Shiloh sez - this iz kinda eazy fer me. Mom sed that I wuz her 1st Beagle an'b-4 I came tu live here she wuz readin' alot an'seein' alot 'bout a special little Beagle named Shiloh. She d-sided then that whatever Beagle she got, she wuz gonna name it Shiloh. So in a way, it wuzn't just my name. But then she did make it just fer me cuz she also added my daddy's name - Ringo but she also added more - Little Boy. So that meanz my long name iz Ringo's Little Boy Shiloh. "Cept now I ain't that little fer a Beagle but mom sez I iz big like my daddy an'uncle who r also Beaglez.
Shasta - Mom sez she had a name all picked out, just fer me - Keelie. But 1 day, after mom an'aunt sis came tu vizit (b-4 I wuz old enuf to go live with mom an'Shiloh)
she sez her an'aunt sis were talkin 'bout namez an'aunt sis sed the name Shasta - she sed she liked that better, aunt sis did. Mom sed that wuz a purty name - like the daizy but aunt sis sed like the soda (whatever soda iz). So that iz how I wuz named but then mom sed she wanted tu make it spechial so she made it longer by adding my doggy momz name, Tess, then aunt sis sed
I needed anuther name with it so she sed the name Sparkling, like the soda (I shure wish I nu what that wuz sinse alot of my name iz like it). Anyway, my long name iz Tees's Sparkling Shasta but mom siz that iz tu long tu say all the time so she just callz me Shasta - just like mom callz Ringo's Little Boy Shiloh, just Shiloh. Of course there r other namez we git called but sum of theze can't b sed here. Anyway, that iz how me'n Shiloh wuz named - we hopez u liked r story.
This here iz Shiloh -
Me'an Shasta
just did r name storiez.
Watch fer them tumorrow.
Me'n the B-bratz are at home now(we were at my sister's) - actually we have been here since Monday but I have been going slow on the computer so my eye is gradually re-introduced to using the computer - don't want to overuse my eye and possibly develop another problem. At times it seems like my vision is slowly improving but I can't believe how much improvement has occured in just a little over 2 weeks. I am still not working altho I feel like I am close to being able to see good enuf to do my job. I will see the specialist next Tuesday, 7/6, for a re-evaluation - I hope at that appointment I will know better about when I can return to work.
I am also a member of a few different doggy and Beagle online groups too so I am slowly trying to get caught up on them all. My sis has 2 female Westies - the youngest is Bailie who is 4 y.o, just a year older than Shasta. These 2 renewed their playtime friendships and were often seen zooming through my sister's house and if Shasta stopped then Bailie mite start yapping at her while tapping her butt(Shasta's)
with her paw(Bailie) as if pressing a button or should I say butt-on(ok, BAD pun). My sis got several still shots and I think a video also - I will try to post them when my vision allows. Even Shiloh and Shasta were doing their usual playtime routine while Bailie tried to follow them, yapping several times to "encourage" them.
Ok, I need to stop for now. The Beaglebratz are glad to be at home and are doing well. I can't wait until I can start walking them again and especially get back to visiting. Hopefully the Beaglebratz will start posting now - they have been terribly lazy since we got home altho when they are in the backyard I find it amazing how quickly they can perk up and move when they catch a scent of something good.
Surgery is over and improvement has started however it is going slow. In addition to the cornea transplant the doc also added a layer of stem cells. These stem cells are used to strengthen and hopefully will make the cornea healthier. These stem cells will soon be absorbed into the cornea however due to the paralysis on that side of my face - making the blink reflex not as effective - rven tho the cornea will be protected a little bit longer it also means the blurriness will last a little longer. Oh well, I have already had to go through several months of waiting - what's a few more weeks, especially since it will help the cornea in the long run. I have been staying at my sister's since surgery but starting yesterday I am home during the day and spend the nite over there - and the Beaglebratz are with me. When I got ho,e the day after surgery, Shiloh stayed by my side almost constantly with Shasta close by. She has developed into quite a playmate with my sister's Westie, Beilie - my sister got some good pics of those two playing together and I will post them when I can. Ok, need to go for now - will be bak when I can and so will the
B-bratz.
Howdy all - Shiloh here rite now. First I gotta tell ya about my little sis, Shasta - she dun me proud tuday, well kinda. It wooda bin better if she had shared with me but I never share either. Mom wuz makin a sandwich an/I guess Shasta thought it wuz fer her cuz she made off with a slice of bread. Did not think she wood du that but she proved me wrong - ohly wooda bin better if she had let me haf sum.
Herd mom tell aunt sis that she felt like a chiken with itz hed cut off -cuz she wuz so excited about Tuezday. Well me an'Shasta r just glad that mom wuzn't a real chikem. By the way, mom sed we B-bratz r goin fer a "spa day" tumorrow - mom sed we need tu git bootified - not shure what all that meanz but I no r bootyz r just fine the way they r.
Shasta here now - what iz this thing with the niknamez? Now mom iz callin' me goosy-loosy, Now if u ask me, she iz the one who iz goosy. An'since when r we B-bratz drumz? Sumtimez when mom iz sittin'by us an'we r all listenin'tu musik, mom startz tappin'on us - at least she don't uze them stiks they uze fer drumz - just her fingerz.
Well mom iz callin' fer me an'hiloh tu go outside. I will say g'nite now frum me an'Shiloh.
Note from mom - Okm ao I'm a little excited - well ater almost 6 months total, I am so BEYOND ready for this to end. The cornea transplant will be around 2:30 this Tuesday afternoon. The surgery will be an outpatient procedure in Kansas City(Overland Park). Along with the transplant, the surgeon is adding a layer of stem cells that he is hoping will aid in healing - stronger and healthier. Mu sis and I are staying the nite at a nearby motel because I have my first
post-op appointment at 9 the next morning then hopefully get to do a little shopping before we come home however that depends on what I hear from the doc. My vision will still be a little blurry for a few days due to the stem cells but they are suppose to adhere into the eye within 2 weeks or so. So I am not sure when I will be back - hopefully before the 2 weeks are up. The doc says my vision will be like having a sheet of wax paper over my eye - like I told my pastor, I can deal with a sheet but it/s the box I am looking through now that I can't handle. Will be bak when we can.
