Hello and welcome to this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday, co-hosted by Jones Natural Chews and Heart Like a Dog. This is the blog hop that wraps up your week and leads you right into the weekend!
Follow-Up Friday Blog Hop
As I mentioned joining me today is Flea from Jones Natural Chews. I love Flea. She’s super awesome. And she’s got a great job, siriusly she goes around giving treats to dogs. All kinds of dogs! Imagine having a job where you get to play with dogs all day. Sounds like heaven to me!
Thanks for joining me today Flea!!
Lauranne said, “Nuticles is a brilliant word – I may have to adopt it!!”
I wish I could take credit for it, but I can’t! I first heard about it on Something Wagging This Way Comes Trust Pamela to find something like this. 🙂
JoAnn asked, “Does he grunt when rolling on back?”
Sometimes he does, mostly he grunts when he’s getting off the couch. It reminds me of a pig. LOL
Roxy the Traveling Dog asked, “Does your vet offer cleaning without it?”
I don’t know, but seeing as there are other things he will have taken care of, I think it’s best to put him out.
Maggie said, “I’ve always worried about anesthesia, too, but I think you set yourself up for success if you do the optional pre-anesthetic lab work.”
And 2 Brown Dawgs asked, “Your vet will do blood work first right?”
I agree Maggie and yes to 2 Brown Dawgs. I set it up so I can bring him in the night before and have the blood work done. They will run the results while we wait.
When Delilah went to be spayed we were in the process of moving and the vet’s office called (not my current vet) and said she had a UTI and they couldn’t do her surgery. She was stuck all day at the Vet and hadn’t eaten breakfast. I finally convinced them to give the poor thing some kibble.
My vet tech friends JoAnn and Jen both reassured me things will be okay. Remember the date Jen, you can be sure I’ll be texting you on that day. 😀
After I posted I thought, geez, it would have been nice to show what the cookies looked like!
As you can see, the M&M’s didn’t fare so well in the baking process.
Donna said, “The cocobanana sounds great for the pups, and love your jingle at the end, but tell me more about those orange chocolate chip muffins.”
It’s been a long time Donna, but I’ll work on a recipe for you. 😉
Oz says, “Great dawg! Can I come live with you, Miss Jodi?”
I’ve already got your little bed picked out Oz!
2 Brown Dawgs asked, “So besides being too moist, did you like the people version?”
YES. I liked the people version and the dog version, the combination of the coconut and banana gave it a perfect amount of sweetness.
Dawn asked, “Too bad I hate baking. Can you mail me some?”
I’m not sure how they’d hold up seeing as there are no preservatives in them, but I’d try.
It’s hard to get a photo of this thing when you’re attempting it alone, but here goes.
JoAnn said, “It’s best to have them removed so they don’t rupture causing a mess and possible infection.”
I hadn’t known they could rupture, so I’m glad it’s being taken care of.
Julie said, “I’m going to pretend like I didn’t just try to lick my elbow 
”
LOL Julie, I tried too!
Kristine said, “But it bothers me greatly just how much I care about these things. Logically, I know they shouldn’t.”
I agree Kristine. I don’t know how to fix that. I’m so very different on the phone or online than I am in person. In person for some reason my light dims, and I became hugely self-conscious.
Jackie said, “I wouldn’t knock a dog out strictly for something cosmetic.”
I wouldn’t either! That to me is true vanity.
Sampson’s Puzzled – This ‘N That Thursday
Pamela said, “BTW, want to make a Sampson and leaf puzzle even more challenging? Give it oddly shaped edges.”
She’s evil that one.
Houndstooth said, “Wait! You can do puzzles on the iPad?! How did I not know this?”
Yes you can do puzzles on the iPad! My favorite was one by Sparkle, (it was free, what can I say, I’m cheap.) But when Apple updated their IOS, the app wouldn’t work right and I haven’t found another one that I love. 🙁
That wraps up this week’s edition of Follow-Up Friday, co-hosted by Jones Natural Chews and Heart Like a Dog! Reminder, if you’d like to co-host with me, please let me know in the comments!
