Re: PeeWees Great Adventures, Pee's New Friend!!!

[FranktheTank]

Sadly I did not receive good news...I'm trying really hard to stay positive, but I'm lacking. Mostly due to being incredibly exhausted from the cancer in my right breast, and now straight in to dealing with thyroid cancer on top of the endometrial cancer and stage 4 endometriosis. I can't catch a break here.. :roll: Oh well must forge ahead..I have a procedure on Monday morning to look down in to my esophagus and test the lymphnodes around my thyroid. I will continue to update as much as possible, but when I have any free time I'd like to get rest. Of course Pees is right by my side, literally right now he's snuggled in to my hip. He and Chloe have been spending a lot of time playing and snuggling together. It's pretty cute. She only gets upset with him when he kisses her in the face, she'll swat at him and he gets the point. Sunny seems to know I'm not doing well because she goes crazy in her cage until I come in and take her out to snuggle for hours at a time. All she wants is to lay on my tummy, or wrapped around my neck. Every so often she gives me little kisses as she lies there it's really sweet. Frank is still Frank, which I love!! Walter has always been mr snuggles when it comes to me, he likes when I scratch his back and massage his big neck! I definitely feel PeeWee is most sensitive to how I'm feeling and in tune with me. If I'm feeling energetic he's all about running all over the house and being playful, but when I need rest he'll lay and snuggle for hours with me. I love his chubby thunder thighs hahahaha My babies keep me sane and focused. I know I have to keep pushing each day so they will be taken care of. They give me something to look forward to and put my mind in to. Well I am suddenly tired and need to rest..I'll be in touch hopefully with some new pictures again soon. Thank you for all the support and prayers, please keep em coming! :lol: :mrgreen:

Awww, Kaleen, I'm sorry for the bad news, but hopefully they don't find the lymph nodes are affected, which would be great. HEALING HUGS AND PRAYERS DAILY FOR YOU :love5: And it's great that your babies know what's going on with you instinctively and snuggle for play depending on how you're felling. Sunny knows where your cancer is and she's lying on it trying to heal it up for you. What a wonderful thing they do for you! You rest up as much as you need to, and don't worry about getting pictures up here, I can visualize your babies with you, even Walter.

Take really good care of yourself and give us an update as you can, k? Only positive thoughts allowed, even if that's really difficult, it will help you.
Love you and want you to do what you need to do to get better,
Deb and my crew

I am beyond sorry for the bad news. Enough is enough already! Why can't you get some great medical news for a change? It's so unfair

Thank god you have your ultra sweet babies to snuggle up with. I know when I get a Pookie hug, it takes away all of the stress from my body and just makes me happy to be alive.

Like Deb said, don't worry about posting pics. Focus on taking the rest that you need and taking care of your babies. If you get to pop in here once a week just to let us know that you're still kicking and screaming, it'll be sufficient.

 

[FranktheTank]

Thank you ladies! Yes Deb only positive thoughts, no matter what!! And Gina I am still kicking and screaming :headbang: :wave:
We had to reschedule the procedure because I have an infection. As soon as I'm off the antibiotics and the infection is cleared up we will do the lymph node test. Right now I am taking everything in my life day to day. The only plans I'm making are for the wedding!!

-Kaleen

 

[sweetiepie9]

Yes, wedding plans, getting closer and closer. Good luck with the testing, rest up as much as you can, as if you're not! And play with your babies, as they will always make you feel better :love5:

And day to day is how I run my life, I hardly look ahead more than a month, it's the only way to stay sane!

Take care!
Deb

Well I had a great day with Jeffrey and the babies. Not only did we play with all of them one on one for several hours, but we also decided to give everyone a turn in the kiddie pool outside in the backyard! I was most nervous about how Sunny would react, as the last time I took her outside I almost lost her. She freaked out at a bird and got away from me..She's never been outside since because as soon as we get close to the door she flips out beardie style! Well she actually enjoyed herself for a good 45minutes. Frank was okay too, he stayed in one spot and kept a closeful watch on the scary skies above :lol: :roll: Miss Chloe absolutely loved every second of it and was outside in the sunshine the longest. She actually swam around and played in the water, and was not at all afraid. The biggest surprise however came from little Pees! I have never seen him black beard or beard at all for that matter. He's been outside a few times and always seemed to enjoy it, nothing ever bothers him and he believes he's the king of the world. Well Mr. Pees was a little startled at first and poofing up somewhat, but was finally calming down when "it" happened. All of a sudden a plane flew overhead and Mr. Pees poofed up and pushed out his big scary beard with all his might at the giant scary bird (plane) overhead. I was in such shock I had to take pictures and have spent all night uploading them so you could see it too! He even opened his mouth and had his little tongue out too! So enough of my talking I'll let you ooooh and awww at PeeWee the tough guy...


What I love the most is his beard isn't even black, it's just pushed out. It almost looks like he's just trying to smile really big or something! Awww I love my Pees...

 

[sweetiepie9]

Sounds like you all had a great day & check out that PeeWee beard, so colourful and not black. Guess he told that plane a thing or two :lol:

 

[beardie parents]

I can see a bit of black, probably some of what's called stress marks on his chin. Squirt gets those marks under her colorful chin when she's outside. She doesn't always like outside very well but Rosie's helped her to get used to outside so it's not as bad as it was. I usually keep squirt on my shoulder when we take her outside until she's used to it and ready to go wandering.

 

[Goonie]

How weird that Sunny was ok with being outside but PeeWee wasn't.

:love5: at PeeWee's big scary beard.
I love how his beard colorings are like the sun's rays shining.

 

[FranktheTank]

Hope everyone is doing well and getting plenty of beardie kisses and snuggles!! Times have been difficult for me as I feel like I'm fighting an uphill battle most days. I am the luckiest woman in the world to have the most amazing, loving fiance. On Friday afternoon he came home from getting feeders and surprised me with a new baby!! That's right we have a new family member. His name is Charlie and he's an albino Pac Man Frog! Charlie is slightly larger than a quarter right now, so he's a baby. For now he's living in a large critter keeper, and in a few months we will move him to a 10 gallon. He's an aggressive eater which is awesome, but he allows me to pet him without getting defensive. I love feeding him, he gets fed at night time 2-3 medium crickets. I tong feed him because it's awesome and I want to make sure he is eating and there's not any crickets loose in his cage. His eyes are my favorite part about him, when they are closed they disappear down in to his head and then pop up like pop up head lights on a car when he opens them!! I've always had a thing for Pac Man frogs, but do not care for any other type of frog, they creep me out. Charlie was a great surprise and a very sweet gift from my Jeffrey!!
Meet Charlie


He's super awesome and I love him already!! I'll try to get a feeding video soon and post it..

-Kaleen

 

[beardie parents]

He looks adorable! We would love to see the video

 

[sweetiepie9]

Awww, what a cute frog and you're already enjoying him. I think they're awesome, too. A friend of mine has one, but he's rarely seen, he's an adult & likes to stay in his substrate most of the time.

I'm sorry it's an uphill battle for you. It must feel awful at times, always tiring, but we love you Kaleen :love5: and hope sending you positive powerful healing wishes will help. So I'm sending a huge bunch and hope they get to you soon.

Welcome Charlie, you're in a wonderful home
Deb and my crew

 

[Goonie]

Charlie! You are one lucky baby frog.

 

[beardie parents]

Hi Kayleen. I hope you are doing better, health wise. I wish your PeeWee a happy 15 month birthday today. It seems like just a few weeks ago that we first got our Lil Squirt and in just over one month it will be one year for us with her. She hasn't grown like I expected her to but she's precious to us.
