Well, that title is a bit misleading. There was never anything wrong with our laptop. We were just "lap-topless" because our humans left us. We spent the weekend at the spa, a.k.a. the vet's kennel. Thunder was already there because of his surgery. Ciara and Phantom camped out together on Thursday, and TD was allowed to rejoin them on Friday.
The humans flew off to Las Vegas and had a wonderful time losing money, eating delicious food, doing some CSI investigations, and enjoying both a David Copperfield performance AND The Jersey Boys. They met our human brother and sister-in-law there where they all celebrated the California couple's 12th wedding anniversary. At the end of the magic show, our human brother became part of the show and Mr. Copperfield actually made him disappear!!! TD is wondering how that works - he would like to send Ciara to become part of that show:)
Here she is, once again keeping watch over her big brother.
Heck, I am not keeping watch over him. I am trying to get him to play.
May as well rest here for a bit. Eyes getting heavy.
ZZZZZZZZZzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz.

A quick update on TD's report. All is well. The pathology lab report confirmed that the collie-flower was NOT a wart and stated that it was a sebaceous nodular hyperplasia with polyp formation. It was benign (YAY) and was completely excised(YAY YAY). It is evidently a common, focal or multicentric, non neoplastic lesion most often found on older dogs. (TD will be five in April, though not exactly an older dog.) There should be no further concern for it. Now that we know exactly what it was, here is a better photo that Mom found online. This is exactly what TD's collie-flower looked like.
Needless to say, we are all very relieved for the good report.
And now today we are very excited because we have a blizzard on the way tomorrow. We are excited for the snow although we know that this storm is being forecast as a very dangerous storm for a good part of the country. We hope that we can get some good snow with no serious problems for us or for anyone across the country. In anticipation of the fun to come, here is how we are spending our time tonight.
Woos ~ Phantom, Thunder, and Ciara
YAY for THUNDER!!! What a nice welcome home gift for your two-leggers. I'm glad they had a good time and that you were all able to be together at the vet-hotel.
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your snow tomorrow!!!!! (We're just getting ice... BOO!)
Wags,
Zona
Davd Coopeerfield?? Wow! My mom loves him! Glad they all had great time there in Vegas!
ReplyDeleteAaaand I am very happy to know the collie-flower was nothing serious! The name sure sounds scary but thankfully not bad.
We are going to have cold weather too! The weatherman was talking about temps that I have never experienced in my whole life! Brrrrr....
Take care
Kisses and hugs

