He acted like he couldn't hardly walk. It scared us. I examined him, and felt some kind of lump. His fur is so dense and black you can't see his skin under it, but he acted like he was hurting so we took him to the vet. It turned out that the lump I felt was a "dingleberry". It had felt like it was part of the flesh to me. I felt so dumb at the vet's then. But they were kind enough to trim him up nicely. The vet tech calls him Fuzzybutt.<br /><br />My little Fuzzy pom has esophagus problems, too. I have to be careful around him with anything that has fumes. He knows to run away if he sees me getting the Windex or hairspray out. Even Vick's vaporub fumes, and the smell of peppermint toothpaste make him cough terribly.<br /><br />I have found that with Fuzzy, if I gently rub and kind of pull up on the flesh over his spine along side of his shoulders and gently massage that area, it sort of relaxes some of the coughing spasms. Sometimes if I hear the coughing spasms starting soon enough, gently rubbing his cheeks and jaws seems to help. I know that his problem is getting worse and I know a visit to the vet for it is inevitable.<br /><br />I pray you have many more years with your little Miss Mele. From seeing your pics it seems that she makes the same kind of Pomeranian happy faces that Fuzzy does.<br /><br />Fuzzy has some degenerative disc problems in his upper back, just like I do. I wish he would learn to take it easy jumping up on the bed and chairs.<br /> <br />My husband and I watched the Marley movie a while back. It was a rough one to get through, but we couldn't stop watching until it ended. My husband's eyes welled up with tears. But I had a crying fit that gave me such a hot flash that I finally had to end up getting into a cool shower to cool off and settle down. The Marley story was even sadder than I remember Old Yeller being when I was little. Anyone watching Marley should have some anti-red eye drops on hand for those tear swollen eyes.susie @ persimmon moon cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01653330247272673990noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-15074643224922295502013-04-27T18:43:17.931-07:002013-04-27T18:43:17.931-07:00That was a sad book - I didn't read it or go s...That was a sad book - I didn't read it or go see the movie.

I'm glad Mele is better and I hope she continues to bring you years of joy. The hard thing with pets is we know they don't live as long as we'd like and saying goodbye is hard. You've had enough sadness to last forever and I'm so happy your family is so wonderful to you...just like you are to Mele. Have a good weekend.yayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12047536332780197024noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-15609708146673938332013-04-26T18:06:42.450-07:002013-04-26T18:06:42.450-07:00Thank you for sharing this post.

You both are much loved and I think that you have to get used to the fact that you mean the world to your family!!<br /><br />My Milo is 8 years old. My youngest daughter keeps saying he is old and that we don't have a lot of time with him. Hogwash! He may not act like a puppy all the time but he's fine and healthy. I know we will have him as long as it's meant to be. I've lost pets before and I certainly won't wait in dread of losing him...I'm embracing each day, each year.<br /><br />I could never read Marley And Me, nor see the movie, I get hysterical when something sad or bad happens to an animal! Lassie, Old Yeller...no, not for me! But I'm happy you had a few laughs! :)<br /><br />XO,<br />Jane<br /><br />XO,<br />JaneBlondie's Journalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12988377413260331618noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9081468613531112998.post-14300937735020785132013-04-26T06:07:30.000-07:002013-04-26T06:07:30.000-07:00Two grandgirls and I saw the movie..they had seen ...Two grandgirls and I saw the movie..they had seen it before and wanted me to see it, too. <br />I bawled my eyes out...and laughed, as you did.
