Turbo and a special friendship

Brrrr..it is still pretty cold here in New Hampshire the forecast is saying -30*below zero Saturday night.... but that's what you get for living in this area.....

Turbo had a vet visit yesterday, he as you know has Hypothyroidism and needed to have his levels checked. and he has had a lump on his back leg they biopsied. His Thyroid levels were where they expected them to be...( phewww) and the Lump that was going to be biopsied was diagnosed as a clogged sweat gland. that took alot of weight off my shoulder! so he now has a little stitch on his back leg where they cut it off...

During our visit The Dr. told me his eye is not good again and looks to be infected behind his eye in the socket, He has a tough time getting around and always bumping into something and getting confused. When We call him we notice he doesn't respond to our voices anymore we have noticed, his vet confirmed he no longer has much if any hearing at all.... when I call him he just sits and looks at the ceiling or wall.but as soon as I touch him his little curly tail wags like crazy! so now he is on 6 pills during the day and 2 at night and drops in his ears 3-4 times a day they are still so badly infected. The vet said he should have his ear canals removed but she said the surgery would be too much for him to handle. and he has his eye has to be treated 4-6 times a day...During our visit the vet talked to me that there is going to be a time we are going to have to think what is best for Turbo. She agrees now is not the time but we need to start preparing. we talked about how he still has a lil spunk in him when he wants to zoom around with the other pugs ans still goes crazy when I am patting him...he will lick and lick me until my skin falls off! his tail goes a mile a minute...he is telling me he is not ready to leave us....he has a lot of love still and still gets around...a few potty accidents during the day..but heck for a 12 year old pug? it is okay....he is worth the cleaning up. one thing we have noticed lately is that he snaps at Whitney. he does not want her touching him. I think he is sore and frail and just wants to be left alone and rest with Mommy...Whitney took it hard wondering why he snaps at her and not us....she now leaves him alone and wont bother him if he is resting...... when I hold him she will pat him and give him loves....

one of my best friends Cammy moved to Florida 3 years ago we worked at a hair salon for 5 years together...she flew up last week and stayed for 5 days...at her sisters house just up the road from us. we had a great time catching up while she was here and she will be return in May for her Step sons wedding....( her step son is getting married to Tori and Whitney's first babysitter! Makes me feel old!) Whitney took this picture of us just before she flew back home with the snow in the background to show her Husband who stayed back at home..... from what I hear it was 28* in Florida today..( is this true Ragus and Magnolia?) I guess Cammy brought you some of our chilly weather....!
