Group shot - just hanging together on the deck.
Tummy time with Ciara
Is this a better view?
Look, TD wants to show his tummy too.
No, I didn't - that flashy beast was just intruding on my nap.
OK, here's a bonus for my readers - this is a much better shot of me.
Phantom says, "This is all you are going to get of my tummy. I am much more reserved than my other packmates."
How about a play bow instead?
Thanks to everyone for all the good wishes for me. I was feeling better last week, but then I had another rough weekend with the sickies.
The vet has extended my special diet indefinitely and put me back on that horridly bitter medicine again.
I know I need to eat, but I really don't always want to eat. The vet is concerned that I am getting too thin. He said I need to eat in order to fight the sickies.
(Note from Mom - I included the above photo so you can see how thin our poor boy is.)
Thanks again to all of you for your pawsitive thoughts for me. I promise to try to feel better.
Don't worry - I am taking good care of my big brother.
Have a great day!!!

Poor Phantom! He does look like he's getting thin. Hopefully he'll start eating more soon and will be able to gain some weight back! Chloe lost a lot of weight during her whole surgery ordeal (she was overweight to start with and now is down to a normal weight), and it was hard to get her to eat too.
ReplyDeleteAs for TD and Ciara...they have a twin in Virginia...Riley has been sleeping on her back like them all morning long! I read somewhere that it means a dog is comfortable in their surroundings and also that they may be doing it to keep cool since there is less fur on their belly.
Anyway, I just wanted to thank you for always commenting on my blog even when I haven't had the chance to get around and visit you! I can always count on a comment from you and I love that, so thanks!! :)
Elyse and Riley
Frankie's Mom here... I have a dumb question to ask... can dogs have ENSURE??? Could Phantom???
ReplyDeleteDo they make something like that for dogs??? They SHOULD.
Frankie says to tell you that he LOVES the picture of the three at the top of the steps.
Woos pups, love all the tummy pics - aren't tuummy rubs the best? Paws crossed fur woo Phantom, we love ya, buddy!
ReplyDeletejack & moo
Yes, keep a good eye on big brother and maybe even coax him to eat more.
ReplyDeleteWhat a day for sibe belly shots! It was Wicked Wednesday over at Khyra's place, and here is the pack contributing some nice tummy shots.
ReplyDeleteWe are keeping appendages crossed here for Phantom, Poor Baby (and they are always babies, regardless of age.)
gusie and the muzzer.
You all looks so beautiful! Well, ok the guys look very handsome.
ReplyDeletePhantom I would share my food with you if you would eat it! I have my little paws crossed just for you!
woo woos, Tessa
Oh wow. That last picture could be blown up and hung over your fireplace! Phantom, I hope you get hungry again. Though you are as handsome as a model, you don't need to be model thin. Hope the sickies stay away!!! Thinking of you dude!
ReplyDeletePedro
kisses to Phantom! i loved all the pics but especially the first and last!!
ReplyDeletePoor Phantom - I am so sorry you are having bouts of the sickies. I went through almost of year of that before they found out what the problem was and also lost a lot of weight. Hang in there big guy - and keep trying to eat okay !
ReplyDeleteWe were waiting to hear about Plhantom and are crossing all our paws that he will eat a little better.
ReplyDeleteSuch lovely photos today!
Woofs,
Tommy
Phantom does look thin, you can see by his coat he is not well.
ReplyDeleteAll our paws are crossed for him to get well.
You guys look so prety, Pip still wants a coat like yours.
Licks Bobby.
hey Phantom,
ReplyDeleteMy paws are crossed that you get over your sickies soon. You are looking very thin, so I hope you start eating soon. I know it is hard and you don't want too, but we want you healthy again. Sorry you have to take that icky medicine. But, I bet if you ate and got better then you wouldn't need to take it! Get well soon!! Prayers are with you!
Ciara, you crack me up with your tummy shot! So cute! And Thunder, you and Phantom sure know when to bring out the tongues! :->
Suka
Group shots of your pack warm my heart almost as much as the sight of my fur-girls snuggling.
ReplyDeletePoor Phantom. You are too thin, and we're SO SORRY you have to take the icky medicine again, but paws crossed it makes you all better!
Very beautiful photos of everyone!! Phantom, that food you have is what Holly actually loves to eat!! Please please eat and get much better. Those pills that are bitter sound like some that we have had in the past.....eat with them and they won't be so bad! Our prayers are with you. Lots of love, Debbie and Holly
ReplyDeletePhantom, PLEASE try to eat a little for your mum. It stinks that your pills are bitter. You would think that with modern technology they could make those taste like a hot dog..Anyway..Go out and enjoy your pretty yard today!
ReplyDeleteKitty and Coco
Wait just a darn minute! I haves obviously missed sumptin...OMD, I didn't knows Phantom was feeling poorly again. Geez, where has I been? He is getting thin and dat hurts my heart but I knows da momster is taking real good care of him and is doin' everything possible.
ReplyDeleteBy da way, I likes da tongue shot...hehehe...it cracks me up!
We never has group shots. Well, Whitney don't likes to hang with us too much.
Lovin' da belly shots.
Puddles
LOVE the pictures! And you guys are some seriously good looking pups. Phantom, please eat more. I can see that you've become thinner too. Get better soon OK?
ReplyDeleteGreat shots! Phantom is in our thoughts and prayers....take care, dear friend....
ReplyDeleteTsar says that ID is pretty tasty and holding out for it was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteIsn't it a great day today. We've been playing outside all morning.
Morgan, Tsar and the Porties
We like seeing your cute tummies and adorable faces! Phantom, we hope you get over your sickies and feel like eating more soon! We eat too much so maybe we'll meet you in the middle and we'll all be eating what we should! Lots of love, kisses and prayers being sent your way!
ReplyDeleteWhat great pictures!
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to hear that Phantom is back on the icky medicine! Does he like the I/D???
What lovely photos, but I am sad about your tummy troubles, sweet boy! Isn't there some type of appetite stimulant for doggies? I am going to ask the vet next time I go because Gizzy always has been a very finicky eater and it's a struggle twice a day for me to force-feed him - he'd not eat for 2 days if I didn't make him, but I do!
ReplyDeletewhat a wonderful pack you all are!
ReplyDeletewe are sending p all of our love and lots of mini meatloaves!
xoxoxo
Phantom, we hope you feel better....get out and bask in that good weather, boy.
ReplyDeleteLove the tummy pictures.
xXXOOO Daisy, Kendra & Bella
We wish we could erase your tummy troubles, dear Phantom. We'd be glad to give you our last Frosty Paw if it meant that you would eat.
ReplyDeletePhantom sweet woofie you need to eat for the medicine to work. I know what you are going through and its not nice. Get well sweet woofie friend. I love that last picture of you all.. Hugs GJ xx

