Lily the Beagle

23/08/2023

It’s been almost two years since we lost Lily to acute kidney failure. Not a day goes by that I’m not reminded of her in some way. Recently had to get a new sunblock panel for my car windshield. It makes me smile and think of her!

This is local for me and I’m sure others - but I looooved they put a beagle mix on the front page!!!

Health care workers have a unique support staff, in the form of four-legged therapy dogs from , who provide therapeutic visits to health care staff.

Lily crossed the rainbow bridge this afternoon, tail held high, nose down low, following all the new scents. Acute kidney failure. RIP, Lily. You are loved.

I haven’t been acting myself this past week - finally got to the point mom called the vet and is trying to get me in. She’s not sure if it’s all the stress we’ve had lately trying to sell/buy houses or if there’s something else going on.

My mom can’t seem to figure out how to post pics of me any more! Facebook, why you have to change so much??

11/07/2021

I’m not spoiled at all! Momma tells me this isn’t how all puppies are treated - just the special ones.

My siblings and I have been dubbed moms coworkers since they are working from home. My sister is coworker #3 otherwise know as Kiwi. She’s a master sleeper!

Sooo moms found out they got the virus known as Covid. They didn't look too happy about it but they are grateful it's not bad. I'm just going to continue holding down my extra large bed in the living room until they get better!

26/12/2020

Moms are spending the holidays under the weather. I am supervising to make sure they stay in bed and possibly eat the dirty Kleenexes if I can

18/10/2020

It’s Pancake day!!!!

01/10/2020

Sooo my moms are on vacation and my kitty siblings decided to help me pull shenanigans and get treats out of the cabinet. Mom said to tell us they will be child locking the cabinets when they get home.

03/06/2020

I’m at the vet today, getting some lumps removed and a liver ultrasound for a checkup. My “Cadog” sibling is filling in for me as mom’s coworker #2.

With all of the stuff going on with Something called COVID-19, I’ve been keeping my mom company while she works from home. She calls me coworker #2. It’s been awesome napping under the table with my other coworkers. Stay safe everyone!

Sorry we haven’t posted in a while. Mom says I’ve been being ‘good’ - whatever that is. She even brought me chikin mcgnugs home!

16/11/2019

She just had breakfast and treats!

02/11/2019

Mom left me alone tonight to work in her workshop, so I showed her how unhappy I was.

30/10/2019

I’m not talking to you mom! You wouldn’t let me follow the plumber outside or downstairs and get into trouble!!!

15/10/2019

So my three Kitty bro and sisters decided to remove the hardboiled eggs that mom had sat on the counter (to dispose of- they were past expired) and play with them in the floor in the middle of the night. I have been playing beagle detective to help find them all!

07/10/2019

Mom wouldn’t let me push my little sis out of her spot so I’m pouting on the back of my chair.

06/10/2019

Moms went on vacation without me and came home last night. I finally decided I’d let them pet me.

23/04/2019

Because mom has pizza!!!

18/04/2019

Momma let me lick the bowl!

07/04/2019

I think my moms should have this!

23/03/2019

The weather is so nice out....but I don’t wanna!

02/03/2019

Mom was making several trips downstairs and told me I couldn’t go.

04/01/2019

Lily is going to turn into a jar of peanut butter!!

Yet another update from Mom - We ended up having to take Lily to Ohio State Veterinary Hospital on Saturday morning because the pain was excruciating. We think she did more damage getting into the car to go for her vet check-up that just couldn't be touched by pills. Fast forward to today, she was seen by a Neurologist this morning and an MRI and spinal tap were done. Spinal tap was normal and the MRI revealed a herniated disc in her neck. Vet says it does NOT currently need surgery, so we are bringing her home this evening and she will be on crate rest for a few weeks. She'll have a checkup in a few days to see how things are going as well.

Thought I would publish an update for Lils since we are getting her meds refilled. The meds are working and we are trying to spread out the tramadol by breaking it into two doses a day instead of one. It really seems to make her hot especially when coupled with the prednisone. Her best time of day seems to be 11-6 but she is still having moments where she’s whining and laying under the table with her head on the low rung to give herself some relief. I just gave the vets office an update and confirmed she has a follow up on Saturday morning. Thanks for the prayers - it’s slow going but we’ll get there!

I had an accident (or two) near my bed. Mom is washing what she can and I’m trying to find a comfy spot for myself

22/12/2018

Moms got me on the muscle relaxer last night and thought I’d hurt my other side when going to bed because I wouldn’t lay down without crying. Gave me a bit extra pain meds and I was able to sleep. I don’t look ready to move yet tho.

20/12/2018

Turns out when I went to steak treats on Tuesday night I slipped a disc in my neck. The vet set me up with a steroid, muscle relaxer, and a pain med. mom bribed me with French fries to get two of the three in me. The other we have to get from the pharmacy.

19/12/2018

I’m never out cold when momma gets ready for work. Those treats I got into did a number as I’ve had horrible gas all night!

19/12/2018

So I walk in the door a bit ago and immediately my SO says - Lily got into the soft bone container and got 10-20 bones. She looks miserable.

27/10/2018

I am sitting in Moms lap because I ate a whole loaf of bakeable garlic bread from Der Dutchman.

26/10/2018

Kiwi and Lily sharing crackers....kind of!

30/09/2018

A rare moment of Lily snugs in the wild. I didn’t even hold her long enough for her to start squirming!

21/09/2018

Moms were eating lunch. Yum!!

04/09/2018

It’s been a hot summer! My cyst came back so mom had me at the vet today discussing the options. The vet says removal of some of my ear is a possibility! Mom says it won’t make me any less cute but she’s worried nonetheless.
