Miss Daisy would very much like to thank you all for your kind wishes. She would like you to know that her medication is helping control her symptoms – she has lost 5 kg of retained fluid (that’s around 12 lbs, we thought she was just getting fat!) in less than a week and is back to her previous slender self. She is well enough to go on short gentle walks ……
And still likes to take the lead with her big brother Ben following protectively behind, keeping a careful eye on her. She is relishing all the extra attention, the special treats (with tablets hidden inside!) and fuss. None of this will make a great deal of difference to her life expectancy of course ….
But it’s wonderful to see her looking cheerful again and be reassured that whatever time she does have left is going to be very happy for her.
I am so glad to hear that Daisy is doing better. I guess I missed what was wrong with her. We lost our Tippie Sue (chihuahua), to renal failure just over a year ago. We did all that we could for her, but God needed her home with Him. After 8 months, we did get another dog. A Terrier mix, Lily Belle. Both of these dogs happened to be black with a little white markings.
So sorry to hear that Deborah, but pleased Lily Belle has now joined your family xx
And I’m sure you are much more cheerful Helen. Thanks for the update. And Deborah, what lovely names for your precious pets!!
Thank you Jean. Sort of sad and happy I think. Happy she’s feeling more herself, but sad I won’t have her for nearly as long as I’d hoped.
Thank you for the update on Daisy. It’s so nice to see her feeling better and to know that the medication will help maintain her quality of life. Sending many hugs to you all…

Thanks Linda, yes we hadn’t realised quite how subdued she’d become. She’s very cheerful and waggy again now though! Xx
She looks very beautiful, and so does her big brother!!!
As thanks Jasmine xx
Glad to hear Daisy is feeling better.
Thank you Christine xx
Great to hear about Daisy – she sure does look beautiful and she will be thinking how good life is that she is getting extra treats!
Yes, she will only have a short life, but it’s going to be a VERY happy one! xx
Helen, your love for your pets is heartwarming and beautiful. I am sure Miss Daisy will enjoy all her days with you taking good care of her. God Bless you and your pets as you journey to your new home.
Thank you Sherry. I must say I’m not looking forward to the journey with them – after all neither have left the South Hams since I had them so they’re not at all used to long car journeys. Still we’ll stop for lots of breaks for them to stretch their paws and have drinks, so sure they’ll be OK. And lots of exciting new places for them to discover when we’re settled in. xx
Glad to hear Daisy is looking and feeling better – I hope she can stay well on her medication for as long as possible.x
Thank you xx
Dear Daisy sending you much love and prayers to stay comfortable and happy with your very lovely mum Helen and family. Angela Burdenxxxx
Lovely news about Daisy, so glad she’s feeling much better. Good luck with the move am sure you will all cope with it. Just thing how relieved you’ll feel at the end of the day when you’re all sitting down and relaxed. Best wishes to you all xx
