Bilbo here, Mama took me to the V-E-T this week
for a follow up senior visit. They checked my eyes and said the Opptimune is doing it's work and I am making some tears!!
Unfortunately, the vet said the reason I haven't been making any noise in the past 4 weeks or so, is because I am not hearing much.Mama felt kind of bad, because she thinks I have always had "selective hearing" (which I may have had at one time but I'll never tell!). I also got my rabies shot and they stole some of my blood.
The V-E-T also said something about needing to gain some weight and gave me an appetite stimulator so I will eat more...
I told Mama as long as she puts out my pumpkin cookies
I will do my best to eat them all gone!
Mama helped me take this cool selfie while we were waiting for the dogtur. I think it shows my best side!!
Happy Black and White Selfie Sunday!
We are also joining The Cat on My Head this week for Selfie Sunday
I bet that with the loving care of your mama you will be right as rain soon. And not hearing everything can certainly be a blessing. Yesterday the man upstairs was cooking and the fire alarm went off four times! The noise was horrible!!!

Excellent photos!!! Wish we had that problem...they are always telling us to eat LESS...not more! Hang in there!! xo
ReplyDeleteWhat a great picture of you and Mom Bilbo. Sorry you are going a little deaf but we know the Mom will figure it out. She can teach you hand signals. And Bilbo, you get busy and eat lots of food. You all have a great day.
ReplyDeleteYou are such a doll Bilbo. Love the selfie of you and your mom♥
ReplyDeletethat's a super selfie, VERY well done. and if you need help on the food front, call me please I will help you out :o)

ReplyDeleteAwww Bilbo - you are, quite literally, in safe hands!!! Hugs and wags, YAM-aunty xxx
I'm glad your eyes are doing better, but sorry to hear you are not hearing quite as well. Such sweet pictures!
ReplyDeleteBilbo you look very dignified in those pictures - must be the age. We are glad your eyes are better and hope you get lots and lots of extra treats!
ReplyDeleteMy mom thinks you are adorable, Mister Bilbo!
ReplyDeleteI think you are just as handsome as ever! Happy Sunday to you!
ReplyDeleteI know how hard it is dealing with not hearing because I live with an 80 year old man and 80 year old dog and neither one of them can hear very well and the dog can't see because of cataracts. I am so glad you were in good health and that you're making your own tears and I hope your appetite gets better
ReplyDeleteWe hope little Bilbo starts eating more. We used to give Joey dog a pat of butter every day to provide extra calories.
ReplyDeleteBilbo....aka Bilbro...because I have known you so long you are like a bro to me, MOL
ReplyDelete(Mom still can't believe she called you Bilbro for so long but it was because she knew a professor whose name was Griff Bilbro) You are an inspiration to all us senior furbabes.
I am proud to be in your circle. I love your selfies with your sweet Momma too who loves your '2 hours and a bunch'. (You'll understand that when you see my blog. MOLMOL
Hugs and snuggles madi and mom
That is your best side ,but both are lovely,xx Speedy
ReplyDeleteAw love this pic of you two!
ReplyDeleteIt is so very good to see you today, Bilbo!!! We hope you can find a way to pick up that appetite. It isn't an easy battle to win - we fought it long and hard with Phantom.

That is a very handsome selfie! We are glad you are doing well and if you really need to gain weight we think you need BACON!!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Very handsome selfie, bro. Delighted to hear you're doing pretty darn good. [No pun intended] 😎
ReplyDeleteYour fur-iend,

We're glad your eyes are doing better. Great selfie.
ReplyDeleteThat is a totally pawesome selfie, Bilbo! Don't worry, you don't need to be able to hear much in Blogville!
ReplyDeleteYou are looking so cute in your selfie Bilbo. We hope your mom gives you lots of pumpkin biscuits.
ReplyDeleteGreat selfie!
ReplyDeleteBilbo - us old guys gotta stick together so keep eating those pumpkin cookies. That is one thing Mom doesn't have to worry about - I love to eat and I let them know it.
ReplyDeleteI still see pretty good but the hearing not so much.
manly hugs
Mr Bailey
Woofs for more pumpkin :-) SUGAR can relate to your hearing problem. Your mom will take care of you. Golden Woofs, SUGAR
ReplyDeleteFor a senior I think you are entitled to have selective hearing, I know I would do... but don't tell the peep, who thinks it is her hearing not mine that is askew... where peep got that from I just can't imagine. Anyways a lovely selfie, of you both. Have a lovely week. purrs ERin
ReplyDeleteEvery side is your best side, handsome boy!!!
ReplyDeleteI am totally on the side of more pumpkin!
Cammie!
Bilbo, all your sides are good. We love, love, love the selfie with your mom. Sorry about the hearing thing. One of Mom and Dad's woofies lost her hearing when she was about seven years old. Please eat no matter what your mommy puts out for you. Thanks for hopping with us. XOCK, Lily Olivia, Mauricio, Misty May Giulietta, Fiona, Astrid, Lisbeth and Calista Jo
