Before I start my story today, I wanted to thank all of you who spoke up and let Mama know she should NOT have woken me up the other day while she was making the test movie on the BAR website. Sometimes Mama is soooo rude!! She comes up with silly excuses too. Like, "Bilbo, your hips are going to get too sore if you sit still too long". Doesn't she know I'm almost 14 years old and need my 6 hour naps!!
Lately though, my eyes have been getting VERY crusty. It was getting so bad late last week, that I could hardly open them. Mama called the V-E-T to make an appointment and they said Mama should soak my eyes with a warm damp compress.
SAY WHAT??? OMD...I am not going to show you the
torture that Mama put me through because it was just too horrible!!
She put a WET WASH CLOTH ON MY EYES!!!!
Now...my face is ALL WET!
Excuse me, Mama
I think I deserve a double pumpkin cookie reward for this!!!

Dear Bilbo, We are only 5 and 6 and we like 6 hour naps too. We are sending you POTP for the vet. We know someone like you who is not a sissy won't have any problems with it!
ReplyDeleteMy sister Katie is almost 14 but she is in much worse shape than you are. Getting old stinks, but it is what happens. Take care of yourself.
ReplyDeleteyou are never a sissy Bilbo... you are a trooper and a super fabulous boy...
ReplyDeleteShe put a washcloth on your face. How furry rude was that!
ReplyDeleteWe are sending all kind of POTP fo Bilbo. We really hope that the vet can help sort out what is going on. These pictures are super cute! I had absolutely no idea he was 14!
ReplyDeleteHari OM
ReplyDeleteI dunno Bilbo... you look all bright and beautiful after having the indignity of a washer! Of course you have all POTP from me!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
You deserve a cookie for that treatment.
ReplyDeleteOh no Bilbo you are NOT a sissy for sure!! I just went through some eye stuff too...maybe it is the curse of being 14 (I didn't know we were the same age).Last Sunday I was doing the blinky blinky at mom and my right eye was running. Yep I was at the vet at 10:30 a week ago today. It is was a wee infection that I seem to get every so often. I got stuck with a needle for antibiotics and then then then a bottle of eye torture came home with us. 3 drops a day for 7 days. Thank goodness for some odd reason I don't mind drops::I know amazing::
ReplyDeleteToday is my last day.
I send you a ton of kitty kisses on your sweet manly eyes and a gentle hug
Madi your bfff
Sending some POTP my pals. I went to the vet last week with crusty eyes. Turns out this old age thing makes so many changes to a body that now I have dry eye. Good grief
ReplyDeleteAwwwww Pawfessor Bilbo..... your being treated so rudely... furst the WAKE UP and then the Wet Washcloth... Good Grief... this is NO WAY to be treating a superior senior such as yourself. We believe that your peeps need some re training...
ReplyDeleteSometimes they have some very MISGUIDED Notions.
OMD, Bilbo! She put a wet washcloth on your EYES?!?! Torture! Animal abuse! Contact the SPCA!!!
ReplyDeletePrayers for the vet visit. we have one coming up soon for jake. Bilbo, that is what i do for my eyes when i wake up, warm wet washcloth per my eye doctor. it works for allergies . you sure look good after all that torture she put you through...

Getting older does suck, I turned 5 yesterday and I'm beginning to get grey hairs. What the woof is up with that.
ReplyDeleteAroo to you,

Oh Bilbo my friend - I can so relate being 13 yrs old myself and having horrible hips and arthritis in my back too. I am going to have mom email your mom tonight about a new arthritis supplement that both Hazel & I have been taking for almost 2 months now. Mom is pleased with it so far.
ReplyDeletehugs
Mr Bailey
Hazel & Mabel too
It's nice to see an entire post just about little Bilbo! As Joey dog can attest, being 14 isn't for sissies.
ReplyDeleteOh, Bilbo, I'm 14 or 15 myself, so I understand that getting old ain't for sissies.
ReplyDeleteMerci
Bilbo, you look quite good to us and your eyes are bright and sparkly. We hope whatever is making them crusty is easily fixed. Good luck at the vet's. Mom says you might ask the vet if can help her hips too:)
ReplyDeleteWoos - Ciara and Lightning
Look at the bright side...you got a yummy treat! ;)
ReplyDeleteDefinitely sending prayers for you, Bilbo!
ReplyDeleteMy Zimmie had to have a warm compress on his face a couple times a day for a while, too. He told me it felt good, but that I shouldn't tell Mom. He got LOTS of treats and I think you should, too!
Cammie!
We're glad that you were finally rewarded for enduring such torture. We will keep our paws crossed that the dogtor visit goes well.
ReplyDeleteBut you're so freaking cute! Good luck at the vet! It seems to be vet week all over blogville.
ReplyDeleteYour mom is right. Getting older is not so good when things start to go wonky
ReplyDeleteYou go, Bilbo! My paws will be crossed for your doctor visit on Friday.
ReplyDeleteLove ya lots♥
Molly
