‘FAMOUS SHAMUS’ UPDATE
Shamus is going to the Rainbow Bridge on Monday, Sept. 28.  Please say prayers and send good thoughts for all.
 
7/29/09 Sham does not know the words, ‘give up’, he is still enjoying life, belly rubs, going ‘bye - bye’, and treats to even think about ‘throwing in the towel”. Plus, who would keep Buck in line by ‘dominating’ him several times a day?:) Sham has now mastered the ramp, too! Shamus just LOVES life still. He is on 4 pain pills a day to make sure he is not in pain.    
 
6/15/09 We have built Sham a ramp over our 3 steps from our porch to the ground.
He is a tad afraid of it, but he is USING it.. He is still the MOST loving dog we’ve ever seen.

Shamus says ‘WOOF’  (dog talk for Hello).  He is doing great & is still a very happy, well loved, old gent.
He does have a very large fatty tumor on his spine.  When the vet biopsied it was fatty fluid with some muscle cells. He is having a difficult time getting up our 3 outdoor steps. We’re keeping a close eye on it..
 
Update 6/19/09 ~ The tumor is about the size of a softball right now…….it is bothering him, too. The time may be nearing the end for Sweet Boy Sham Sham. 
 
Please keep those prayers and good thoughts coming for Sham Sham.

Another Shamus *UPDATE* 04/22/08

Shamus is doing better, but he did go back for a recheck.  His eye is about the same, no worse.  Now, we are using drops instead of the gel, it’s easier him.  Shammy also got a steriod shot.  Dr. Cook, a wonderful Vet with Cicero Vet Clinic said his heart sounded GREAT!  THAT is awesome news.

____________________________________________________________

Shamus had to go to the Vet today, NOT one of his favorite things to do.  Being blind he smells all the other animals but, cannot see them.

Shammy has an eye infection.  It appears to be painful for him, too.  He is on antibiotics and has antibiotic and steroid eye meds.

We’re not sure what the cause is, it can be something as simple as an infection in general or a mass behind the eyeball itself.  We will be taking Shammy back to the Vets in 1 week, so please say prayers and keep good thoughts for Shamus.

Thank you.

I realize when I go out into the community, and people ask how Shamus is, and even ask if he is still alive, that it is PAST time for me to update on this baby boy.  YES, he is STILL thriving and very spoiled.  He wants to touch someone ALL the time or he is now whining…..  you might think he should be happy to be alive, well he definitely is, but he LOVES attention, too, WHO DOESN’T???  Here’s a recent pic of LOLIN’s boy ~
