I need to try to figure out how to print my research homework. Guess I'll have to bite the bullet and contact Epson. Grrrrr. Better go now--will be back later tonight!

floralgirl said...

HP!

Lynne2 said...

oooo I have WAX

paula eagleholic said...

HP...heard that!

magpie said...

Yeah, me too, saw and heard

I get 6 - 10 seconds of live action followed by 16-20 seconds of still -
but I was up and running for the right 6-10 seconds !
♥ ♥

magpie said...

but the sound is "real time"

Lynne2 said...

eagle in nest at NBG...stomping, laying, getting back up....

magpie said...

Andy - tough time for you to have to leave
good luck with that printer...
I have an H-P printer LOL !
and it generally works okay ☺

Lynne2 said...

who will be first, us or them!

magpie said...

big black stringy looking blob at BWE -
wonder what it is !

Lynne2 said...

both at NBG

Mema Jo said...

Lynne - hope it is a tie!
Usually, I think, NBG is ahead of us.
I need to look that up!
Norma always call the NBG eaglets the little Rebels!

Lynne2 said...

looks like our night light is on

NBG back laying in nest now. THey just had a great shot on the chat of how they tell which one is which!

floralgirl said...

OOps, Hello -sorry, trying to make food and watch at the same time.

Mema Jo said...

Last year Jan 31 was first egg for NBG

Lynne2 said...

I think they were too. some of their watchers are thinking any minute now!

Lynne2 said...

those pictures showing the differences are really good....it would be really cool if we could get good close up shots of ours like that.

Lynne2 said...

they are really calling out...I can read beak!

Lynne2 said...

You can really tell the difference once you know what to look for!

I STILL can't tell Lib from Belle for sure :(

Lynne2 said...

ours poofed

hedgie said...

Sorry to hear about your friend, Andy. Prayers for sure. She must be very young to have a 3 y.o. :(
Good luck with your printing....my Epson will absolutely NOT recognize printing multiple copies---no matter what, it only does one at a time. Big pain to have to re-order a print when I have multiples to do.

glo said...

Hi all. Guess I will turn on live feed. Storm is snowing and blowing like crazy here and Dex is on potty strike :-( argh, I hope I can get some cooperation soon as each time we go out it is worse andI have to shovel us out the door and down the steps. He wants to go way out back and I just can't walk/shovel that far. Could be a power struggle. Think we are both losing right now. I am pretty sure I won't be up for any egg watch for tonight. I hope that is not in their plan but we do know the time is approaching. Be warm and safe.

Lynne2 said...

oh Andy, so sorry about Dannielle. Is she the one who's hubby was in the accident??

Glo, just be careful. I'm sure Dex feels he has every right to protest!

Mema Jo said...

I have an HP printer - front and back!
And yesterday a commercial was on for
HP - Holiday Planning! lol

magpie said...

Andy
I am sorry to read of the downturn in Danielle's situation...and will pray as you have asked...
hoping that the treatment will knock the Cancer out....and allow her to resume her life's activities quickly

and Glo,
am sorry to read of the stormy weather and Dex's potty strike...not such a wonderful way to finish out your birthday...but I hope there are some hidden miracles within the situation

Best wishes for a good evening, notwithstanding...
and to everyone else too...

gosh it got immediately colder after the sunset of the sun that was totally not visible

xo ttfn

hedgie said...

Norfolk is really hard to watch in the dark.....maybe it's the weather.....but the zoom is too rapid.....makes me feel fuzzy-headed!

magpie said...

my $59 printer from five years ago:

Office Max folks told me how to get the computer to do the cleaning of the printing heads, pretty cool, because the recycled cartridges were not performing too well, think all is fixed up now...
I have a really nice whiz-bang printer in storage...hoping to get that hooked up one of these days, I think it does everything, maybe even clean house !

Lynne2 said...

I put the pics and comments on the NBG eagles on my blog if anyone wants to see.

NCSuzan said...

Jo, I use IE8 on my laptop. On my desktop I used FF but since I've moved have not set that computer backup. As long it will refresh and come back on i will survive. Just heard geese flying over the nest. Yay for sound.

wvgal_dana said...

Speaking of SB's the just had it on the news about public is invited
for Feb 9th.

Heard geese

Lynne2 said...

I heard the geese too then...wasn't sure if outside here on at the nest!

hedgie said...

With all of the bad weather happening and yet to come, and the important news going on, wouldn't it be funny if no media showed up for Punxatawny Phil's forced appearance tomorrow??

Only 47 days til Spring!

Lolly said...

Hi all! Heard the geese, too! Really loud and clear!