Big hug for Phantom. I hope he feels a little better and starts to eat a little more. Love all the belly pics, so cute.
ReplyDeletePhantom, you had better eat and bulk up. I would send you some of my fat if I could. My vet said I have some to spare from my spare tire.
ReplyDeleteRemy
Love those boys givin' the momster the razzberries!! We're keepin' our paws crossed for the Phantom!!
ReplyDeleteRottie Kisses!
Come on Phantom...you gotta eat! My sissy, April, was doin' all dat play bowin' (a lot of it) when her tummy was hurtin' last week.
ReplyDeleteCiara and TD....you is jus' gorgeous all da time!
Paws crossed for Phantom :-)
ReplyDeletePs How do you keep that carpit clean...
Oh I hope you find this special diet becomes more appetizing. You have to get big & fit for summertime!
ReplyDeleteSometimes I think it would be nice to have a pack.
Nubbin wiggles,
Oskar
TC and Ciara's pose remind of a a floofy floozy I know. I'm not going to mention any names, but I'll look over pawsylvania way and whistle at the X-Terra that chauffeurs her around!
ReplyDeletePhantom! Dog-gone-it! I love your play bow but you really need to eat! I'll be sending good thoughts that you all of a sudden get a hankering to eat everything in sight!
Love the group shot on the deck. A beautiful furry family.
ReplyDeleteAnd, Phantom, keep eating, our friend. Kodiak says it can be tough sometimes to have an appetite, but this is the one thing to listen to your humans about.
Hey Everyone!
ReplyDeleteWow, great pix as always. I love the twisted tummy pix. Phantom, I am sending you a great big bundle of my healing thoughts. Please eat even if it isn't your favorite...gotta be big and strong!

