PT prayers still needed. Update post 137

[lizbud]

Prayers still coming Chris. It is a shame the two services couldn't
be in the same building. I'm sure this added stress is hard on both you
and Bobby. Hopefully, this time will pass quickly & Bobby will be so
much better.

[ChrisH]

Thanks Liz. {{hugs}}

Sorry about the pity party but as any of you who live alone know sometimes it's hard to deal with stuff all by yourself. Here are a couple of pictures of the hole, which, if you can bear to look at them, may explain why I got so upset after things seemed to be looking up.

We'll survive, I/we have done though worse.

Hi God ~

We gotz a lil bitta trubbel at Bob's Howze - over onna Island ...

The lumpz are gone, but da Zippur hazza lil "leak" and won't seal up.

Kan You ask da White Coat to consider bringin a Zippur Repair Kit over to
da Klinik near Bob's Howze - and doin a quickie-fix there?
I'd save da big, long Bus Trip to visit da Hobbsbittle - and You KNOW Bob
doesn't like da Bus ride one lil bit.

And while You're *fixin stuff* - maybe a lil Tune-Up on Momma Chris would help
wiff her breathin. She and Bobby would both like ta Feel Better.

THANKS, God!

I can certainly relate to your feelings, Chris. It's so hard to have to depend on other people. I have health problems too and I know what you mean. I love the picture of Bob in his new fancy crate.

I think you're doing a great job with the resources you have at hand. How many of us can say we walk our pets to the vet? I know I can't. I'm sending thoughts and prayers out to you and more for Bob right away.
{{{{{HUGS}}}}} I wish I was there to help you.

[krazyaboutkatz]

Lots of prayers and positive thoughts are being sent to you and Bob. Try to hang in there. Things will get better. Take care. (((HUGS)))

Oh My. I'm so sorry you have to struggle so much. My mom had COPD, so I can sympathize with your situation.

I know how difficult it is to rely on others. Been there. That's why I try never to turn anyone away, friends, relatives, who need a lift.

I hope Bobby's cone will stop him from licking his wound. Sure wish I could help you and Bobby. It'd OK if he pooped in my car.

It'd be OK if he pooped in my car.

Chris, and mine too.

I am so sorry you are disheartened. Bob sure does know how to work us up, doesn't he!!!?
Thinking of you ....

You know, here in Australia, they have Pet Cabs - so if you don't have a car, and need to get somewhere with your dog, you can book them. Anything like that there?

Oh Chris, I'm so sorry about this turn. To me, it looks like it needed a few more stitches to begin with.

For now, he will simply have to wear the cone, and I know that's no fun. Can you get him a tranquiizer to calm him down a bit so he sleeps more? 5 mg. of Valium works for Fister. I have a few times given him that at New Years eve.

I know how it is to have to dpend on others driving for you, I have the same problem. However, I have got hold of a pram my neighbors left, that I can put Fister's box in and walk him over to the vet. Perhaps you could do something similar? Borrow one from your neighbors?

Hope Bob will heal and get better soon!

Here's a picture of it:

Many thanks to you all my friends for your good thoughts, prayers and ideas. Very much appreciated. {{hugs}}

Yes, there are pet taxi services available in the UK but unfortunately none in my area.

Randi, yes, I too think perhaps it needed more stitches in the first place. As for wearing the cone etc he seems to have resigned himself to it and is being pretty good, in fact he was very good indeed whilst I was bathing it. Bless him.
A pram, trouble is that even if I found one to borrow I don't think I could manage pushing it up the hills, it's hard enough just walking. Good idea though, might work for a lighter load such as Ebby.

By the way, about the picture, I love that you took Fister to visit John. {{hugs}}

That goes for me, too (((HUGS)))

[Pembroke_Corgi]

I'm so sorry to hear about Bob and you, too. I hope that Bob gets better soon and things work out.

[wolf_Q]

I'm still keeping you and Bob in my thoughts. That has to be really hard not having easy transportation. That hole looks pretty painful too! I hope Bob will recover from all this soon and your life will be back to normal!

[ChrisH]

Thank you all, much appreciated.

Gosh Chris, I can imagine how disheartening it is to deal with all of this.

Many hugs to both you and Bob ((((HUGS))))

[ChrisH]

Thanks, Anna.