Spent the afternoon burning pics to discs. Running into frustrations, beating my head against a wall, cursing, screaming and then finally ran out of cd's. Yea! No burning of discs tonight!

LOL Sports announcer on our fav tv station has not made it to the studio. The stations helicopter found him in slow traffic on the freeway and he was waving out of his car. So funny!

Lolly said...

Laurel is out of school again tomorrow.

wvgal_dana said...

Margy recyle printer cartridges are not the best to use. They stop up the holes in the printer. My friend was using them and had a problem with the printer. They tried cleaning and finally she had to buy a new printer and the tech told her to stop using recyle cartridges.

Andy So sorry for your lady friend will send prayers up right away and but her on the prayer chain. Sad it has returned and she has to go through this. May GOD change this for her and send that cancer to never return again.

Glo I have the same problems with little man for #2. I did have to shovel a long path and a circle. I continue to keep cleaned out. What a struggle it is. Sorry you too are going through this.

Judie said...

Hi everyone!

Never thought Jo would be so straight forward to tell us she has a HP printer. You go girl!

Sharon, really sending wishes for a diagnosis and and quick cure. Good decision about meds.

Andy, sending positive thoughts for your classmate and hope the treatments work for her.

Bearlets have been squealing for ages. Finally, the sweet hum of nursing and no squealing. Well, typed too soon. Very fussy.

Glo, prayer you and Dex make it through this storm without too much trouble. Chicago is getting lots of weather time on news here. Stay safe and warm.

Another milestone today. Decided to use the walker to get from the car to class. It was slow and a little painful but I MADE IT without the wheelchair. Had to take a pain pill when I got home but it was worth it. The infected incision seems to finally be healing.

Speaking of -- wonder how Diann is doing? Hope she's feeling better.

Okay, going back to bed to elevate my ankle.

First 48 tonight. Yippee! It's Jo's fault.

hedgie said...

All I hear is the hummmmmm.......

I am using IE on laptop---haven't downloaded FF on it. Maybe I should. My cam is intermittantly freezing, too, MArgy....a few seconds at a time, but the timer keeps counting.

wvgal_dana said...

Hedgie-Lynn are you using IE 7 or 8?

glo said...

Judie Yes its interesting to hear major networks take on the storm and Chicago. They are actually in the lowest snow amounts. But still going to get plenty of snow thinking maybe 10 inches or so there. We are expecting 15 to 20 with a chance for thunder snow and much more if that happens. Its worse south of me by 5 inches or so though. We are in the middle of the state and middle of the storm. Winds are 50mph gusts though so when its not snowing down which it is very hard, its snowing sideways also very hard. Dex is sitting here beside me. I think he is sending "makeit stop vibes my way.

wvgal_dana said...

Judie sorry about the pain but very glad the walker worked for you. More glad that the incision is healing!!!! (: ( : (: (:

Lynne2 said...

great new milestone Judie!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Lynne. That is very interesting!

Has Wanda checked in yet today at all??? Hope all is well with her and the Capt. and GG!

wvgal_dana said...

Was today SOUP KITCHEN for Wanda and Gene?

Lolly said...

Just talked with my birthday boy, Zach. He had both parents home with him today. They asked him what he wanted for dinner...chicken and sausage on the grill, so his daddy drove on ice to the grocery store and in 17 degrees going to grill outside. He is a good daddy.

We are expecting 10 degrees tonight. Yikes!

hedgie said...

Dana, IE8.

Judie, so glad you had a safe, successful outing. Hope that Darth was still right there with you!! Great news that the incision line infection is finally clearing.

Glo and Dana, hope your little guys cut loose and do what needs to be done!

TJ said...

Hello everyone! Haven't had much of a chance to scan through the blog lately. Was just wondering what the weather forcast is over the next couple of days at the nest site. Here in Missouri, HORRIBLE! We are under a BLIZZARD warning here! I cannot recall ever being under a blizzard warning. Jumped on a little while ago and was relieved to see no eggs yet, although they will surely come any day now. Hoping for NO repeat of last year.

Lolly said...

Yea, Judie....progress! Bless you!

Andy, prayers for your friend. That is so rough for anyone, but especially when they are young.

Lolly said...

Hi TJ! We are so thankful there are no eggs yet. We definitely do not want a repeat of last year!

So, how's the family?

hedgie said...

Glo, I'm confused......you said you are in the middle of the state.....I thought Rock Island was up in the NW corner on the border with Iowa.......?????????

Lynne2 said...

Hi TJ! How is the family! Nice to see you again! Stay safe in the blizzard....

Lynne2 said...

we are supposed to have freezing rain tonight and warmer tomorrow so it'll all melt.

glo said...

