Well I should be online now till I get my Internet connection next Wednesday I have been going crazy last week with no connection at all, it has also been stressful and hectic with my little Boy Gissi
He has been a few more times to the Vet, he has to stay on the Medication for removing the water of his lungs for the rest of his Life now, I am now desperately hoping I do not need to rush him to the Vet any more for the next few Months as the Bill has shot up, I have to pay this of now before any more treatment for Gissi, no it is not my Fault as the Vet says, as it was not expected that Gissi would turn for the worse, that I did nearly have the Bill paid of and then everything went wrong
Well the last few Days Gissi has picked up again, but I have to be honest he does not have as much energy any more like he used to have
2 Nights ago I had to carry him home, we didn't even get to the Field, when he started coughing retching and able to breathe properly, when we got home I nearly collapsed, as my Lungs did not cope well at all, but the little Man could not move, all I wanted was to get him home and tend to him
It took half an hour to stop him having the attack
Then I had to take Pain Killers and my Inhalers to stop the pain on my Lungs and to breathe properly lol, we where a right mess 
, but he is still being cheeky and has Mischief in him
We went to visit Molly (his Friend at the old Place) on Tuesday and Molly's Mum has new Cushions, well Gissi decided to run over the Cushions and then throw them all on the Floor, Molly just sat there watching him, the worse was as Viv and me are picking them up, Gissi throws them back down, well Viv and me just gave up, we could not even get angry with him as it was so funny
So that is the update on the little Man
Do you have Pets that are full of mischief?????

I am glad to hear that Gissi is feeling better and you need to watch yourself too missy! Your health is just as important so take it easy! 
Katie isn't really to mischevious she just likes to bark at bigger dogs and I think it's funny because she's so tiny (shihtzu). BUT the only time she really barks at bigger dogs, growls, and shows her teeth is when she sees another dog that we don't know run up to Angelina or Chloe! She is quite the protector for such a little pooch!

I am sorry he had that attack but am glad he's still full of mischief. One of our chihuahua's peanut likes to run off into the woods. We tell him "NO" and "get back here" but he doesn't listen. We end up having to go get him or just wait for him to come home.

Maybe he thinks it's a game? Which if he's playing any amount, it's good.

When you disappeared, I feared the worse!!! Yes, my cats are full of mischief. They have learned how to open child proof caps on my meds. So, when I need a bottle open, I just give it to the cats & voila!!! 
I got on my scales the other day & I had gained 15 pounds. I dayum near had a heart attack!!! 
I jumped off the scales screaming "This just can't be right!!!" When I looked down, the scales were set on 10 pounds instead of zero. The scales sit in the bathroom floor with nothing near them to touch the adjuster knob. I live alone with ONLY my two devil babies...so, it had to be them!!! They were both sitting in the bathroom door watching me. I adjusted the scale back down to zero & weighed again. I was back to where I was supposed to be. I looked at the cats & I could see them laughing...the little brats!!!

When my Son had Cookie (his Dog) she was so sweet but when it came to wanting something and we would not give, she used to look at Gissi, he would come over and sit nice lol which of course both Dogs knew always melts my heart
I am hoping to be here now till Wednesday when I finally get connected

And the brats just keep on coming!!! I had to go over to my Dad's to fix his tele. While out, I stopped & picked up some grilled chicken for my lunch. I come home, fix my plate & sit down to enjoy my lunch & watch the movie. My good cat comes over to see what I'm having for lunch & I swear I saw him signal the cat from hell. Two seconds later the cat from hell jumps on my shoulder, grabs my chicken & takes off running with the good cat running behind him for his share of the chicken. A friend sent me an email saying I shouldn't call my bad guy the cat from hell. Well, he's the one who is the first to get in trouble. My good boy used to be really good, but the cat from hell is slowly but surely corrupting him. Now I just call BOTH of them my devil babies. I think you know I LOVE BOTH of them, but today I have murder in my heart!!!

Gabby, I'm so sorry that Gissi has had a bad bout with his health and it appears to be getting worse. Give him a hug hug and kiss from me and tell him Auntie moon says he needs to slow down a bit if not for himself but for his mum.
Maybe you could take a baby stoller with you for him to ride back home in as you are not able to be carrying your little baby like that.
I do have a couple of babies that are full of mischief, one more than the other at times.
Take care Gabby.

