Hey Everybody!!!!!
 
I am so happy I could just dook!!  After about 2 months, those days
being as dried up as an old well, as far as fert kissies go.  And I did
understand, Sammy just didn't feel well, and it probably took so much
energy.  Plus too, my poor boy felt so lousy.  He is basically bald
from the neck down.  I knew that Adrenal could cause more aggresssive
behaviors, but poor Sammy-man has been just plain aggitated.  He acts
very nervous,runs around his house like a mad man, uh, ferret.  He has
never ever acted like this and the worst thing, he would only allow me
to hold him for a second(that's when he's awake, When he sleeps, I scoop
him up, lay down on the couch in here(the fert room), put him on my
chest.  This I love so much because he stays here for so long.  The worst
thing about his aggitated state is that he won't be held long enough for,
what used to be a daily gift, I would ask him, "Got kisses for Mama?  and
he would just shower my cheek with Sammy kissies.  I just didn't know,
sometimes he was just too tierd, and sometimes he would be so wired, that
he couldn't be held, let alone give kissies.
 
I was so sad.  He wouldn't give kissies no matter how many times I
asked..  Last week, Sammy and I were at his Dr. yet again.  This time we
were going to get the last line of defense for his raging adrenal.Sammy
is almost 8, his old vet tried to remove the huge right side tumor, but
it was so invasive that he couldn't.  He closed Sammy back up.  He
recommended prayers and Lupron.
 
So, last week Sammy got his Lupron injection.  I have been inspecting as
hard as I could, his big, bald butt.  Today, I think, I am not sure, but
I think the biggest area of baldness seems to have changed.  It's not
shiny bald, it's more of a flat look.  But still I don't see fur coming.
BUT, something happened this evening that I was not expecting.  Something
that I had regretibly given up on.  I was holding Sammy up by my face so
that He could hear me tell him how very much I love him.  Every night I
tell him to tell himself, I GONNA GET BEDDER!!!!.  I had him up at my
face level, told him I loved him as I was began to open the door to put
him to bed.  Just as I finished telling him how much I loved him,
something so very remarkable happened!  MY SAMMY GAVE ME AN UNREQUESTED
SHOWER OF KISSES!!!!!!!  I can't convey to you how surprised, and how
thrilled, AND how blessed I felt!!!  Could it be that maybe he is
beginning to feel better???  Maybe this was just a fluke.  In any case,
Oh how wonderful, my Sammy kissed his Mama, and just as I was telling
HIM that I love HIM, he tells me how much HE loves ME!!!!!!
 
Thanks for everyone's concern for my Sammy-boy, Lets keep our fingers
crossed, maybe he's going to turn the corner!
 
Gratefully Yours,
Sue
