I always enjoy pics of your two, thanks for posting. Still saying prayers and sending hugs for Carlo.

Actually, that is Steve's collar. He put it on Carlo for the picture.

I am glad to hear Carlo is tolerating the new medicine. Love the pictures. Where is the peacock from? I have never seen them around here?

No, it is Carlo's, as he does not like to share. I have my own that he is not allowed to touch! Marge is quite good at jerking it!

They live right across the street from us. Out neighbo has 5 acres and the peacocks are grandfathered in as he has had them for years. He has around 7 adult birds and 4 chicks. They are very loud during mating season, and stroll the neighborhood. If I leave my garage door open, they sometimes will wonder in and leave a present! They also can fly up onto the trees. Its nice having them. Fives the block a bit of novelty.

That is so cool.

I am sorry to hear the news about Carlo. It sounds like he still has a lot of fight in him.

Cute pics of Maxine, Carlo and your peacock neighbor.

Deuce · 11-15-2010, 09:24 AM

I'm so sorry about Carlo, but great news about him tolerating the meds, he sounds like a fighter

Steve,
When I lived on 8 acres outside San Antonio the neighbor across the street had peacocks. They had an all white one that was a huge pain in my butt. He would stand in the middle of the road and NOT MOVE, even if I gave a little courtesy honk!
I was working downtown in an emergency room and my shift started at 6am so I had to leave the house at 4:45 to get there on time. I would walk out side and literally run to my truck because when the peacocks heard me they would make the creepiest noise, it sounded like a ghost child saying :heeelllppp meeee" My heart would start racing and I really thought we lived near kidnappers. That is until I figured out it was those darned peacocks!
I hope you and the Biggun are staying warn this morning. It is a little chilly here in South Texas. My hubby had the chance to go after some exotics last week and took a very nice Black Buck totally free of charge. I know you are busy but I wanted to extend an invite for any day this week. I understand you are very busy with much more important things. I'll email you a few pics from my computer at home this evening.
I am always thinking of you and Carlo and your ladies as well. I hope you are having a great week. Happy be-lated Veterans Day.
Meg

Thanks Meg. You sure are on target on the noise they make. It does indeed sound like Helppppppmeeeee. Here, the makes are blueish, and the females are whiteish. How such small headed birds can make so much noise is amazing. The first few weeks here after moving in, I was about ready to shoot them, but have gotten use to them. We hactually had one neighbor that gor a lawyer and tried to get the Peacocks out of the neighboorhood. The other 56 homeowners baned together and hired an Attorney to fight the disgruntled neighbor. We won, the Peacocks are grandfathered, and the Peacock hater moved a year later! We are a Peacock loving bunch! LOL. The Coyotes will occasionally get one, but the chicks make up for an occasional adult loss. They also have a house that they stay in when it is cold, well, more like a House/Stable.

Would love to get down there for a Deer or Hog, and do appreciate the offer, but as you said, now is not the time with Marge's traveling for work, and the dogs, especially Carlo now.

Would love to see the pics of what your husband took. Thank you so much for the kind words.

I am just reading this. So sorry to hear about this diagnosis, but like everyone else has said he has alot of fight left in him. Prayers and good wishes for him and your family.

Rachael x · 11-17-2010, 09:54 AM

I too with light a candle for Carlo

and hope he responds well to treatment.
Im sure he has alot of fight left in him yet, prayers to Carlo, you and all of your family.

jencar98 · 11-17-2010, 10:27 AM

It's good to know Carlo is tolerating the new meds, prayers this will work for him.

My gosh Steve....even sick, Carlo is a magnificent looking dog! And Maxine, well she is adorable as always♥

Love peacocks...even if the noise can be too much. You all are good neighbors to stand up for the owner.

yorkieusa · 11-17-2010, 11:33 AM

Love the pics. They are both beautiful - yes - even Carlo!

shodanusmc · 11-17-2010, 11:42 AM

Thank you. Still doing real well. He is on his 3rd day of taking the new Steroid called Triamcinolone and seems to be tolerating better than the Prednisone, and next week it gets cut back 50%. The Lomustine Chemo Drug was taken 1 week ago today, still, no ill effects. He gets another 100mg of it in 2 more weeks. Tomorrow he goes in to his regular vet for a Blood Panel and Check up and the results will be forwarded to the specialist. We are hoping this RESCUE ATTEMPT works to keep him around a while longer. I am getting ready to take him for a 2 mile walk as it looks like it is going to rain here. Before you know it, it will be snowing. Maxine is still putting him in his place, and is not showing any sympathy. She is one tough little 7 pounder! If she was as large as Carlo, not sure if we could handle her! LOL Have a great day and thanks for the good thoughts on the big goofball.
