LONG OVERDUE

Yes, Long overdue for an update. Rikee is doing fine. Her eye is healing and the appointments are few. Rylee has been neutered. Poor baby couldn't figure out why those big bumps are gone. I guess nothing to lick now....Heehee! We will be without one horse buddy. Jessie will have new home Labor Day weekend. She will be missed and hopefully she will be taken care of. Roper and Ginger are up for sale now. They, too, will be missed when they go. We are now down to one Parakeet. Momma found the yellow one on the bottom of the cage today. Momma keeps telling us that when the last one goes there will be no more.

Another Recheck

Rikee had her second recheck on her eye. This time we drove to Detroit Lakes rather than driving down to Golden Valley. Rylee and I were able to go for a car ride to keep Master Momma company.

Anyway the appointment went well. Her eye is healing, but she still has drops that need to be instilled. This time they are different drops. Some sort of steroid drops and this time she has to be watched because this could effect her Diabetes.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY REEBA

AND to the one who makes sure we are taken care of with food, shelter and such~ HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR MASTER MOMMA!

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RIKEE 6/2/2000

(Sorry, this is a day late, Rikee!)

Rikee

Rikee had her surgery on May 21st. Looks like it went fine but Rylee and I (Reeba) have to laugh when we do see her. She has this funny looking plastic collar on. I guess so she doesn't scratch or rub her eye. Though she has figured out how to rub. Then we cry for her because she can't play with us. She has to be cooped up in her crate so we don't bother her. US.....BOTHER HER?? NAHH! WE WOULDN'T DO THAT!! ( yes, we would!) Anyway, she gets all this special treatment from our Masters. But how stressful this may have been for them we won't take on some pretend known issues to seek that attention.
Rikee gets to go for car ride on Thursday for a check up. Maybe, just maybe we may be able to go as well.

Update on Rikee

Again our Masters have been busy...Rikee now has a Glucose Monitor for her Diabetes. Now Momma Master can check her levels and report her 12 hour curve to Dr. Anne.

The first time the curve was done Rikee had to have her ear pricked to draw the blood. Rikee didn't seem to mind but sometimes she ran when it was time to do the test again. Well, the first curve the numbers were crazy so she had to go through it again the next day. Numbers were better this time but still running too high so Drs. Paul and Anne have increased her Vetsulin (animal insulin) to 9 units. She will have another curve done in a month.

Rikee is done with her annual check with the vet, too. She is done until next year.

April 27th, 28th and 29th

ALRIGHT!!! The dates above were the dates Gramma and Grampa were over taking care of us while our Master's were away at the Horse Expo. We never left our Gramma's side. Though they had to make sure the Horses were fed we were with them at ALL times. Rheeya, too. We were very good because that is what Gramma told out Master Momma.

Boy, did we have Gramma fooled....HeeHee!
