Yeah, Stumbalina da Cancer Time Bomb. Dat are what my momma had da odd-ass-ity to call me today. What da woof?? Dat are even worse dan Ally callin me "Whitty Whitty Woo Woo."
I guess I needs to explain. Da Stumbalina part are cuz I are back to stumblin round. Which are GOOD news, since I are puttin some weight on my bad leg and not havin to be held up to do my bizness anymores. Dat wuz embarassin, so I'm glad we's done wif dat. But I are still stumblin round. Sometimes I drag my leg, sometimes I just walk like I's had bout 5 too many margaritas (as if dere wuz such a thing).
Now, for da Cancer Time Bomb. Before y'all get too worried, I DON'T have cancer. Well, probably not. But da results from my cancer screenin came back and dey wuz not eggsactly good. My systematic inflammayshun tested as high (and nope, da vet said it wuzn't cuz of my leg, it are systematic inflammayshun, not local). And my cancer risk assessment are elevated - cuz of da inflammayshuns and abnormal cellular divishuns. So yeah, not good news. It wuzn't terribull, but I is at an increased risk of gettin cancer. Well, at 13, I's pretty much at an increased risk of everything.
I did get to wear da udder side of my Día de los Muertos dress today, so dere wuz some funs.
And I got compliments on it from da vet tech!
Dis side also has got cool skull buttons on it.
Den me and momma spent a couple hours outside. I had a better time dan her, she got stung by a wasp! And man did she yell bout it.
But even she had somefin good happen today - Blue Bell ice cream are back!! So she and Finley's momma rushed out to da grocery store and dey had ice cream for breakfast - Breakfast of Champions, BOL!
Dey got 4 cartons (dat wuz da limit at da store). And I saw homemade vanilla and buttered pecan, so maybe I'll be gettin my Blue Bell soon. After all, my Gotcha Day are comin up, hint hint momma.
Oh Whitley, we are sorry your test results came back not so good. We are glad that you are feeling better though! The Blue Bell ice cream news is GREAT!! We can tell your mom enjoys it!! Hope you get a taste!!
ReplyDeleteYeah, Blue Bell are Texan for ice cream and we had to go wifout it all summer. Da only ice cream we had dis summer wuz homemade - we's got Blue Bell loyalty, BOL! It are da best.
DeleteOh gosh sorry to hear all that!
ReplyDeleteHoly crap Texas got blue bell back?? Must go to Texas....
Yeah, Houston and Austin got it furst. Da metroplex just got it today, we wuz Stage 2.
DeleteMom's last sheltie girl lived to be 18 years old and had cancer 4 times - it was all in the attitude Mom said - she wouldn't give up and we knows you are the same :)
ReplyDeleteWow, 18 are pretty impressive!

Yeah, dey don't got Blue Bell in California. Y'all are depraved. Or errr, deprived, dat are what I meant. But a lack of Blue Bell dis summer made my momma depraved, so maybe I wuz right da furst time.
DeleteI'd go wif an all-da-way full margarita glass, but it wouldn't stay dat way for long.
I think she should have gotten 6 cartons just for being so very beautiful! I will keep you in my thoughts with the leg, that's not fun. But the dress with the skull buttons was WAY cool!
ReplyDeleteAbby Lab
Fanks! But if ya keep complimentin my momma, she are gonna keep showin off her selfies on MY blog, BOL BOL!
DeleteOMD:(
ReplyDeleteI sure hope and pawray that your 'flammatory issues simmer down so you do not get any of that cursed C. Those skulls on your dress should scare it away,BOL!!
That sounds like a yummy kind of breakfast, Mmmm. Nevfur heard of that kind, though her we have Blue Bunny BOL! Maybe I can snag some to chase??
Yeah, Blue Bell are a Texas ice cream, but it has expanded a lot throughout da south. It are really good - still a full half gallon and not whipped full of air.
DeleteWhitley, paws crossed for you to celebrate many, many mor birthdays/gotcha days with your Mom! And you most certainly deserve some icecream...amybe even a lot of ice-cream!
ReplyDeleteInteresting that the only other ice cream company besides BlueBell that had listeria, or whatever it was, is a Columbus-based artisanal ice cream called "Jeni's Splendid Ice Cream". And it is indeed splendid! Can buy it by the cone but not by the pint yet. when it returns, your Mom and you really oughta try it. It's way worth the high price!
We's thinkin' industree-all espeeonage! Maybe dey got Jeni's, too... we's thinkin' Dreyer's...
DeleteIf momma ever sees it, she are gonna try it. She luvs her some ice scream!
DeleteAnd yeah, we wondered bout da sabotage too Finley - speshully since Blue Bell has been expandin lately.
Well we will keep our paws crossed that the nasty C stays away from you Whitley
ReplyDeletemmmm IceCream sounds pretty good right now

