UPDATE ON MY BRUDDER BUTCHY

Hey Pals,

Butchy has been doing pretty good lately.  He went 12 days with no seizures, then he may have had a teeny tiny seizure.  It was so small and short that Mama wasn't sure if it was a seizure or not.  Well now it has been 6 more days since that day.  So we thought things were going good.......................

BUT, yesterday, Butchy fell all of the way down our wood stairs, sliding on his belly with legs out to the sides.  Luckily he did not hit his head on anything and he doesn't seem to have any injuries.  Mama can't find anything on him that hurts him, even today.

Unfortunately, that EVIL SEIZURE MONSTER heard about his fall and decided to visit him this morning.  Poor Butchy had a seizure.  Mama was bummed.  First she almost had a heart attack when Butchy fell yesterday, then she was upset this morning.  She was so out of it that she took her blood pressure medication TWICE this morning.  She is only on a low dose because it is prescribed to prevent her migraine headaches.  Her normal blood pressure is very very low, so it goes even lower on the medication.  So taking double dose was not a good thing.  She got kind of woozy, hehehehe!

We sure hope the only reason he got the seizure was from stressing himself falling yesterday.  Mama told Butchy that from now on, he has to be on a leash with Mama helping him down the stairs.  We don't want him to fall anymore.

I thought I would show you some photos of me since my latest grooming session.  I'm still camera shy, but Mama is trying to cure me of this.  She said I must learn to love the camera!




Wirey Hugs, Purrz & Licks,
Katie, Butchy, Ruby, Sylvester, Scuby, Hootie & Zeek

You look fabulous in the photos, hard to believe you don't like the camera!

We are sending all of our love and the power of the paw to Butchy. He is very lucky he didn't hurt himself!

You look spectacular, as always!

Wyatt said...

Butchy, we are just worrying about you something fierce. You be careful on those stairs. Damn that seizure monster!
My mom used to give me treats to pose for the camera. The camera makes a little noise when it is turned on. Now whenever mom get's the camera out and it makes that noise, I can't pose and smile fast enough....heehee!

OH poor Butchy! I hope that bad fall down the stairs didn't hurt him too bad. How dare that Monster Seizure come back to terrorize him again!! Why won't it just go away? I hope Butchy is doing better now.

Katie ~ yoo look really beautiful! We are sending BIG healing purrs for Butchy. We are very sorry to hear he fell and then had a seizure. Smoochies.

Gus said...

Miss Katie: You look bootiful, and so graceful and elegant. We know you are busy helping Mama Lamb take care of Butchy, but you look most serene and calm.

Gussie says he remembers those stairs, and they are scarey to even just LOOK at, much less climb up and down. He sometimes has problems going upstairs himself, so may be relegated to a leash soon, cause he makes muzzer hyperventilate when he trips and hits his chinny.

We are most worried about you, and hope you can bark away that monster like you do the evil bird at the koi pond.

kisses
to you

I think that evil monster was just trying to take advantage of you when your were down. We'll purr and pray that the evil one leaves you alone sweet Butchy and I'm so glad you didn't get hurt!

Mango said...

Oh no! That is not what I wanted to hear. Poor Butchy and poor mom. That slide down the stairs, scary. Maybe time for baby gates and being carried up and down.

Your furcut looks amazing. You don't need to be camera shy. You are beautiful.

Slobbers,
Mango

Maggie and Mitch said...

Oh no! Poor Butchy. We're glad to hear that he didn't get hurt when he fell. We sure wish that seizure monster would leave him alone forever!
You look so pretty, Katie. You're a beautiful girl!

Love ya lots

Hi Katie

Thanks for the update on Butchy. Poor chap, I do hope he's recovering OK from his fall and seizure. Gail says that Hamish once fell downstairs while having a seizure and it was all very scary and unsetting.

But dear little Katie, I must say that you are looking most splendid. You may not like the camera but the camera certainly likes you!

And I think we would make such a fine couple! I mean, it is OK for the girl to look beautifully trimmed and the boy to look a bit rugged, is it not?

Oh, Gail is saying that I am again guilty of 'gender stereotyping'....

Whatever.

Toodle pip!
Bertie.

Oh Butchy sweetie you take good care of you.......we have our paws crossed and are saying special prayers for you and your clan tonight!
Love, Nancy, Becky and Angus

Hi Katie. We came over from Bertie's to see your prettiness - little did we know that he has a bit of a crush on you ;-) and your new haircut is quite lovely. We're sorry about Butchy's fall and seizure. One of our angel-brothers had the monster visit him. Mom says he was a happy fun guy and never thought less of himself. She misses him. We're sending Butchy some love today.
