Sunday Pupdates

First of all, paws down to our internet connection which started giving trouble again before we could even catch up. Right now it mostly works from 7 am to 7 pm, approximately. That is not when there are humans available to help with  blogging and visiting, unfortunately. Someone's coming tomorrow.  If that doesn't work out we might have to switch to Verizon, which we don't really want to do, or so I'm told. But we might. So there's that.

Next, the good news. My meds came from Canada! Just as promised and at a pawfectly reasonable price. Not only am I being helped by this, as well as lots of other Shar Pei, but also our friend CoCo is now going to get her meds from Canada, too. She was sick a while back. And then she got better. But she needs very expensive medications to keep her well and healthy. Much more expensive than mine, even at the new prices. So, when we told her Mom about the Canada option she looked into it and can get CoCo's medications at a much more manageable price, leaving more green papers for the humans to have things like groceries and such. I mean, they've got to keep up their strength to take proper care of us, right? In case anydoggy's interested, we got ours from Pharmacy Rx World. There are lots of others, but now that we got our stuff, just as promised, we thought we should share that link.

What with all these connection problems we haven't posted much about our day to day doings lately. Well, there haven't been so many of those anyway once we thought about it. It was a pretty quiet winter from our point of view. Now it's almost Spring, so maybe things will get more exciting. One thing we did do over the winter was watch Franklin's nose get crusty. I thought you might enjoy some photos of old crusty so there they are:

Franklin with original nose
Together with the red eyes, he's turning out to be a real looker
It seems to be something called nasodigital hyperkeratosis and does not appear to have a cure. I must say it doesn't seem to bother him or interfere with his self esteem any, though. 


My second Gotcha Day is in  just a couple of weeks. I'm making gift lists for the humans and I hope they're planning something nice. I also hope that our connection is more reliable then than it is now.


Once again, we apologize for our spotty visiting lately. Sometimes we lose our connection right in the middle of our rounds, or sometime before we even get started, but I have been assured that we will get this fixed eventually, for sure.

  1. We're so glad to hear from you and know that you are well. It's really good that you can get your meds from Canada with reasonable price too.
    Hope Franklin's nose problem isn't a big deal and won't hurt him.
    Internet problems seem to be a universal problem to many people too. Hope it's fixed as soon as possible.

  12. What a coincidence, Lola! We were thinking of u today and wondering if u were having net problems again..we hadn't heard from u for so long..
    So nice to know the GOOD NEWS. We are very glad the meds have come and that many of our friends can get them too if they need to.
    Have u tried putting some moisturiser on Franklin's nose? Aloe vera sounds like a good idea. We don't know if the crusts will go but we are sure it won't crack and bleed or become painful or something.
    He looks as handsome and adorable as ever..crusty nose or otherwise:)
    Wags,
    Buddy, Ginger n Shadow

    pee ess: We wish u a VERY VERY Happy Gotcha Day in advance, just in case the net misbehaves!
    We love u and are very glad we know u:)

  13. Such wonderful news to hear about the meds from Canada. We hope you can continue to get them and feel better. We haven never heard of that nose crustiness, but we wonder if some sort of moisturizing cream would help.

  23. Nice of you to share the link for other doggies who might need cheaper alternatives, that's why we love you so much, Lola. Franklin's crusty nose is cute, and I guess what's doesn't hurt him, then just leave it be. Hope your internet line behave nicely soon and have a wonderful spring.

    Licks, hero

  30. Hi Lola, We're glad you were able to get your meds from the nice Canadian folks. They send us our meds, too.

    One of Mom's other dogs, Pylon, got that nasty crusty nose thing too. It bothered Mom more than it did Py.

    We hope you get to have a party for your big day.
