Bad News/Good News

[Sudilar]

For anyone still interested in the on-going health problems of my beloved Killian.........

BAD NEWS: He had to have another tooth pulled today. I can't keep up with all the lost teeth. I think that was his 7th!

GOOD NEWS: His liver enzymes have gone down a bit!! They stopped rising!! WoooHooo!

[AdoreMyDogs]

Killi I am sorry about your poor mouth, buddy. I know you can't be a ferocious GSD with no teeth, but that's OK, you can still PRETEND you are ferocious :) :(

Honestly I am sorry about your teeth, Killi friend. I hope you are OK, sweet boy. I'll still love you no matter how many teeth you get removed, remember that.

I am, however, relieved at your enzyme level. That's good news and I hope you keep it up.

Go Killi, Go Killi, Go Killi

Sue,

We are ALL always interested to know how Killian is
doing. I want to think that this latest Good news kind
of outweighs the Bad.? Does he still eat O.K.? Hope
Killian's mouth isn't to sore from the extraction.
Bless his heart !!!:) You, Killian & Shiloh are always in
my prayers. Liz & Buddy.

We haven't forgotten about you Killian and are happy for your mom's update. That's really good news about your enzyme levels! Sorry about your toofy but there's nothing worse than a bad tooth to spoil a good meal. Hope you're feelin' a little better after all of that pokin' and proddin' in your mouff!

[TheAntiPam]

Wow, Killian, do I detect some tasty easy-to-chew food made special by your momma? I know that is not a good reason to have a tooth out! But at least something pecific can be done to help a sweetie like you - even if you have to be uncomfy for a while.

Keep being strong, both of you!

[Logan]

Oh, Sue, I can't help but think that you have given us wonderful news!! There are things he can continue to eat whether he has teeth or not. But the enzymes!! What a milestone for you both. :D :D

I'm happy. :D

[Sudilar]

The enzyme level was really bonus good news!! They are still higher than they should be (4-5x higher), but at least they stabilized. I was scared that they were going to continue to rise and that's when all the horrible parts of the disease come into play. My toothless wonder (as I'm beginning to call him) will be able to eat because I do home-cooking for him and the food is soft. He still has his big fangs (canines), so he looks fine. It seems that he averages the loss of one tooth a year.

Our vet said we're doing something right to bring down the levels. Cooking for Killian is paying off!

Of course we are interested in Killian's health. And I agree with the others, the good news certainly outweighs the bad. The main thing is that Killi's enzymes are stable. And that's wonderful news!

[anna_66]

Good to hear:) but sorry about the tooth, but there's still plenty of good food to be had! Take care-both of you:D

[mugsy]

I'm glad the good news was more important than the bad news...teeth are important, but the liver thing is more!! Way to go Killi!!!

[tatsxxx11]

I'm so upset I didn't see this till now Sue:( I'll never go to bed early again!!! Sue, you tell that magnificent GSD that I love nothing better than a soft, wet, gummy doggie kiss!!:D This is the best news I 've heard in a LONG TIME!!!!!!! Liver enzymes are down and stable!!! Yipppppppeee!!! Star, Cody and me are doing twirlies and spins and cartwheels in celebration!!!:) So sorry you had to have another toofie pulled Killi. Of course, you are not one smidge less STUNNING!! And I know that your bestest Mom is whisking up a trayful full of soft yummies as you recover Killi Man!! Oh, we're so happy for you Sue!!! Please give Killi a HUGE hug from Aunt Sandra, and of course Star and Cody send their bestest pal slurpy licks, Labbie butt wiggles and 2 HUGE paws up!!! For Star, make that 4 paws up!! She's just beside her self with happiness for her pal!

[Sudilar]

Fantastic pic!!!! Star, you are such a cutie!!! You made me laugh!!

Yeah, I can't believe that his enzymes went down to almost last year's level. That is so encouraging! If they just stay where they are, he should be able to hang on for quite a while, I should think! Can never get too overconfident with this disease, though, but for now, I feel good...........!!!!!

[tatsxxx11]

I AM SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO HAPPY!!!!!! You sleep well Killi Man. Need I say it...You're my HERO!!!!!!!!

[lizbud]

Sue,

Hi. I forgot yesterday, but I wanted to ask if you could
post some pictures of Killian & Shiloh ? It's been a while
since I saw those Gorgeous GSD furkids.:) I remember
that they are Beautiful, but I miss seeing their pics...
Thanks, and please give Killian a extra hug from me &
a 'paws up' from Buddy.:D

[Sudilar]

Hi, Liz....here are some pictures:

[DoggiesAreTheBest]

Sue, I just checked out your pictures and they are great! Shiloh and Killi are looking good! Sorry to hear about the tooth loss, but I think the enzyme levels being stable far outweighs loosing the tooth.

[Rachel]

Good to hear such an encouraging report on Killians lab tests. Yes, loosing another tooth isn't the best news, but at least it was a way to relieve any discomfort he might have been in, i.e. a problem that had a solution.

