Well, I say, keep Spaw in the hop to find out what is wrong so that Pat gets CURED and not just sent home. WTF? Youse got Canuck health care now? Sure... our's is free but they send ya home when they can't figure shit out. If ya calve out at home it ain't their problem. Good for the government's bottom line but kinda sucks fer our bottoms.

Stay in hop, Pat, until they fix ya up good like. We need ya.

Homecoming to dachshunds is cute... a few months away from a couple Great Danes could be deadly!

Yeah. That's why I've always much preferred relatively small dogs. Not tiny dogs. Just fairly small dogs. They had on online test to determine which kind of dog would suit one best. I took the test and guess what came up? Dachshund! ;-) I'm also fond of Jack Russels, providing they're not the hysterical kind.

I know what you mean about Great Danes. The last few months I've been 'pee-breaking' one and she is one monster. Sweet but huge. When she puts her front paws on my shoulders I have to brace myself. My little Chinese Crested dog won't even attempt to play with her, much as she begs him to.

Didn't Spaw have Vizslas, or some other specific breed? Someone find his breed on YouTube and post it. That'll be a great greeting! Big pup and big kitten, for example.

So pleased to read all the good & positive news about Spaw. I've been down in darkest Devon these past few days with some of my 60s Music buddies, completely out of touch with the big, wild world. Disappointing that his Docs. haven't fully identified the 'problem', but wonderful nonetheless that he could be home soon.
       The human body does stuff like this from time to time...propels us into a crisis; the Doctors are left scratching their heads; we recover & it never happens again. I sincerely hope that this is the case for Spaw.
       Very good news to come home to,
                                                            With Love,
                                                                           Nigel & Ann (Still in NC!)

Nothing else to say but once again thanks to all. I'm home and that's about all I know at this point. Too many issues to be sure what happened or will happen. No apparent bleeding but low platelets and after 4 pints things look better. Scopes are too risky at this point and I really don't show any signs of intestinal bleeds.

Did liver and spleen scans and other tests yet still no sure reason. Could be valve related or perhaps we'll do a bone marrow check. Other options out there but too early to say what. We'll see what pans out on the hemoglobin level and go from there.

While that isn't definitive it is at least something and we know some things that aren't the problem. Hold good thoughts and wwe'll see what happens. I'd write more but I'm still a bit tired out.....LOL.......Thanks again for all the wishes, prayers, and good thoughts.

Hey, our local team, the Idaho State University Bengals, are 1 and 5. Nebraska beat them 73 to 7, Portland State whumped 'em 77 to 10 -- not every school can have their football team lose by more than 65 points twice in a season.

Of course, last year the women's basketball team went to the NCCA finals...and the women's teams are doing extremely well this year.

So I ask: Why in the world does Idaho State University have any men's sports at all?