Hedgie We are in the middle of the storm predictions for the state. It isn't quite as bad north of us and worse south of us. Yes we are in the northwest part of the state.

wvgal_dana said...

I JUST GOT THE SHOCK OF MY LIFE. I JUST OPENED MY EMAIL AND FROM MY FRIEND BARBARA--LARRY IS THE ONE THAT WAS IN CCU AND I JUST TOLD YOU ALL YESTERDAY THEY TOOK HIM OFF LIFESUPPORT AND THINGS WERE DOING WELL.

THE EMAIL SAID "THANKS FOR ALL YOUR SUPPORT, PRAYERS, AND TELL EVERYONE THANK YOU. THEY JUST CALLED ME AND TOLD ME AT 1am THAT LARRY PASSED AWAY. I AM IN SHOCK!!

Lynne2 said...

aw Dana, I'm sorry...that's very sad

Lolly said...

Poor eagle at Sequoyah, OK is sitting in a nest of snow. Her eggs are due to hatch this week. I peeked in earlier today and the nest was swaying in the wind. At least it is not doing that now. Poor eagle! Breaks my heart.

NCSuzan said...

Oh Dana. I am so sorry.

Lolly said...

Sorry, Dana, about your friend. That is rough.

TJ said...

Hi Lolly. The kids are great! The twins started walking a few months ago, and now they are into EVERYTHING! Little Keagan is now 5 months and growing like a weed. My wife just got back from Cancun. I had a surprise trip planned for her, since she didn't get to last April due to the fact that we found out rather shockingly that she was pregnant with our last child. All her sisters and a few friends went for a girls vacation. They had a ball, and she really deserved it! I was getting a little worried about their flight home yesterday afternoon with all this weather moving in, but they made it just fine.

hedgie said...

No, Dana, not soup kitchen day.

glo said...

awww Dana I am so sorry you have received that news. Sad indeed.

Lolly said...

Wow, TJ! That is just fantastic that she got that trip! Man, bet it is hard to come back from Cancun to this weather. I am in TX and we are covered in ice and a wee bit of snow.

hedgie said...

Dana, so sorry about Larry. Prayers for Barbara and rest of the family.

TJ---I was just thinking about you yesterday......good to hear that all is well with you, wife and kids! Great trip you arranged for her!! I'm sure she loved it but probably missed you all terribly. Good that she got home when she did. Hope you are well prepared for the storm. Do you have a generator? Wood stove? Stay safe!!! And pop in more often!!

Lolly said...

Watching the eagle in OK. Do not know if she is rolling eggs or feeding an eaglet but she is up off the egg cup, but blocking the view.

Lolly said...

OMG There is an eaglet at OK!!!!

hedgie said...

Thanks, Glo, for clarification.....I thought I was right about location!

Lolly said...

I saw it! At least one egg has hatche at Sequoyah, OK. Wow, name that baby Stormy!!!

hedgie said...

Wow, Lolly......any idea when it hatched????

Lolly said...

It was due this week. No, have no idea when it hatched. Poor little one!

hedgie said...

I can't get the cam to open there....so what else isn't new??!!

Judie said...

Back before dinner.

MT nest. I am so stuuuuupid! Hobbled into the room and saw a white area in the middle of the nest. Eagle? No! Cursor? Yes!

Hi TJ. Nice to have you visit with us. Also nice your wife had a wonderful vacation and that the kids are doing well. Stay safe in this storm.

Glo, glad you came back. For some reason I thought you were near Chicago. No matter. You and Dex stay warm and safe.

Dana, so very sorry about Larry.

BBL

TJ said...

Yes Hedgie, we do have a generator, but hopefully won't have to use it. We did not get as much ice as they thought. They were forcasting up to an inch, but we got 1/4 inch tops. The power lines seem to be holding up good. Probably have 12" to 15" of snow right now, and it's still snowing. They are even calling for thunder snow!

Lolly said...

Read back on the OK blog.
The little eaglet hatched sometime this afternoon. Wow!

BEagle said...

Hi Eagle Fans!

I am looking at the SQ nest. Unbelievable. A little snow chick.
It's just unbelievable.

Mema Jo said...

Hi TJ - seems like a long time since we've heard from you! Great that you gave the Mrs a Girl's vacation. I feel that you and the children missed her!
I laughed when you said 'Thunder Snow'
Finally a name for it as some of our areas had thunder before the snow.
Take care and bolt the doors so the twins stay inside! TJ - do you have all boys?

Lynne2 said...

oh wow, prayers that mom and dad can feed and keep the eaglet comfy until this storm passes.

BEagle said...

Dana..I would be shocked too. Prayers going up for Barbara and family.

