Good News

Hi everybody,  it's me, Mitch.
My vet called on Saturday with the results of my bloodwork.  It's all good so we don't have that worry anymore.   The prednisone is finally beginning to give me some relief from this aching jaw.  The stressful news is that it makes me VERY thirsty and mom has put a limit on the water that she allows me to drink.  She says that drinking 87 gallons of water a day is totally out of the question.   Mom and dad say that my butt is losing muscle tone and and it's looking and feeling boney to them and my collar is looking too big on me because my neck is shrinking in size. 
The better news is that Molly and I got treated to spiced pumpkin cheesecake squares.

Molly and I have gotta say that we feel fortunate that we got to stay inside the house safe and sound while the Halloween pawty was going on.   Check out these nutty peeps!



Mom brought the camera along on our morning walkies again.  My butt doesn't look too skinny to me.  I'm the one on the left with the shorter tail. 


 This is the beautiful willow tree at the duck pond that we pass by every single day~
 The leaves continue to blow off the trees every day.   We sure do love autumn!
 Look at all of those apples!    I'm so happy that the squirrels leave some for me!
 I'm eating my apple, Molly!    Wait for me!

 Hi mom☺
 I sure do love my morning cookie~
Thank you so much for all of the good thoughts and POTP that you sent my way.    I'm feeling a whole lot better. 

Love ya lots♥
Mitch

    Oh dear me Mitch I hang my head in shame...some how (the fault of my unable bodied assistant) I missed that you were feeling less than purrfect. Bless your sweet Airedale heart. thank goodness you are feeling better and the pred is working. Due to a mystery intestinal issue in January I had to take prednisone too. They tried pills on me BUTT oh were the bitter and evidently a 10 lb cat cannot be held down by one 175 Dad. So the gave me a time released predisone shot. It worked miracles toooooo BUTT IT MADE ME THIRSTY AND HUNGRY. YOUR 'DALE TUSH LOOKS FINE TO ME
    Hugs madi your bfff

    So very glad your test results were all good and that you're feeling better, Mr. Mitch. You're a well-taken care of and much-loved pooch and it shows! Willow tree is gorgeous!

    Parental Unit well knows the boney butt and loosing muscle tone in the back legs thing from her old boy, Carson. He had his two knees replaced and so developed arthritis, then started to loose muscle tone from lack of vigorous use. We wish we knew what could be done to lesson the muscle loss, but that might involve a fountain of youth potion:-)

    PS. Those pumpkin treats should make you feel 100%

    We're so glad your jaw isn't too sore for those yummy treats! And we don't think there's ever too much water because you can leave lots of pee mail.

    Mitch, so glad you are feeling better! I am on prednisone, too, and i am thirsty all the time. I lie by my bowl, or stick my nose in it to alert Lady that it needs refilling. I wake her up all night to go pee. I have to sleep on a bedpad cause sometimes I don't wake up. Such is the price for having some vision back so I don't bump.
    Love the funny-looking peeps!

    I'm so glad that you're feeling better, Mitch! I think that you should agree that you look too skinny so you get even more treats!!!! Sorry about the pred. I was on it recently, and I felt slightly "insane" when the dose was the highest. I hope it doesn't affect you like that!