ReplyDeleteI, too, hope you get your appetite back soon! You need to keep up your strength to fight the sickies AND to keep up with Thunder and Ciara!
Wags,
Zona aka: Monkey
PeeS: Yes, my two-leggers call me Monkey - something to do with noises I make. Phoenix is also known as Pig or Piggy for similar reasons. Cali is... Bear - I'm sure you can guess why. :)
Oh Phantom, you do look thin ...but you are still just as handsome as ever and make my mom squeal every time she sees you. I have been on that I/D food many a time. It's not so bad - though I am sure the medicine is no fun!
ReplyDeleteSending you all my yorkie good cheer and good health!
Your pal, Pip
heeheehee! i love your tummy pics, ya'll! :)

We sure know how tough it is to take care of an older sibling. They don't make it easy, that's for sure!
ReplyDeleteBunny
We love all those furry belly shots. So cute! Take care of your big brother, looks like he needs some extra loving. Hope you feel better real soon Phantom. :)
ReplyDeletePhantom, we are so sorry you are having so many sickies. Has your mom tried vanilla ice cream with a little honey mixed in? Chicken & rice [human quality, not dog food with those flavors]? We're sure your vet must have checked for it, but inappropriate play bowing is one of Abby's symptoms when she has pancreatitis. So is not eating proper food and just eating grass. We have our paws crossed for you!
ReplyDeleteAnd TD, happy belated birthday! We're sorry we missed it and hope you had a wonderful day.
Jed & Abby
adorable! you guys like posing for the camera
ReplyDeleteBenny & Lily
Great pix! And we hope you get your appetite back, buddy... we don't like it when our friends don't eat properly!
ReplyDeleteB
Terrific tummy shots!
ReplyDeleteIt must be nice to have a deck where you can just chill!!
Oh Phantom! I wish i could give you some of my appetite which is going out of control and driving the momster nuts!! :(
Hope you feel lots and lots better soon!!
Have a great day too!!
Cheers,
Maxx
You guys sure have the furriest tummies!
ReplyDeleteOur paws are crossed for you, Phantom!
Love ya lots
Maggie and Mitch
We loved all the tummy shots. Fenris is drooling over Ciara's tummy shot.
ReplyDeletePhantom we were very impressed with your play bow. You have gotten thin though. We are sending healing purrs and lots of hugs and much love to you. We hope you feel better soon and start eating.
My K is just like Phantom. No way is anyone getting a photo of her tummy unless they are very stealthful about it!
ReplyDeleteI truly hope that Phantom starts feeling better soon. My heart is with him, rooting for his tummy to feel better so that he want to eat.
Paws are crossed here.
Phantom sending lots of pawsative thoughts that you are soon all mended and eating properly.

Pees - Phantom, please eat.

ReplyDeleteMaybe the meds will help Phantom. We're so sorry he doesn't want to eat. That has to make you nuts w/ worry for him.
Blessings from all of us in the holler...
Dearest Phantom, we send White Dog Army woos that you get over the sickies and start feeling better. Our positive energy will help food taste more appetizing so that you eat more and build up your strength. We also send comfort to your very worried momster.