Killian, you keep enjoying all that good food mom makes for you and eat it up so Shiloh doesn't steal it. Okay? And remember, you have a whole bunch of fans and admirers out here who want the very best for the magnificent boy. (P.S. I think Star might have a little crush on you! )

:) GREAT NEWS !!!!!!!!! :)

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Hi Sue, I just came across this post and I must agree the good news outweighs the bad and I'm so happy to hear Killi is doing good. I looked at their website and they are the most gorgeous dogs, just beautiful. I'm so happy to hear about them, It seems there are so many posts on here that I can't keep up anymore, but I sure was glad to hear this news. Hugs and Kisses to Killi and shiloh from Daisy and Perry.

[K9karen]

Hi Sweet Sue, Shiloh and Killi,,, I've spent all week apologizing to everyone cause I'm SO behind but I'm glad the worse is over and that by now you completed your Walk-a-thon!! How was it?? Did you guys have fun??? Yeah, Cody says those 'lil dogs will get ya every time!! ;) :D (altho one of my most embarassing moments was 100 lb Cody jumping 10 feet in the air when approached by a wee Yorkie!! :o Cody slaps ya a high 5, Killi..he has 2 missing toothies on the side, but can eat, slurp, talk with the best of em!! And as a fellow employee, who just passed by said 'WOW! WHAT GOOD-LOOKIN GSD's!!!!!" And if I remember correctly, dinner at your house with all the yummies mom cooks for you is...around 6????? :D :D Hope you all get my telepathic hugs and kisses !!!! Stay well!!!

[aly]

Count me in on the appologizing for not being able to keep up with all the posts lately :o I am SO glad to hear this good news!! Killi is such a brave boy. And Sue, you're the best mommy in the world. Great job on taking care of your baby and making him better!!

[Sudilar]

Hi Karen and Aly, I've been away for a while, too, and I'm trying to catch up! Karen, the walkathon was great fun and we won prizes to boot! Killian was The Grandest and Shiloh, Longest Tongue. I was gone for a week to Walt Disney World (the happiest place on Earth, or shall I say the wettest place on Earth for the entire week that we were there!). When we returned home, I discovered the truth about Shiloh's longest tongue....she couldn't stop kissing me (and she really isn't a kisser!) Ha-ha! My kids took care of the furbabies quite well. In fact, I think they both gained weight (the dogs, not the kids LOL)! Killian won't let me out of his sight. I guess he thinks I might be leaving again. I put away the luggage, so he should calm down soon.

Sue, Killian and Shiloh

[lizbud]

Sue,

You went to Disney World and left the kids to babysit?
Now THERE'S a concept worth thinking about. LOL:D
Glad you had a chance to get away for awhile.:) Liz & Buddy.

[tatsxxx11]

Great news Sue! So glad you had a chance to get away, even if it was wet:D I'm sure that Killi and Shi missed you lots; but what a happy, slurpy reunion!:) Welcome home, with lots of hugs and kisses to our dear Killi and Shi from all of us here, especially Star!;)

[K9karen]

Sue..How in the world could Killi and Shi NOT win awards!? So THAT'S why my screen was all wet? I could feel those slurpees from here!! ;) :D Glad you got away and had a good time! Rain or Shine, DW is the BEST! You just walk between the drops! Glad you're back safe and sound..Missed you....Love, Karen & the Codmeister!!

[Sudilar]

Thanks!! I was having withdrawal symptoms being away from the BB for a week!! I am not addicted, I am NOT addicted, I am.........

Sue

[lovemymaltese]

Killian is in my prayers, best of luck to the both of you. May you find all the strength neccessary to take care of your precious pup.

[lovemymaltese]

P.s Keep us posted on Killian!!! I hope that he decides to keep the rest of his teeth. And congratualtions on the good news on his enzymes.

[jackiesdaisy1935]

Sue, that is very good news that you got to get away for a while to the Happiest Land on Earth lol, you needed the change, and I know that Shiloh and Killi were well taken care of and maybe a change was good for them too, they realize how much they missed you. lol
Congratulations to Shiloh and Killi for their awards, that's pretty neat.
Hugs and Kisses to both of them from me, Daisy and Perry.

[Sudilar]

Jackie, the hard part about leaving was knowing that Perry and Daisy were injured and I wouldn't know how they were doing till I came back! The first thing I did on the 'puter when I got back was check to see how they were doing. I'm so glad it was good news! Amen!

I was able to go on vacation because I knew my kids and their friends would take very good care of the pups (as long as I cooked and froze Killi's food)! The pups really missed me because I am always with them. I never leave. So when I did and then came back, I was showered with kisses and following around like never before!! Hubby goes on fishing trips, so they knew he'd be back. It made me feel real good. I missed them, too.

[lovemymaltese]

How is Killian doing today? I hope that today is a better day.

[Sudilar]

Thank you for asking, Lovemymaltese! Killian is doing very well today. He ate all his food, went for a walk and even growled at Shiloh when she ate all her food real quick and was looking at his! LOL

How is Tango doing today?? Feeling better, I hope!

Sue