Mema Jo said...

I think it is a little snowbird!

Mema Jo said...

Good evening BEagle

Mema Jo said...

Dana - so sorry for the news about Larry. Prayers for Barbara & family

Lolly said...

LOL Reading on fb.
All the teachers are celebrating schools being closed again tomorrow.

magpie said...

No Judie..not stuuuuupid, if so, I am guilty as well, has happened with me before

this old gal needs the Okla link, when the excitement settles down.
pls and thanks

Hallelujah Oklahoma !
that's great news....

Lolly said...

Gettin dark here and at the
SQ nest. Bless that eagle, her eggs,and the little hatched eagle.

magpie said...

Dana
I am so very sorry about Larry's death, his illness is over, he is well now in God's Other World

Prayers for his family, and you as well

(( hugs ♥ ))

Lolly said...

OK nests

Here you go, Margy!

magpie said...

good news Judie about your walker adventure...hope all the improvement and progress continues, and becomes less painful, soon
xo

Costume Lady said...

I have lost everyone's avatar. Must be time to reboot.

So sorry that Larry didn't make it Dana. It was a shock wasn't it, after being told he was doing well?

There's our friend TJ. What a great trip for your wife...she certainly deserved it!

Lynn...what a great LETTER TO THE EDITOR! Ms. Morgan heard your wrath and she had it coming;)
YOU ROCK, LADY!

Lolly said...

It is getting almost too dark to see her on the nest.

Lolly said...

Time to go heat up dinner. Beans and cornbread again tonight.

BBL

NCSuzan said...

Lolly, I have been watching OK nest for the last 30 min. and missed it! if you blink this time of year you pay the consequences.

hedgie said...

TJ, Mom (NW of St. L) isn't real good at estimating snowfall amounts. At noon said she thought 3-4" on top of what was already there.....calling for 22". Praying that power holds for all of you.

Pssst....shhhh....24+ hours into a different brand of puppy food, and I have to say that Mai has been at least 50% better today. Hmmm??? Or maybe God had time to work on taking some of the devil out of her. Please keep fingers crossed that it lasts and continues to improve!!

Almost time for Jeopardy, and then Tues. line-up! Heading for sofa for awhile.

magpie said...

Thank you Lolly - something to look forward to tomorrow at first Oklahoma light

If I can eke out a little from tax refund, I think it is time to go for more computer memory here,
should speed things up on the Live Feed for me, I hope, and half a dozen other things at least

Anyone heard of the term
"Halfteimer's?"
That's when you are halfway to CRS

hedgie said...

Thanks, Wanda! Was just getting ready to send out a Blond Alert for you!! How is the Capt? remember you mentioned he wasn't feeling well last week....and shame on me, I forgot to ask about him. Sorry.

magpie said...

Okay, First Mate has arrived !
I can't get avatars at work, Wanda...really miss all that joy...

Oh, I better open up the newspaper...! Think there is greatness within....
thanks for the tip Wanda

BEagle said...

I am with you Lolly...on snowbird.

Isn't there a song about beans and cornbread?

TJ said...

Yes Mema Jo, all boys. Kyle will be turning 5 in a few weeks, Kaelan turned 3 a few months age, Kale and Kaden, the twins, are about 15 months, and Keagan is 5 months. They keep me on my toes. It's great fun though! My wife and I have said that if it were not so financially taxing, we would have more. However, that WILL NOT BE HAPPENING!

hedgie said...

BTW, locals....I got Ch. 25 back on the antenna converter!!! Yippee.....for local happening news!

Mema Jo said...

Nate returns tonight to NCIS-LA
I thought I recognized him in the clip for tonight's show on FB -

magpie said...

Suzan
how is your sister and all the family doing...any more updates?

Costume Lady said...

Lynn...new BP meds was playing havoc on the Capt. Dizzy, nuseated, sweating,etc. Much better now...thanks.

glo said...

hedgie Good news about Mai :-) I so hope it continues too.

Mema Jo said...

TJ - My gd has 5 but it's 2 boys - 1 girl- and then another 2 boys! Little Sophia has help on both ends!
You and your wife have an active house but it sure is worth it! Glad you cam back to see us!

magpie said...

TJ - really nice to have you here with us tonight....

really nice gift you gave your wife, and it is good to hear about all the "chaps" too

Woof, that weather you are having....
you and millions of other people from here to there and up and sideways...

Costume Lady said...

Margy, you seem to be enjoying your days off. Good for you!

Mema Jo said...

I keep opening our cam and I am going to be so disappointed tonight if I
see our Belle in the nest.....
Like 'hold it for one more day' Please

magpie said...

