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 KISSIES RULE!!!!!!!! KISSIES RULE!!!!!!! KISSIES RULE!!!!!!!!
