Eubie and Dianne
Tomorrow, April 19th, 2001 will be the fifth anniversary of
Eubie (dd) being
diagnosed as a possible diabetc. This was the day after
our other dog died
unexpectedly of undetected cancer. Possibly stress
induced diabetes?
Anyway I use the term as possible diabetic since Eubie's sugar
would be
slightly elevated one day, then fine for a week and back and
forth for
about a month until vet put him on insulin. It has been an amazing
five
years...with the best part meeting all of you -- our new friends.
As the
long timer members know, back in February 1999 Eubie survived
an insulin
overdose administered by our pet sitter; he also had successful
cataract
surgery & lens implants in 1998.
Eubie is now almost 14 years old, and has undergone laser surgery
in November 2002 to reduce the pressure in his left eye caused
by glaucoma.
Tibbie Hugs,
Dianne & Eubie (Who's she calling an
old timer? Heck I'm only 12!)