Wow I missed the Mai update,
how comforting, hope this continues Lynn
Ok go work your mind with Jeopardy
No Halfteimer's for you...

Wanda glad that Gene is leveling out with the new medications...what a relief for you both

Mema Jo said...

Hello Wanda and very good news about
Gene and his meds. We sure don't want a Dizzy Captain driving the Eagle Express.......... Soon so soon we
need a Road Trip.

TJ said...

We intended to only have 3 children, but with the third pregnancy we got a bonus with the twins. Then 5 1/2 weeks later, we concieved baby #5, which I SOOOO did not think was possible! Funny thing is, two days later I had a vasectomy! But I guess everything happens for a reason though, because I wouldn't change a thing!

Mema Jo said...

TJ I would think that #5 was meant
to be for one reason or another.
Enjoy those Precious boys!

Lynne2 said...

bet your home is a wonderful mix of love and chaos TJ!!

paula eagleholic said...

Andy, sorry to hear about your school pal. Praying the treatments cure her.

Happy Birthday, Zach!!

Welcome back TJ...how are those boys? Isee they are keeping you busy. So nice to do that for your wife.

Good new at OK about the chick, hope Parent can keep him warm and dry.

Dana, so so sorry to hear about your frined Larry.

TJ said...

It's awesome Lynne! I'm glad my wife is home though, because it was getting a wee bit stressfull taking care of them myself. I can only give out so much attention at once!

Lynne2 said...

That was a wonderful gift you gave her TJ! I'm sure she came back well relaxed and rested. And very glad to be back with her boys!

YAY Steve is on his way home so he'll be here before the ice hits! Going to go get some supper ready for him...

NCSuzan said...

Magpie, thank you for asking. My sister flew back to Maine yesterday with her youngest son. She has found that place where she can function but is in a fog. Preliminary autopsy report says he died before he ever crashed into the house. And his friends say that he had been complaining about his arms and chest hurting thinking maybe he was coming down with a bug. You never know.

Lynne2 said...

oh Suz, so sad...classic heart attack symptoms but who at that age would even suspect that was what was happening....so young.

Mema Jo said...

Suzan Did you get to see your sister -
you mentioned she flew back to Maine.
My prayers are with her and also your nephew's wife and child.

Mema Jo said...

2 more minutes until I get to sit
down and watch TV...

I'll be back during some commercials..

NatureNut said...

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, GLO AND ZACH!
Wow, I thought somebody laid an egg from all the Comments today!

Hope Sharon gets better fast & prayers for Andy's friend.

Someday SOON I will get pics on here from today!(I am pooped!) Saw an adult eagle flying several times by the office this AM, but only got a pic of him far away thru the mist. He sat in a tree by the road when I got there, but when I stopped the car, flew away!! Bad boy.! HOWEVER, this PM one eagle was sittting next to the nest & later another stood up!!!!!!!Are we ready to lay eggs???? Also saw brown thrasher and towhee again by feeders.

TJ said...

Have to sign off now. Good luck in the upcoming weeks. Hope Belle and Lib have better luck than last year. Hoping for good weather! Will try to check in more often. Good bye all!

magpie said...

So Long TJ - Thanks so much for giving us some smiles ☺
See you, next time !

magpie said...

Loretta
I kind of ate up the blog space here and there yakking about mostly non-wildlife stuff,
except the wildlife in here that needed some serious cleaning and I only got through one room !

Lolly said...

Nite TJ! Come back and check on the eagles soon! It was great to hear about your family. We need a picture!

magpie said...

Suzan
Thank you for the updated information...so very sad; it is a blessing that no one else got hurt...but the hurting continues now for a long time for the family...
I shall keep praying
that peace and comfort will settle in

Lynne2 said...

I just heard some noise at the nest...they must be up in the branches close by. STAY THERE!! NO EGG TONIGHT!!!

Lynne2 said...

Miggles, you take up all the blog space you want!

Lynne2 said...

precip getting closer, at least on the radar. Very ggoogy here.

wvgal_dana said...

Barbara and Larry were not married. They have many good memories and worked and planted a garden each year together.

She is letting his kids (full grown) to handle things. As long as they do as Larry wanted which they are. She thinks the kids feel like it is making them closer to their Dad since they haven't seen him but about once in ten years.

She and some friends and one of Larry's daughters is going to do a send off for Larry later.

I told her how I did the balloon for Ed and how it rose to the Lord. She liked that idea and is going to use the area Ed is buried and do a small service there. There arent any trees to block the balloons and she feels good because Ed knew Larry.

Lolly said...

ggoogy????? Sounds like one of my vocabulary words.

wvgal_dana said...

