Lookie what Judy (Gingergirlsmom) had made for Tink! A frog nightie!! Isn't it darling? Jodie (LuvmySissy) made it for her. Wasn't that a sweet and cute idea Judy had? I love Jodie's nighties. Remember I just got her a purple Hello Kitty one? She made it with velcro down the front so I can get Tink into it easer. She put velcro on this one too.

Thank you so much Judy! The techs at the vet school wil just love it!

OH, that reminds me - EVERYONE - Tink's frog is wearing out. She sucks on it so hard now. I've repaired it several times, but it's getting beyond repair. If anyone sees these anywhere, please get one and I'll pay you for it and postage. I think I got it at Target but it was over a year ago.

The nightie! and then the frog (the top is green and the belly is yellow)!

Hi Susie! I'm glad you got the nightie. I feel so helpless to be of any real use. Hope today brought more good news. Give Tink hugs!

Yes, there will be days for Tink that are not rated high on the bar, and probably two steps forward - one step backward until she is stronger.

Do you have a heavy weight shawl that can be wrapped around your neck, and place her in there? Similar to the sling you were talking about?

It has to be difficult to see her struggle, and almost sounds like her voice is due to her lack of strength. You know when you are very sick or weak, our voices are softer.

Enjoy the morning with precious Tink and do wish I was closer to help you. Warmly, Deborah

Thanks everyone for your concern for me. My surgery is next Tuesday at 7:15ish am. I'm looking forward to it. A couple days of tough pain and then a few weeks of not so much fun pain and then just healing pain. But after I heal, there will be no more pain from that corner!

BUT the GRAND news is that Tink got to come to visit ME today! Peter brought her over to my apartment at 5:00 and I got to keep her until 8:00. Then he came and took her back. It was marvelous, absolutely wonderful, and utterly delightful! I am soooooo happy I can hardly even tell you. She was so excited to be home - I wish I had thot to ask Peter to try to get a video. She was moving her little front legs and trying to thrust her body toward me. Peter was laughing - he said he wasnt one bit suprised. " I cease to be amazed by this little girl" is what he said.

She was making a little noise like a squeaky toy - I don't know what happened to her voice.:confused:

I fed her from my hand and she ate it all! Then I sat in my rocker and held her and she went to sleep for about 40 minutes. I couldn't hold her the whole time so I put her in her bed for part of the time. She seemed perfectly comfortable.

Yay Tinkerbelle!~ My little furbaby. I think she's gonna make it.

Hi, I'm home. Tink was a little sick today. She was vomiting her food and had a little ooshy poo. Barb said "Oh no, I made Tink sick!" But her husband said no, Tink was just worn out and still trying to get better. "Setbacks are to be expected."

So, I didn't try to put her new nightie on her before I left. She was just all limp and kind of whiney. Making that little squeeky toy noise. She didn't want to be held or petted. So, I just put my hand on her little tush and sat next to her. She slept most of the time I was at Barb's. i didn't stay long since she didn't feel well. It's really nice of Barb and Peter to let me come every day but I don't want to wear out my welcome either. Peter is going to bring Tink over tomorrow morning on his way to the airport and I get to keep her all morning. I hope I will be OK with her. I tried today to see if I can pick her up and gether onto my lap in the wheelchair. I did it, but I used a blanket to help cause I didn't want to hurt her. It worked really well.

So, that was the day of Tink and Susie.;) I love my little Tinkerbrat!:)

We're so glad you like the new nightie. When Judy contacted me and said Tink needed a froggie nightie, I knew I had just the fabric for it!! Sorry to hear Tink wasn't feeling well yesterday. I hope being home today with you perks her up. Such a long journey, but it will be a wonderful outcome!!! Still sending prayers and hugs.

I have a Tinkerbelle at my house! I get to have her 'til 1:30 and then Barb will come pick her up (she's well now).

Peter dropped her off at 8:00. Just wanted to let you know. I have to go hold her now because...because I want to!:D

Susie, I am so happy that the Yorkie Talk prayers have been answered and you came thorugh your knee replacement surgery well and to hear that Tinkerbelle is doing so fantastic, well that just brings tears to my eyes. You are two very special individuals.

Tink is such a brave strong girl - and such an inspiration!
