failure.

The ole Heart keeps trying ... but it's loosing the battle of too much fluid
and high pressure because of the Kidney problems.
Net result is ole Phred has NO Energy.
Breathing therapy has helped ... but I still do too much struggling to breathe!

And now we have a new hurdle to fight ... the old "Circulation problem"
that only bothered one foot has spread to both feet ... complete with
foot and leg swelling. Walking has become difficult.

We're gonna **MISS* all you Guys, Gals, and Pups this Sunday ...
A few PT Prayers will surely be appreciated ...
We're hoping to return for Memorial Day, 2011.

/s/ with ,
Cinder, Smokey, Heidi, and me / Phred

[Karen]

Of course we will say big prayers for you! Take care of yourself, you're the only you there is!

[K9karen]

OMG Phred! Is there anything I can do to help you out at the ranch? John and I would be there in a flash. You have my number! Call if I can help! A gazillion prayers for you, my toots.

[shais_mom]

I'm so sorry to hear this Phred - you are definately in pet talk prayers -
and mine -
we'll give you a call sometime that day - and probably before..
we love u!

[anna_66]

It's not going to be the same without you You and the crew are going to be missed.
Take care of yourself and we'll talk to you Sunday.

It will just be 2 of my 4 coming, Roxey and Bon will be staying home. Only the 2 non-grumpy dogs will be coming

______________________________________________
I see Diana & Carl and going to be bringing what Phred was. Would you like me to bring maybe the burgers and buns so you don't have to do everything?

[MonicanHonda]

So sorry to hear, Phred. I hope you feel better. You will definitely be missed at the party.

[Laura's Babies]

Phred, I am sure you will be so missed at the gathering. I am so sure it just will not be the same without you.

I am sorry to hear this is happening to you and wish you a speedy recovery. You will be in my prayers.

[cyber-sibes]

Phred, we're sending you prayers & healing vibes from RI, dear friend.
It won't be the same without you, but we know you'll be there in spirit just the same. We love reading everyone's posts about the picnic, make us feel like we're still part of the group...and we'll be thinking of you at the ranch. We'll actually be in Erie PA on Saturday (family commitment), so our vibes won't have so far to go-- love you!

Pat, JoJoe & the puppers

[Husky_mom]

even though I´m not going .. (too far and my current condition wouldn´t allow either).. I´m sure you´ll be missed

get well Phred.. sending healing vibes from our way.. hoping to meet someday not too far from now

hopefully I´ll make it someday.. just need to figure out dates