Going for tv

Everything will be ok

She has good memories like I have with Ed.

later

Prayers for people and animals that need them.

Judie said...

Suzan, again, very sad for your family. Prayers for their comfort.

Bye T.J. Come back soon.

Hi Lowreeda.

Food could make a big difference, Lynn. Never occurred to me. Hope it works.

Going to get under the covers and warm up.

BBL

paula eagleholic said...

I am finally sitting down to get a bite to eat. It's been a very unsettling 24 hours.

Well, Boo had a seizure this morning. After this morning, I realized he had one when we got home from the vets last night.

I called the vet this morning, and he ran his bloodwork and urine there in the office. All was good, except his blood sugar was very low...25. Normal is 70-100 from what I have read. Thus the seizure.

Boo also had a seizure before I got home tonight. I was trying to get here early, got home at 6:15. He didn't greet me at the door, and when I called for him, Nugz ran down into the basement. The laundry room was shut, but I couldn't see Boo in there. I came back upstairs and heard him bark. I went back downstairs, and he had crawled behind the dryer, moving it out in the process. He couldn't get back out. He had had a seizure down there. I assume he went down there when he knew it was going to happen. He loses control of his bodily functions when he has the seizures.

So, the question is why the seizures, and the answer is probably not too good. It's most likey his pancreas, although it could be his adrenal glands or thyroid.

I take him back in the morning for more bloodwork, which we are sending out, hopefully it will return some more information.

So, to help his blood sugar at the moment, I gave him less for dinner, and I'll give him a little more before bedtime, hoping to stablize his sugar levels. I can't feed him in the morning before the test.

So, I hope to have an answer in the next couple of days, good or bad, at least I will know what we are dealing with.

paula eagleholic said...

Oh before I forget, here's an update on the eagle in the windshield near Donka. They have pics of the eagle in the windshield, they are not gory or anything.

Donka's Eagle in NY

paula eagleholic said...

Lynn, hope the change in food helps Mai.

Yay for you Judie using the walker!

Lolly said...

Oh, Paula, so sorry! Poor Boo! Sure hope there is something that can be done to help him.

Good news, Lynn, concerning Mai. Certainly hope this works.

Annie has lost weight. Jack weighed her last night. She is now under 10 lbs. Has been up to 13 but recently weighed 12 and now this. Still acts okay but she is not eating a whole lot.

Oh, these pets!!!!!!

stronghunter said...

Checking in for a moment. I have to finish up my dual enrollment syllabus and send it in. I am so behind this semester. Some days it gets discouraging.

My brain is trying to shut down. I am tired.

I will try to BBL.

paula eagleholic said...

Lolly, can you refresh my memory on Annie's condition.

Lolly said...

A growth on the pancreas. Meds could have stabilized her but she strongly resisted any meds. Changed her personality, made her fearful of us, was also very expensive. We opted for quality of life and not longivity. She will be 16 in June. She has had a long life.

Lolly said...

This was last summer. She has just now started loosing weight. She has been acting normal, eating, pooping, etc. She is getting around fine and loves to be petted and purrs up a storm. Every night when we go to bed, she is up there purring and meowing in my face, then walks across me to Jack. She repeats the action with Jack and then is back to me. She is telling us good night I guess and asking for one more petting session.

glo said...

Paula sorry to read about the seizures for Boo. I had suggested to my son that he ask his vet to check his dog's blood sugar. Jack has had several seizure's this week. I have pretty bad memories of what I saw there with Jack. Breaks my heart. Anyway I hope you can get some info to help Boo. I know it is very hard on you too for sure.

hedgie said...

Oh, Paula, so sorry that you are having to go through this. Poor Boo. Low blood sugar certainly may be the cause. If you have any canned or tubed cake icing, you can rub that on his gums if you are present and start seeing the symptoms of a seizure coming on. Just don't try to feed him food once the symptoms start. He could choke on it. So sad. My heart goes out to you. It's very scary, I know.

Lynne2 said...

wow paula, that's a really low glucose level. No wonder he's been unwell. Do you have some Karo syrup in the house? You can put some on his tongue or gums if you think he is heading for a seizure again. Even soda would work. Smaller more frequent meals will help. Poor Boo....

Lolly, Annie is hyperthyroid I thought...

Lynne2 said...

that would explain the lethargy and wobbles for sure. Not a common thing, hypoglycemia in a larger, older dog....I see you've done some reading. Hang in there.

Regular Jelly would work on the gums, too.

hedgie said...

Very sad about your nephew, Suzan. If only people would take those kind of symptoms seriously, regardless of age.

