This will be short, but I wanted to let you know we are still on the planet…not doing great, but ok. Shiloh and I are waiting for Joy…we are at an emergency vet clinic in Tucson. Joy has a severe case of diarrhea, and we are trying to figure out why and also fix it.
This is Shiloh calmly and patiently waiting for Joy who is having blood work done and subcutaneous fluids given and various other procedures.
I have wanted to post for awhile now, but it just hasn’t worked out. Instead, I’ve done things like drive all the way to town…forty miles….and when I got to the store, realized I’d forgotten my purse. Then Joy got sick, and we really can’t drive anywhere because she is literally leaking poop, except to the vet today, and I have NO internet connection at the ranch right now.
Joy at a happier moment, on a walk in a wash, a few days ago.
BTW, the vet just came in and told me her lab work is perfect….she would only hope that her four year old dog has such great blood work. And there is no sign of pancreatitis, which is something I was concerned about.
So what is wrong? I don’t know. Could be many things. Yes, I’m worried.
This was sunrise a couple of days ago.
My knee still hurts and I’m still limping, but not quite as bad as when this happened to it on January 1, and I have no idea what happened to it. I’m hoping for continued improvement. We are still going for walks…yes even Joy wants to go.
This is the first blog I’ve posted from a veterinary clinic, and the last I hope. I’m sorry about not getting to comments as much as I’d like to. NO internet can be frustrating.
Hopefully the next blog gets to you sooner.
Well sometimes…Life is Golden. This is a picture of a shirt I have.

Glad the blood work is good, pls let us know you’re all ok. Love to you, Joy and Shiloh.
Some internet working today here at the ranch. Enough to bring my email in but not enough to read it… go figure.
So far today and last night Joy is improving. A little going on. Not so much coming out. Hoping that continues.
I’m sending lots of cyber hugs to Joy. Hope she gets better real soon.
Thank you so much Eileen. Hugs are appreciated in any form.
I am praying for Joy’s swift and complete recovery.
Thank you DJ. All prayers are also appreciated.
I’ll keep Joy in my prayers. Don’t you just hate it when you’re fur babies feel badly. Please give us an update when you hear more from the doctor.
Hi Cat Lady, Joy thanks you for the prayers. Leakage ( yikes) has decreased and she was hungry this morning.
Thank you for the prayers on Joys behalf Dawn. Hoping this improvement continues.
I’m so sorry things are rough right now. Praying Joy gets better soon.
Best wishes coming your way for Joy AND your knee.
Virtual hugs,
Judie
Thank you Judie, for the wishes and the hugs!
Lots of healing thoughts and fur baby hugs for Joy. I hope both you and she are much better very soon.
Thanks so much Marcia. Guess time will tell what’s happening. Seems that healing takes longer as we get older…
Healing thoughts and prayers from me for Joy and you.
I hope you and joy feel better!

I hope your baby is feeling better
When they hurt we hurt. Thinking of all. What a team you all are…All for one and one for all!
Take good care!
So sorry to hear about Joy but sounds like a temperarry problem with the blood work being so good. Hugs and kisses!
I am at the RTR at that “wash” you mentioned…..meeting lots of people.having fun mixed in with a few problems, all of which have been resolved……flat tire (long story), fridge quit, ran out of data……..everything just takes money!!! That I don’t need to be spending. Anyway will probably stay here for the week. Let me know how Joy is doing!!!
Sharron, hope you stay for the Women’s RTR that follows. Sounds like it should be interesting. Wish I could have made it…maybe next year.
Hope everyone is on the mend soon! xo
They will most likely do x-rays and/or an ultrasound. Glad her blood work is AOK!! Prayers for all of you!!
I am so sorry to hear Joy and you have not been feeling your best!! You guys take care and hopefully the vet will figure out what’s going on! Saying a prayer for both of you!! Take care!!!
I’m late to read my e-mail…..so sorry to hear of Joy’s illness. Perfect bloodwork is always an encouraging thing though. I’ll be praying for you both…..
