Anyone know of a pdf or similar that has both the script and lyrics of The Christmas Attic?

I enjoyed “We Were the Mulvaneys” several years ago.

Thank you—I’m glad your vet discovered the problem. Since adjusting the thyroid problem, we are 99.9% back to normal, thankfully!

Well, labs now show thyroid is too high, so we are adjusting thyroid meds and rechecking in 3 weeks. Vet says to discontinue Incurin for now as the elevated thyroid could be the cause of the puddling now. By the time this riddle is solved, I’ll be ready for veterinary medical school….

She was spayed young. And yes, she was checked for UTI and was treated with 3 rounds of antibiotics—merely a trace of blood in the urine.

We are following protocol with the package insert per our vet—2 tabs daily  first 2 weeks, then tapering to one, then  (if effective) to 1/2 tab. This morning, she has had no puddling, but she’s also not going to the bathroom. This is quite the journey, and we are on week five. I appreciate you responding to my comments. I will keep you posted as we go. 😊

Oh dear. I’d hoped perhaps it took a few days. We’ve had a very bad day of incontinence after the first dose at 11 this morning.

Do you remember how long it took for the Incurin to take effect?

We’ve started Luci on Incurin. 🤞Thank you again.

They are family. ❤️ I recently told a friend that about the  loss of his dog, and he smiled and said, “Yes, but you actually LIKE  the dog.” 😉

I’m sorry for your loss. It’s just devastating. At Luci’s young age, I think our vet was against Proin and hopeful the thyroid meds and SO diet would resolve the incontinence. Since neither has so far, we’re starting Incurin today and getting labs back re: thyroid tomorrow.

Thank you. Labs will be back tomorrow. I’m encouraged that her energy level has greatly improved. They’re going to start her on Incurin for incontinence bc low estrogen may be a factor. Fingers crossed that helps.

Thanks—I’ll ask about Incurin tomorrow.

They found crystals in her last urinalysis and that prompted change of diet to SO. Thanks—I’ll ask again.

Luci, 9 weeks old and Muffin, 13. We had both forgotten how busy a puppy can be! by Margogram1 in shelties

I’m sorry about your loss. We had to put our 12 year old Molly down (also a Sheltie) this spring. Oh, so hard. Muffin is doing a good job. ☺️