Dana, good that Barbara is letting Larry's kids take the lead. I just hope they don't exclude her.

Lowreeda, so glad you got to see "your" eagles!!

TJ, check back soon!! We surely WILL have egg(s) before too long.

Lynne2 said...

Lynn, icing is a good idea too! Never thought of that!

Mema Jo said...

Loretta - very appropriate avatar...

Now into the 2nd show - First one was
good.

Paula - Info about Boo is breaking my heart and I know you're feeling sad.
Sure hope he can be healed.

I'll read more comments at next
commercial

hedgie said...

lynne, I, too, was thinking that 25 is so-o-o low....people would be totally unresponsive (comatose) at that.

Lynne2 said...

I have rarely seen a canine glucose level so low, and only in many of the small breed puppies from the pet store that my vet worked with (and I'll not get started on that idiot)

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, that's what the vet said about that glucose reading, too.

He suggested honey, about a tablespoon. I did give Boo some after I brought him up from the laundry room, he was still pretty wobbly. Perked him right up! Thanks for the other suggestions!

Lolly said...

You are correct, Lynne. Have pancreas on my mind, I guess.

paula eagleholic said...

I did get to talk to Michael tonight, will probably call John tomorrow night.

magpie said...

Paula
I am so sorry to read of Boo's seizures and how frightening it must have been for you. Will really be praying hard that the Veterinarian can find the cause, and have a good treatment for it.
Once again (( hugs for all three of you there...hold each other close... ♥ ))

magpie said...

Lolly
I love those stories about Annie's good night routines

magpie said...

Dana
sounds like there will be some nice ceremonies for Larry, including the one with the balloon at the cemetery, very poignant...
what a neat idea

magpie said...

okay Lynne...just what IS ggoogy ?
creating a new word for the Blogtionary ??

magpie said...

I'm wondering if you meant foggy?

paula eagleholic said...

Yes, Lynne, I looked up some information today. Printed it out and will take with me tomorrow.

this website seems pretty good.... www.petplace.com

Next item on the agenda is dog food...nutritional information, carbohydrate counts, fat content etc.

Glo, yes they are rather scary to watch. Hope your son takes the dog in to be checked.

paula eagleholic said...

Yea, kitties are the worst to give medication to. My dogs do pretty well.

magpie said...

we used to carry a tube of glucose gel on the ambulances, think they still do...
glad to hear that kind of idea is good for pets too

paula eagleholic said...

Dana, glad Larry's kids are carrying out his wished, I'm sure it makes it much easier on Barbara.

magpie said...

Jo
I did read your comment about the recycled print cartridges...thanks...
thought I could save a wee bit of money, but in the end might be more expen$ive

paula eagleholic said...

The low blood sugar also explains why Boo perked up so well on Sunday night after dinner. The problem is trying to moderate the food intake during the day when I am not home....so I am guessing he will prescribe some prednisone, which should help.

magpie said...

Glo
hope Jack will be okay too...

Best wishes on the last few hours of this birthday hope Dex is doing okay too...does he know it is your birthday? LOL
xoxo

paula eagleholic said...

Yup, Margy, they do still carry the glucose.

magpie said...

I did a training class regarding it once, Paula
and just snipped the tip and tried it out....figured I needed to know how palatable it would be for a patient..
not so very tasty, but, sure helps out in a crisis

but I never experimented with the activated charcoal slurry!

Lolly said...

Another good video on utube, 2 or 3 cubs???? What do you think?

Bear video

hedgie said...

The precip has started......

magpie said...

Going to check on out...
need to leave some time for lots and lots of prayers at bedtime..
hoping that Sharon is doing okay...would like to hear about how she is doing tonight...

Grateful for the friendship here...
that'll be one of my Thank You prayers


God Bless Us, Every One
xoxo ♥

magpie said...

PS Lynn:
Awesome Letter to the Editor...!!

Lolly said...

Ok, give us the link to the newspaper to read Lynn's letter.

And, concerning the cubs...I will go on record as saying I think there are three cubs.

Lolly said...

I've been wrong before, can be wrong again. LOL

hedgie said...

Lolly, I think it's still only 2 cubs plus Hope!

Margy, no....don't think I would try the activated charcoal, either. Yuck! And oh, what a messy thing it is to work with!! But gotta say....sometimes it was a pleasure to use it on SOME patients!!!!

magpie said...

working on it Lynne...
give me a few

magpie said...

uh, that would be...working on it LOLLY -
sorry, I'm in a Halfteimer's stage right now

Mema Jo said...

Getting a little precip here in the valley

Lolly said...

It is down to 17 now. So glad we moved the plants. It is 45 in the garage. The dryer vents to the garage and that helps. Send over your laundry......I could use it! LOL

Lynne2 said...