OoH such wunderful news 'bouts our furiend Thunder! Stay safe and warm durin' da blizzard, but have fun too.:)
ReplyDeleteWoofs and Licks,
Maggie Mae
I fear that at this point there is no such thing as good snow at the estate anymore. Hooray for TD. My Grandpa Angus had those, but not until he was much older than TD. Maybe Ciara has caused him to age prematurely.
ReplyDeleteMy humans saw that David Copperfield guy many years ago and say he is most amazing.
Slobbers,
Mango
What an incredibly cute series of photos. And, TD, that wasn't a very nice thing to say about your sister who obviously adores you!
ReplyDeleteI'm so happy that TD's "collie flower" isn't a long term worry and that he's bounced back nice and fast! Great news!
Now, you three Sibes - you shouldn't make it sound as if the only aspect of your humans that you love is their laptop!
We're all doing a happy dance for TD. That was an ugly looking thing in your ear, glad it's gone.
ReplyDeleteWe're right on the line between 6-8 inches of snow or ice. We all vote for snow.
We think Ciara loves her big brother.
Morgan, Tsar and the Porties
Sounds like fun was had by all! I love the pic of Thunder and Ciara snoozing on the couch. And YAY is right on the good diagnosis!
ReplyDeleteWOW, Las Vegas! That must have been fun... I haven't been there in years.That is great news from the VET. Everyone must be so happy...Good news. YEAH Thunder!!! (FYI: I had dog named Lightning when I was a young girl!) That would be cute for names, Thunder and Lightning...LOL
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blizzard.We are getting another 20 inches in the next two days. We have so much snow on the roof that it is leaking in the house and we can't get the snow off. Oh Well...
xxoo
Deborah
We're so glad Thunder got a clean bill of health! Ciara may be pesky but she sure is dang cute! We think it's pretty cool that your human brother got to be disappeared by David Copperfield in Las Vegas!
ReplyDeleteYAY YAY YAY!!! That is such good news about Thunder, I am so relieved to hear it! :)
ReplyDeleteHip Hip Hoooooray fur Thunder!!! I was RIGHT!!!
ReplyDeleteYay fur good news! And rilly, you can has the WHOLE storm. I do not think anybuddy else would mind.
ReplyDeleteWe are so happy for Thunder!!! Such good news! Also, happy your parents had fun on their weekend getaway.
ReplyDeleteThe storm is supposed to hit us tomorrow night. I am not a huge fan of the snow, but Mama is excited because she is hoping to get the day off work on Wednesday!
Your pal, Pip
Good reports for Thunder and the mommas and the poppas are home...Great news. Our cousin Kyle was Davids assistant many years ago. Hope it was fun
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Hehe - those pics are really sweet. Poor TD, loved to death by his sissy. We have a similar drama that occurs here on a daily basis.
ReplyDeleteI'm very glad to hear about TD's little buddies being benign (tongue twister!) and that there's no cause to worry :)
Finally, we are finally getting some wintry weather!! It'll probably be more sleet than fun snow, but the kiddo is feeling icky so I'll be home tomorrow - too bad for me ;)
Definitely checking out Walgreens when I get a chance - that stuffie is too cute to pass up.
How fun tha you got to go to Vegas! I have never been there but it is on my wish list!!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear that Thunder's growth was benign! That is great! The picture looks like chewed up bubble gum:)
Hope everyone stays safe in the storm!
Its really cold here tonight and the weather guy said 50-60 mph winds. Since I saw that, I have been looking for it in other places and cannot find it but 40-50 mph is fairly common for us. This sounds like a bad one!
ReplyDeleteI think Thunder would be lost without his little Troublemaker Sister and I am so happy all is well with his ear!
Kisses,
Stella
The pictures are terrific!!! You always look so very CLEAN!!! BRIGHT white!!! We are all very relieved to hear that Thunder made out ok at the vet. We are thrilled!!! Vegas is SOOOO much fun!! Hope somebody won money! Always wanted to see the Jersey Boys...but haven't yet. Stay safe and warm in the storm...we have Winter Storm warnings up here too!! xoxo Chloe, LadyBug, and the mama
ReplyDeleteSuch great news about TD! Obviously Ciara is thrilled! Also glad the humans go to get away for a few days and laugh -- that's good for everyone. Our mom is still on jerky doody so we haven't gotten to do anything fun. Boo Hoo :(
ReplyDeleteEnjoy your blizzard tomorrow. We hope to see some snow pictures!
-Gizmo, Bart and Ruby
Ciara, I can't believe he'd really try to make you disappear! It sounds like your humans had a pretty good trip, but it's always good to be home together again!
ReplyDeleteBunny

We are so glad that Thunder is A-OK and that there is no reason for further concern.
ReplyDeleteA spa weekend sounds like a time for treats and pampering while the folks were in Las Vegas buying you souvenirs!
We just love the way your pack cares for each other; you are our inspiration!
Glad to hear all is good with TD's ear!!
ReplyDeleteWonder if David Copperfield could
make thing reappear..all my treats have
been missing lately..!
Here's hoping the blizzard won't
do any damage to anything or
anyone!! ;)
Cheers,
Maxx

ReplyDeleteGood news for TD!! Bet that made you feel good. :)
ReplyDeleteI'm pretty sure if it came down to Zappa and Brut, one of them would like to see the other disappear!!

You can send Ciara here to make her disappear, and then we will send Teka to David Copperfield?
ReplyDeleteShe is smaller, she would be easier to disappear.
Glad the collie flower was B-9

How lovely of Ciara to care so nicely for her brother. I can see how tiring that can be :) Hope you don't get too much snow, that might make you disapear more than David Copperfield could :) Stay warm xx
ReplyDeleteSo it wasn't you guys at my hosue creeping around..so it must have been a wolf for sure. It sounds like the humans had lots of fun in Las Vegas. I hope you bundle up for the snow warning, I am getting one too.

ReplyDeleteTD, I am soooooo glad your collie-flower was nothing to worry about. I'd sure like to see the rest of this year go by without any v-e-t visits for my Sibe friends...except for well-checks, of course.