Hi Sweetie
He will be ok I will make sure of that so you do not worry, the vet said there will be up and down times with him as long as he has the Tablets to keep the water of the Lungs he should do ok
This morning I took him to the Field for the first time since that Night but I would not let him be there to long a bit at time
Big Hugs to you and lots of love always

my feral cats don't play as much as the others, but this morning I was trying to get back to sleep and Gizmo attacked my toes under the covers...
Well, since his nails aren't trimmed, I couldn't have that, so I held still and then distracted him.
He's our ... well, I was going to say oddest, but that's not quite right.
He doesn't like to be around us when we are moving around, but he'll come for pets when I'm in bed. Star is around and close by when we are up but you can't touch her and Ronnie is standoffish, but you can pet her if you can get close and she actually seems to like it.

Thanks for the update. How is Gissi coping with taking pills? He must be both used to and tired of taking them. Good to hear he can still get up to some mischief.
Both of you, take it easy and get well.

Hope things turn for the better for both of you....my Reggie used to open the cupboard doors and help himself to his treats.....I finally had to tie them shut as he wouldn't stop doing it...and who would? Piece of cake on the counter and I surely help myself!

hik gabs so good to hear from you. wow. so ourlittle man in the doggie'
suit has had some bad times. Im so sorry. but he seems to snap back out of it, but then he has the biggest heart for a little guy like that, and that spark of mischief still seems to be there. I can just see him throwing those cushions on the floor, as if to say so there and then'some. I wish I had a pet like Gissi, what fun that would be but to have a small dog or cat here you must pay an extra hundred a month which I do not have.I think we all here have sort of adopted your Gissi and we all wish him the best too.Sounds like you both were out of breath and panting. no fun I know. HOpe you are both feeling better now, hugs to you
and to Gissi. As long as Gissi has that sparkle in him theres all sorts of hope. take care both of you.love ya.

Hi Gabs. You know all about my girls. Lately, they've been so full of energy they just don't seem to know what to do with it. I mentioned in another discussion that dogs have no preference when they get, umm, tittilated, and both of my girls have been proving me right recently. 
I recently gave them both the full treatment of bath, brushing, nail trims, etc. and, since their hair is pretty long now, they think they're hot stuff and can get away with anything they want.
They've even taken to getting underneath the pillows on the sofa and pushing them onto the floor. Each time they do that, I'm reminded of Gissi. I've thought more than once that, if my girls ever got together with Gissi, no cushion would have a chance!
I'm happy to hear that he's still cheeky because it means he's not feeling TOO bad. I can almost understand the way his little brain works, though. Even though I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia almost 10 years ago now and I'm getting up there in years, I still forget that I can't do everything I used to. I'll over-do it and suffer for it afterward.
YOU need to take it easy, too, especially with Spring springing up all over the place. I've been coughing more than usual myself recently and I know it's from all the pollen that's in the air, even though I'm not allergic and have no real chronic lung problems.

Sorry you and Gissi are having a rough time of it right now. I hope you both start feeling better soon. No, my pets aren't very mischievious. I have two that are 7 and 8 and they just follow me around all day. They don't get in to much, except my garden. They haven't figured out yet it's mom's garden and that's a no-no, but I expect enough "no's" and they'll stop. Have a good day, Gabs.

Hi Sweetheart: I am so sorry to hear that little Gissi is still having so much trouble and seems to be getting worse my heart goes out to you;
You both sure had quite a night of it didn't you?? If I had money to spare I'd
sure send it to you to help out with the vet bills I've got one myself I've still
not paid and I need to take all of my pets to the Vet for shots and tags and good grief it never ends does it??
Sending you and Gissi, Love & hugs & Healing Energy ( I hope ) please take care
both of you;

Hi Gabs! I am glad that Gissi is ok although he is still a sick boy. It sounds as though he hasn’t lost his cheeky personality! As far as mischief goes I think the award should go to my cat Hewy. He is not yet a year old so all he wants to do is search and destroy! He has ruined and broken several things since we’ve had him. I get cross with him but he is so datn cute that I cannot stay mad at him for too long!
