TOBY UPDATE

Woof everypups. Toby here. First I'd like to say thank you for all of the get well wishes and healing vibes that were sent from all of our doggie pals out there in the Doggiesphere. I really appreciate the gesture. I'm feeling a little better today but there is still swelling around my eye and jaw and it hurts really bad to eat doggie biscuits, which really bites! So I'm on a soft food only diet for awhile(squirrels and rabbits are soft, aren't they?). The Doggie Doc isn't really sure what the problem is, she's thinking that I might have been stung by a scorpion or bit by a spider so she's going to treat it with antibiotics for a week. If there is no change by then, it's back to the Doggie Hospital for more tests. Mom says I can go to Gucci's party but since I'm on medication I have to be the Designated Barker(I'll bring some Rimadyl for you, MJ)

This is me and my human girlfriend Deanne. Every time I have to go to the Doggie Doctor, Deanne is always waiting for me and treats me like I'm the last dog on earth. She's really pawsome.

Seeee i new those things in the desert were bad. Not just snakes. Were you doing some diggin'??? Maybe you made something mad with that fountain you had going on the other day.

No problem...when we all get there we will find out what it is.....stalk it.....and go Marine on it!!!!!

Love,
Willow

Glad you are gtting better. Momma stepped on a scorpion when she was a kid at her grandparents ranch. (in Argyle,TX-not the desert) It was in the bathtub upstairs!!had climbed the water pipes!! Anyhoo her Gramma put a tobacco poltice on it to draw the poison. It worked! I'm sure it's too late for that since you cannot find a bite location. For future ref. works on all kind of bites cept snakes.
Feel better Toby!!
Hugs

ps they used to sell those in drug stores. If not, you can take tobacco out of a cigarette, wrap it in a kleenex-double wrap-and wet it-but not so much it will fall apart.

Hugo said...

Hey,

Glad that you're better now. I'm so glad that we don't really have scorpions here, though we have centipedes instead! Equally scary!

We are sending healing vibes to your poor mouth!

The Devil Dog said...

SEE! We told you to stay away from things that bite! Some times it is good to be a chicken!

Maybe you should lay off the beer at the par-tay, as well.

Roxy

PS I'll bark for you. Or Lucky, if you want.

Suka said...

hey Desert Pups and especially Toby -

So good to hear you are healing Toby! What good news! Yeah!! How cool of your mom to let you go partying after your ordeal. Being Designated Barker is not so bad because you get to see all the other pups acting crazy! I hope you are Designated Pilot too!

Can't wait to see you and the other Desert Pups at Gucci's party!

Katie and Gizmo said...

Hi Toby, your human girlfriend is really pretty.
I hope the humans find out what happened to you. Do you remember if you saw a spider or scorpion bite you?
Such a pity humans can't understand our language.

Anyway my Mummy watches me like a hawk whenever I'm outside because I like to put everything in my mouth. Last night I tried to eat a white tip spider (they're poisonous) and last week I picked up a dead beetle. Eww

Hope you're feeling better real soon.

*Hugs&Licks*

Pedro said...

Toby,

You have some nasty, scary, dangerous animals in the desert! The worst thing I have to worry about is bees and yellow jackets. Well, of course, we do have owls and hawks but they don't really bother us, not like the dementors by Rambo! Glad to hear you're doing better. I was very, very worried about you!

Eric said...

Wiry wags, Eric x
