Roll Call 27

No we just walk around and enjoy the scenery. There's lots of beautiful trees, squirrels and ducks. We even saw a bird with orange wings!

Poor daisy. Hope she gets to feeling better. give her a hug for me.

Aw thanks I sure will. She's all stretched out asleep on my bed. She's had a very busy day

Cool! I'm trying to stay up, I wanna go back to bed. I'm sleeping way too much. It sucks, I'm just so tired. It's since I increased my mood stabilizer.

Aw dang! I'm so sorry you're having so much trouble with your sleeping. I remember when you weren't getting enough sleep. Now too much sleep? I hope you can find a way to balance it out. Should you decrease the mood stabilizer?

I had to put tiger out on the balcony this morning. He'll keep touching my face when he wants something. He wanted to be fed but it was 3 more hours until breakfast. If I just put him outside of my room he'll make all kinds of noise, lol. He's a bugger, lol.

That sounds like my oldest daughter's cat Louie. He will head butt her and softly bite her head if she's asleep and he wants to eat. If that doesn't wake her then he'll meow loudly in her face. He's a spoiled mess

Well I take doxepin for sleep and I only have 50mg capsules. What I really need is 25mg ones. I'm gonna call the psych nurse Monday. I'd rather decrease doxepin bc it's a weight gainer for me. The lamictal doesn't have any side effects, so I'd like to keep that where it's at. It's such a pain...

Yeah, tiger is pretty spoiled, lol.

Hopefully you can get some 25's. Too bad it's a capsule. If it were a tablet then you could just cut it in half.

I know, ugh...

Have you seen these ice cooled dog collars?

im sorry your sleeping is so much sunshine. i hate capsules cuz you cant cut them in half

I just google searched and it showed that you can get them in either a capsule or a tablet for 50mg. If your doc could give you a script for the tablet ones then you could just cut them in half. That way you could control whether you take a 50 or a 25.

That's very cool! I've never seen those before! That's perfect for Texas heat! Thanks so much for sharing that with me

I always take a cold water bottle for Daisy when we go to the lake. She drinks right out of the bottle. Then I rub some on her head and face to keep her cool. That ice cooled dog collar is a much better idea!

Yeah I was thinking of getting one for my sisters dog....she lives in Austin...

I'm going to order Daisy one

i bet my dog ben would like that

I bet he would too! Texas heat is so hard on our little doggies!

My vet said the heat and humidity makes nasty bacteria grow in the grass which is what caused Daisy's skin infection on her little feet. There's so many dogs around here that go potty in the grass. It's disgusting! I'm about to go buy a big sheet of artificial grass and put it on my balcony for Daisy. I can just wash it down with the water hose if needed. This is the second time she's got the skin infection on her feet from this grass out here.

thats interesting cause theres a growth on my dogs back and we hadnt groomed him. we dont if its dog acne or if a mosquito put larvae in his back

Does he scratch it a lot?

no he doesnt. sometimes it think

You probably should get it checked out by your vet. It could still be some sort of skin infection.