Oh my, I did mean FOGGY!!!

well, I have reviewed the video several time but I can only SWEAR to 2 cubs. But right around the 20 second mark, I saw where there could be 3. If only Hope would just move over for a few minutes! Lolly, if there is a specific moment when you thought you saw 3 then maybe you could pause the video, get a picture and put some arrows to where they are? I don't know how to add stuff like that to a picture....but I've seen it done on lots of the bear pics on FB.

Mema Jo said...

Margy - I didn't make any comment to you concerning recycled print cartridges ????????????

Lynne2 said...

OOOHHHHHHH!!!!! Well, it takes me a while but I finally "get" the Halfteimer's!! Duh!

magpie said...

Okay the links to our Journal article and Lynn's letter:

Journal Article Jan 12 2011


and here is Hedgie's Letter today
Letter to the Editor (author Lynn)

Lynne2 said...

HAHAHAAHAHA! and it just occurs to me that I must have it!!!

Didn't want to ask and seem daft earlier....

Lynne2 said...

wow Lynn....you GO GIRL!

paula eagleholic said...

Dana commented about the print cartridges.

magpie said...

woooops, oh oh I must have it too Jo...!!
(Halfteimer's which is Alzheimer's half of the time)

Sorry it was Dana, and thank you Dana...

my tax lady gave me the Halfteimer's line...hope she got my taxes right !

magpie said...

thanks Paula...you beat me to it ☺
You're sharp! Must be like a photographic memory you have !

okay, finally cleaned off the bed, NOW it is bedtime

xoxo

Lynne2 said...

I'm hearing sporadic thunks from the nest...must be sleeting there now.

Where the heck is Shirley??????

Lynne2 said...

Don't remember a post from her since this morning from school. Hope she is OK. And George, and Kathryn...

Heading for bed now. Good night and prayers for all!

Lolly said...

Great letter, Lynn. Straight and to the point!

Lolly said...

Lynne, been watching that video again. I can not capture a pic but it just seems to me in all the rolling around that I saw three. It is just a mass of babies! LOL I guess time will tell.

paula eagleholic said...

Shirley said....

Checking in for a moment. I have to finish up my dual enrollment syllabus and send it in. I am so behind this semester. Some days it gets discouraging.

My brain is trying to shut down. I am tired.

I will try to BBL.

Judie said...

Paula, I am sorry about Boo's health problems and hope the vet finds the cause and there will be a remedy. It is so very difficult with our special friends. Hugs for you and Boo.

Shirley, hope you get caught up after your brain gets untired.

Had to take another pill and went to sleep for an hour or so. Need to look at Lolly's bear video and read Lynn's letter. Oh no...

I just heard the sandperson creeping down the hall so must get ready to check the nest, turn my light off and leave the night light on for others coming in, headed back the hallway, to the tub (quietly so as not to disturb Mai), to the recliner, or stumbling around looking for printer cartridges. Pleasant dreams for all to stay safe and warm.

Mema Jo said...

Terrific Tuesday is Over.........
All 3 were good - I guess NCIS:LA will be continuing...

Good Night Judy, Shirley, Margy, Paula and all who are going to the pillows.

Mema Jo said...

We are going to be splitting again in
8 comments........ We are quite a
fast talking group!


Nest is MT........

Mema Jo said...

Good night to you Lynne.

Andy - could you put your material on a disc and take it to school and print it there or just hand in the disc.

hedgie said...

Thanks for comments on my letter!

Yep, Jo, all three shows good.

No word from Carolyn yet......will give her a few more minutes and then will call her.

Mema Jo said...

Hedgie I meant to tell you and since not too many are on now and will probably not read back....
The other day I stopped at Cracker Barrel - just me, myself and I. It was around lunch time but I really wanted a cup of black coffee - then I saw it!
The special was an Up-side-down Pineapple cake with caramel sauce drizzled over it. Ice Cream scoop was on the side. I ate the whole thing! So good! Now I feel better that I told you!

hedgie said...

Aw, Jo.....good for you! Glad it hit the spot!!! Don't think I've ever noticed it on their menu.
That's fine---since I had PB donuts and choco cake w/ PB icing......you deserved a goodie, too!!!!

Mema Jo said...

Lynn your letter to the editor
was very well written and should get your point across to whom it concerns.

hedgie said...

Of course, I don't have to watch my glucose......giggle, giggle! So I know you can only indulge once in a while!

NCSuzan said...

Paula, how scary for you and Boo. If our babies could only talk to us and tell us what hurts. I hope a solution is found quickly and that he will be his self soon.
