just got a call from the girl working with bernie.
she had told me she was gonna call at 6:30. when she didnt i got a lil worried. so i got the call at 7:15.
she said a side from everybody falling in love with my child, he was doing great. they switched his meds as well. hes eating like theres no tomorrow, and drinking too. which is great. she said he had just got back in from leaving/reading pee-mail, and downloading other info as well. (ahum)
she told me that bernie was amazingly strong in his upper body, and they were pretty impressed by that, sick or not.
yep thats daddys boy! :animal18:
i told her it really sucked coming home from work today to nobody. i usually come through the door and let out a "hey bud". well, please dont think im mental, but i did it any ways knowing hes not here. so theres the report. she said all things were good and hes doing just great!
keep up the prayers please. he still needs them.

I'm glad that Bernie's doing better. And you're not mental for calling out to him. It's a comfort thing. We're thinking about him all the time and keeping our fingers and paws crossed for a speedy recovery.
Hey, you're forgetting who your audience is -- we are all just as "mental" as you are! I am so glad to hear that Bernie is doing so good. Sounds like we might have some new beagle fans by the time Bernie comes home. Will definitely keep the prayers headed your way!
Always great to hear a good report from the doctor!! Maybe he'll be back with you sooner than you thought!
Way to go Bernie!

Rick...you're no more mental than the rest of us!!!
Yea, Bernie!!!! We love ya and we're thinking about you and ricksconnectd! Themla and Louise
Mental??!! (Count me in too)

.....and Beagle World must be the 'funny farm' where we all live. :hysterical:

Sending Bernie kisses in my thoughts. Prayers continuing....
thank folks, im still scared for him and the results yet. they are gonna do his MRI on monday to make sure of everything, then go to surgery.
they said they were gonna keep him about 4 or 5 days after, just to keep an eye on him.
I'm glad to hear the Berne is doing better. Let us know how the surgery goes. Good news is, he is going in walking. It makes the change for good long term results that much better.
well it is good to hear that he has a "beagle" appetite (always a good sign).

and yes you can count me among the "crazy dog people" who belong to the group. when I am going out of town and they have gone off to their respective hotels (I have 4 pups) it is very lonesome here.

will keeping sending out good thoughts and prayers for good results and a successful surgery for Bernie !!
This is gret news. We will be waiting for a ful report after the surgery.

So does that mean they are pretty sure it is his back? If that is the case, as Murphy's Dad says, the fact he is going in walking is a really good thing. And we're definitely hoping then that Bernie's surgery and recovery is like Booker's (her burst disk was in her neck) - she really amazed us with how well she did through it all and hopefully your buddy will be back with you soon.

Sending you and Bernie all our best - please do keep us posted on the big guy's progress.
thanks folks. hes not exactly walking. but he has full movement in his rear legs.he just cant hold himself up anymore. the surgon said he was almost positive it was his disk. hes seen thousands of these cases in these dogs alone. the MRI is due in the morning. it should tell them exactly whats going on in his back. the doc said if it were strickly a betting game, he would bet the house on a slipped disk. when i dropped him off friday he was walking, just couldnt hold himself up to well when he stopped.his team of doctors all feel pretty good about his surgery and recovery.
so thats what we're leaning towards.
Well I'm glad to hear he is doing well. We are always thinking of you and Bernie!