Great follow up! Please put me on the list for that orange chocolate chip muffin recipe 🙂 I’ve got to go back and read … I am (as always) behind. AND I don’t see a linky to join the hop…???
I don’t know why it wasn’t working, but I think it is now.
I’m headed to the app store to check out these computer jigsaw puzzles. My iPad is so old, it doesn’t even upgrade to the new OS. Perfect.
Those things can rupture, but it depends on what kind they are. I get some of those too, and Mom would tell you it is a nasty mess, but once they rupture they are gone, just have to keep the area clean until it heals up. I know the teeth cleaning will go well and if you do the tests first, there should be no problem, but my mom would worry like crazy too. She’s already starting to worry about getting Bailie spayed in a month or so.
Yummy at those cookies. We don’t have an ipad ….still in the dark ages here.
Have a fabulous Friday.
Best wishes Molly
Glad that it’s good to remove the cyst anyway! Have a great weekend ahead!
For all you “worry warts” out there, I’m sharing this little tidbit I found ages ago:
“Worrying is like a rocking chair. It gives you something to do but gets you nowhere.”
I adopted it as my mantra back when I first saw it. But there are times when worry does creep into my psyche anyway.
OH! And another great follow-up post!! I agree, she is the ONLY Flea I want near my dogs! She’s a hoot!!
Awesome follow up. I first of nueticals from the company that makes them. Weird marketing if you ask me.
Wonderful follow-up, Miss Jodi. I am packing my bags right after I comment, so I can live with you and eat those yummy treats! BOL (Ma says too bad the M & Ms didn’t “survive” the baking process. She loves cookies decorated in M & Ms.)
Have a great weekend!
Oz
Lol. I’m sorry but your cookies cracked me up 🙂 I love you because we are two peas in a pod!
Okay, this is gross, but my boy used to get some kind of weird warts when he was little. The pediatrician said they were very contagious. There wasn’t much we could do, but they would burst and he’d bleed EVERYWHERE. Always on his torso, so his shirts always looked like he’d been shot. Then they went away.
Not sure why I told you that.
The cookies – hmm. Skip the cookies and work on that muffin recipe. 😉 They sound gooooood.
Great FUF. My brother’s dog was offered nuticles when they took him in to get snipped years ago. So silly!
You so don’t want me near your dogs. It’s like going to grandma’s. They’d both be ten pounds overweight in a week.
Great FUF! Mommy says she had a dog that use to get those and they would rupture. They were on her head and they would bleed black stuff. Ewe…gross. We think the cookies look yummy! Have a great weekend!
Hi Y’all!
Finally made it!!!
Great follow up! Love the sound of the cookies! Think I might come live with you!
The Humans left in the middle of the night, or morning if you count after midnight as morning and just got back with the computer! Don’t worry, I made ’em pay! I raced around, all 100 lbs of me. I barked and refused to “quiet”. Unfortunately my Human is pretty much imperturbable.
Y’all come by now!

Great FUF! The cookies look yummy, (says the girl that can take or leave coconut). 🙂 When Thunder had lab work done before his dental, it showed a low thyroid. It didn’t make sense because he had zero symptoms. Still the vet just wanted to be sure so we had more blood drawn when he was under and a more detailed panel done and he was normal. It was a false low. But I am glad we checked it out. I was happy with his blood work because after his bloat surgery, I really expected to see some values out of normal, but the rest were all fine. I think the pre anesthesia blood work is important, unless it is young dog then we don’t do it. 🙂
The recipe? I was hoping for muffins! 😉

Probably not a good idea to mail the cookies. 😉 Maya & Pierson get plenty of treats and I doubt they would take the time to taste how delicious your recipe is anyway. That cyst is not at all pretty. But at least it is not bothering him. Great follow up! I missed some of these posts when I was visiting my mom, but I’m glad I had a chance to catch up. Enjoy your weekend. 🙂
Beautiful FUF. Sampson is going to be just fine during his dental and yes cysts can rupture, gross white cheesie stuff comes out. YUCK. 🙂
