ITS RANDAY!

HAPPY RANDAY EVERYBODY!!! Since this was a holiday weekend - it was a DOUBLE RANDAY! Hope everyone had a great time! The above photo was taken last summer of me eating Wally Melon - so its a classic - its the pic I submitted for IKE's Summer Photo Contest...Unfortunately, I didn't win, but Snowball did! YEAH SNOWBALL!

Here is a piccy of me eating Frosty Paws...its from last week - but you can see how my stitches are still in my new circuit panel on my side...My mom/secretary still hasn't dumped new pics onto the 'puter...so hopefully I can get some new pics of my stitch-less body for you this week.

On this Randay, I'm thankful for the 4th of JULY & all the men & women who serve in our military & continue to ensure the independance of the great US of A!

Love & Licks,

Randi

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody~! Here I am taking a nap & my mom/secretary always wakes me up from a deep slumber...that stupid camera flash...one of these days I'm going to pretend its a stuffy & have it succumb to shaken stuffie syndrome...only with that dumb camera....

Anyway...My peoples have some friends visiting from New Zealand! Right next door to Opy & Charlie! They are going to Las Vegas tomorrow & I'm gonna stay with my godmother Suzanne - That's where I get my middle name from - Randi Sue!

I'll be out of the office for a few days - Oh - I get my stitches out tomorrow! WHOOO!!!

On this Randay, I'm thankful for New Zealanders who give awesome ear massages!

Love & Licks,
Randi

She's squeezing me way too tight & getting me all slobbery with what she calls 'happy tears'... Thanks so all you DWB friends who sent me pawsitive healing vibes!

ITS RANDAY! & no news yet...

Happy Randay Everybody! First of all, I want to send a very heartful THANK YOU to all of you who left very pawsitive & healing vibes on my last post...they have helped me to heal faster & feel better & even though there is NO NEWS YET from my butt-biopsy ...I'm feeling very PAWSITIVE that I'm gonna be OK...I'm eating, peeing, pooping, playing & feeling good! Besides the fact that my ouchie spots are now turning into itchy spots & I've discovered that rubbing my bum on the carpet feels good...but is bad for my mom/secretary/maid cuz she has to clean up a line of blood that oozes from my incision...Notice the sock cozy that is now on my back left footie..thats so I don't scratch my new circuit panel...& the cone on my head is so I don't scratch the ouchie behind my right ear...(found that out the hard way with a bloody mess on my head...)

I've discovered that this cone actually makes me hear lots better! Look at my ears which are like super duper antennas! TUNE IN TOKYO~!

I'm closing my eyes & channeling my inner ZEN here to intercept all your healing vibes!

Ohmmmmmm......Ohmmmm.......Ohm......

Oh - antenna position change....new sounds intercepted....

This is me in a state of healing...or as Wally said..."when I get that feelin'...I need Corgador Healin!"

Ok...antennas down...time to relax....

Hey...watch the camera angle, mom/secretary/puparazzi!

Even though I'm a bit banged up...I can still multitask with my favorite nylabone! Hopefully tomorrow we will have the results of my biopsy & I'll let everyone know asap!

On this Randay, I'm thankful for all my DWB friends who have helped me to heal by taking time to send me pawsome messages & good vibes!

Love & Licks,
Randi

PS - Happy Daddy's Day to my Daddy & all the Daddies out there!

LumpieBumpie Surgery

Randi's mom/secretary here...this morning Randi underwent surgery to remove 3 lumpiebumpies - one behind her ear (papalloma), one on her left side (lipoma - fatty tumor) & another more serious one on her bum...this one is being biopsied - it could either be a hemangioma or a hemangiosarcoma - please say a little prayer that it is the benign first one - not the horrible "C" word which is the second one. We should have results on Friday. The following pics are a bit graphic...so be aware... Randi's resting comfortably now & came through the surgery well. Here she is above all happy at 7am that I said, "Do you want to go in the car?"

She's probably very hungry here...she didn't even get to eat her breakfast...

She's such a good girl...she takes up the entire back seat...all 87.5 pounds of her...her actual weight this morning since she pooped, peed & didn't have breakfast...

Poor thing...looks likes she had a new circuit panel installed...the fatty tumor was removed from this site.

The papalloma - which looked like a skin tag - was removed from behind her right ear...her left leg was shaved a bit for the IV.

Its hard to see here...but on the right side of her bumbum is where she has about a 4 inch x 3 inch shaved area where the suspicious tumor was...I'm concerned that this is going to be a tough spot to heal, since one of her favorite activities lately was rubbing her bum on the carpet & patio...maybe irritation from the tumor?

So please keep Randi in your prayers...we're trying to keep a positive attitude & only worry when we know we have something to worry about...

On a very sad note, this morning we found out that Randi's brother & littermate ,Gus, who lives on the east coast, has lymphoma...so he needs your pawsitive energy sent his way as well... We found out a few days ago that another one of Randi's brothers/littermates, Dakota, passed away last year of mass cell cancer...so its been chilling news all around...

ITS RANDAY!

Happy Randay Everybody! Do you see what I see?

Two Mourning Doves! I named them Lovey & Dovey...They like to hang out on the fence in my yard...usually I just leave them be & just like to watch them...but today I did something....

I ATE THEM!

Ah HA! GOTCHA! I'm just kidding! Lovey & Dovey just flew away when I started to get too close to them...oh well...the only birdies I like are grilled chicken tenders from KFC...

My mom/secretary says I was acting really goofy today...Here is proof...She says this is my goofy-newfy face...

Then I continued my goofy behavior by walking in every water & mud puddle on my morning walk...

My sock cozy for my footie got kind of dirty...

Ah, who cares! Randays are FUNDAYS!!!!

On this Randay, I'm thankful for my two backyard friends - Lovey & Dovey!

Love & Licks,
Randi

Its Not Right, But its OK...

I'm at the Vet....Lube?

LUBE! Oh NO!

A well deserved shopping trip for treatables is only right...

Notice the sock cast on my front left paw paw...I have an ouchie on the inner web of my footie - its infected & now I'm on anti-biotic pill poppers for the next 3 weeks...& even worse, next week I have to be put under to have some too-mers taken outta me...one on my bum bum is kinda suspicious, the vet said...so they have to biopsy that one... I'm not thinking about that at the moment cuz I'm enjoying my peanutbutter filled bone & wiping my snouter on my very own napkin/sock.

**Randi's mom/secretary here...Little Miss Randi Sue needs to have a small thing taken off of her head, another larger fatty lump removed from the left side & a more solid, hard lump about two inches to the right of her bum bum opening....the vets are suspicious of that one as they aspirated it & looked at the cells under a mircoscope...& they didn't look exactly normal...so please think good thoughts...

Love & Licks,

Randi
