Added: 2026-05-05

[00:01:28][panting] Hey y'all. I'm just trying to wait to a few more people to come on.

[00:01:58]Hey, hey, hey. Thank you for all the your prayers, your thoughts and prayers.

[00:02:04]It's it's going to be a journey.

[00:02:09]So, um, today I took Blue to the vet as I said I would. And the vet seems to believe that Blue is suffering from dementia, dog dementia, and neurological issues.

[00:02:26]So, he has more tests and observations to be done.

[00:02:31]But, um, they did blood work, they did all the things today.

[00:02:37]And um they seem to believe that he has dog dementia and that's causing a lot of his fears and anxieties, blank stairs, um you know, him being disoriented at times.

[00:02:53]Um so yeah, they believe he has dog dementia and neurological issues.

[00:03:04]So, um, he has another appointment scheduled in two weeks to go back.

[00:03:11]Um, they took him off of his medication because they said, um, they want to see if his medication had something to do with his behavior change.

[00:03:23]Um, so he's not no longer on his meds, but they want us to continue with with um his CBD oil and treats.

[00:03:35]Um, so that's what I'm going to continue doing.

[00:03:43]So, this is all new to me. I never even knew that dogs could get dementia. You know what I'm saying?

[00:03:49]like I just that just never occurred to me.

[00:03:53]I've never heard of it, but I guess you learn something new every day.

[00:04:00]So, yeah, he has um neurological issues and dementia and so Oh, Blue, stop. Blue.

[00:04:15][laughter] >> Hi. How you doing? How are you?

[00:04:18]>> Good.

[00:04:19]>> Hey, >> come on, Blue.

[00:04:22]So, a he he he don't like too many people. That's okay. Come on, Blue. Keep what you want.

[00:04:31]>> Uh-huh. Blue.

[00:04:34]Blue.

[00:04:39]Come on. Just keep on with your walk.

[00:04:42]Just keep on with your walk.

[00:04:48]>> [sighs] >> But uh so um that's what we have so far. That's what I was told.

[00:04:59]Uh of course, Blue has to they also said that right now that Blue needs to remain calm um in quiet environments um and not around a lot of stimulation.

[00:05:16]And so that's what I I've been doing.

[00:05:20]you, as you can see, I'm taking him on a walk by himself cuz I just he just, you know, he just any little thing can stir him up see just how he just saw, you know, a man and he just kind of, you know, he kind of goes off and he gets fixated on a person.

[00:05:48]Um he won't let anybody um it was hard today at the vet because he he kind of wouldn't let the vet uh touch him or or the assistants. It it took a whole lot, you know. Uh they had to put a muzzle on him and they had to sedate him a little and uh Yeah.

[00:06:18]It's a lot, y'all. I'm exhausted.

[00:06:21]You know what I mean? If you ever went through this, you know how exhausting it can be.

[00:06:27]Just just the whole thing. So, keep me in your prayers. Me, Blue, our family, Barkley, Bama, all of us.

[00:06:39]Cuz having three dogs and a baby ain't no joke. Come on, Blue. Let's go on back home. Okay.

[00:06:47]Good boy. He was a good boy. Come on.

[00:06:52]So, so yeah.

[00:07:00]So, I don't know y'all.

[00:07:06]Blue will be six years old next month.

[00:07:10]He'll be six.

[00:07:13]So, I'm not sure how old that is in doggy years, but he'll be six years next month. And Barkley will be four years old next month.

[00:07:28]So, Barkley and and Blue's birthday are is in May, and Bama's is in um December, right along with mine.

[00:07:46]Okay, Blue. Come on. Okay, Blue. That good boy.

[00:07:51]You said, "Hey, he saw you." Come on. Come on. He's Yeah. Blue doesn't He don't like many people. I don't know what happened to him. It saddens me because I I I don't know why what has caused him to, you know, be like that. But, well, I'm not going to say he doesn't like many people. He's very protective.

[00:08:24]I guess I'm going to say that he's very protective.

[00:08:28]I've never had a dog as protective as Blue. He is the best watch dog ever. He can hear a pin drop.

[00:08:41]Oh, good boy.

[00:08:58]So yeah, you guys, um I'm trying is all I'm saying. I am trying my best to um do what's best for Blue.

[00:09:14]I'm exhausted, but I'm trying my best.

[00:09:16]And I don't want to give up.

[00:09:19]I really don't want to give up.

[00:09:23]So, um we're going to see where this goes, this journey goes.

[00:09:29]But like I said, he's he's got several more um visits ahead, more scans and procedures and observation. So, so I'm just going to try to keep him as calm and quiet and uh low stimulation.

[00:10:01]And I think for a while, um, well, I've always been very watchful between he and Barkclay's interaction, so that's not going to change.

[00:10:18]So, I just have to keep a real good eye on on him.

[00:10:27]But that's all I have for now, you guys.

[00:10:28]I just wanted to come and give you like a update and I'll go back uh live again sometime late this evening um with a little bit more. Okay. Love you. Continue praying for us and um sending your love.

[00:10:53]All right.