DeleteMom says there are a lot of unknowns out there and so we gotta live each day like it may be our last - and if there is one gal we know who lives it up each day, it's you Miss Whitley!
ReplyDeleteWe LOVE your dress - those sugar skulls on it are PAWSOME!!
BIG licks,

Yup, dat are pretty much me and momma's opinion too. Make everyday as fun as ya can!
DeleteHi Whitley
ReplyDeleteYou just keep on stumbling around and doing what you can and enjoy wearing pretty dresses and helping your mom eat ice-cream, and don't think too much about any test results. Gail says she thinks Butter Pecan ice-cream cures most things anyway.
Toodle pip!
Bertie.
I are pretty sure Gail are right on dat one.
DeleteYikes cancer you betta stay away! Hope your legs get stronger gal!
ReplyDeleteHugs,
Bowie
Fanks Bowie!
DeleteI cross my paws that the big c stays away from you and I hope with some of that ice cream your legs gets stronger and stronger efurryday. Great that your mom bought as much as pawsible from that tasty stuff! My momma loaded her cart with her beloved ice cream too because it was on offer... the salespawsaon said it is not allowed to buy for commercial reasons at retail stores and my momma had to put 87 jars back to the cooling area. butt she was nice and said nothing as my mom came back again to buy the next allowed limit :o)
ReplyDeleteBOL! I guess your momma luvs ice scream as much as mine!
DeleteIce cream for breakie is the perfect meal to start your day off on the right foot or paw! We hope you get some too! We hope you never get cancer, Whitley.
ReplyDeleteYeah, ice scream are da best!
DeleteGlad to hear your leg is getting better butts not so pleased to hear about the other thingy! You take very good care of yourselfs Whitley and I prescribe lots and lots of that icey cream stuffs, sounds the pawfect medicines to me!
ReplyDeleteLoves and licky kisses
Princess Leah xxx
Me too!
DeleteThe problem with getting old is you get everything1 We are sending POTP that the bad things stay away from you as long as possible. Enjoy your ice cream (we are sure it is a cure).
ReplyDeleteYeah, I are pretty sure it are magic.
DeleteListeria ~ well I hope when Blue Bell came back they left the listeria behind. I will put my Cincinnati Graeter's Ice Cream up against your Blue Bell anytime. Graeter's does the French Pot Ice Cream. I feel sad that you have the systemic inflammation but that old arthritis can make it high. Maybe you just be friends with Arthur.
ReplyDeleteThanks for being a friend
Sweet Willam The Scot
I are pretty sure da listeria wuz industrial sabamotage - I are blamin Dreyer's.
DeleteI'm sorry your leg's bothering you, Whitley. I am sending lots of good vibes your way in hopes that Cancer stays away. Your new dress is beautiful. How many dresses do you have? *ear licks* Noodle
ReplyDeleteI dunno, I gots tons!
DeleteGlads your leg is gettin' better and you are right, gettin' old, you get everything!!! Enjoys you some ice scream!!!
ReplyDelete~Higgins
I shure will!
DeleteWe are glad you are able to start getting around a little bit. We bet your mama sure worries about you cuz that's what mama's do when we pups get old. So maybe she should share some of that ice cream with you if you promise not to spill it on that beautiful dress. And seriously, we really do want to see your closet!
ReplyDeleteYour Pals,
Murphy & Stanley
Believe me, I'd never waste ice scream by spillin it, BOL!
DeleteI sure hope she shares some Blue Bell with you!! That's a state institution.
ReplyDeleteYup, it shure are!
DeleteGlad your leg seems to be getting better. Hope things remain this way!
ReplyDeleteFanks!
DeleteI understand how stumblin' around is good...when Gibson was rehabbing for his bad leg and weak hind end, seeing him stumble a bit but on his own was a good sign! Keep strong, Whitley! And NO "C" bombs. Love the dress! The coolest!
ReplyDeleteFanks! Momma wishes I wuz walkin good, but stumbling are definitely better dan not movin at all!
DeleteI am glad that you are putting some weight on your leg. If you see any cancer, bite it in the butt! Did I hear buttered pecan Blue Bell? *Drool...Swoon...Faint ♥
ReplyDeleteYup, it are in our freezer - hopefully I'll get some for my Gotcha Day!
