Ben Ben Update

Friends, this is Benny's nurse. Call me Nurse Lily. He went to the uncl-ologist (Oncologist) Thursday.  He got a chemo shot.  He took it like Big Boy Benny. So far so good, no side effects.

Although brother's whole liver is bad with "C" we are still waiting to hear if its "mast cell..." or "lymphoma." Lymphoma is a tiny bit better. We will keep our Benny as comfortable as comfortable can be. He may have a month or 87 months, but one day at a time friends.  Benny will "Fight Like A Frenchie."

 He has no pain and is eating like a champ. Thank you... thank you friends. I know you got Benny's back.

Snorts, Benny & Lily

It's All About Benny Today

Thank you ....thank you...thank you....

What's Hanging Guest Post

Friends today we have a guest post by Ms. Robyn and her Frenchie Gnarley.

Ms. Robyn has a really cool blog called

What's Hanging

check it out.

************************************

Hello fellow friends and French Bulldogs! Gnarly the Frenchie here, I am so
happy to have been invited by Benny and Lily to share my story and
 pictures with you all!

A bit about myself, I am a 2.5 year old French Bulldog, I live with my
 mom and dad in Vancouver, BC.

 It rains a lot here which I am not very
 fond of but have gotten used to it over the years. My mom got me this
raincoat which helps a lot. I actually won the Starbucks Canada Red
 Cup Challenge back in the winter wearing this raincoat! Since my mom
 really likes clothes I trust her to pick out my raincoats for me.

 My favorite pastimes are tug-of-war and hanging out at the beach and
 dog park with my friends. I also LOVE to snuggle with my parents. My
 parents are so good to me, they keep me pretty active and take me
everywhere with them. I even go to work with my mom two days a week, I
 like to catch some zzz’s under her desk by the heater, chew on my
 antler and make all of her coworkers smile.

My mom and I have a life & style blog called What’s Hanging… my mom
 blogs about her closet full of clothes, our weekend adventures at the
 beach or wherever else life takes us and Frenchie related health
 issues and allergy home remedies (cause I got allergies bad).

 It was a pleasure visiting Two French Bulldogs, feel free to stop by
 What’s Hanging… one of these days to learn more about our life in
Vancouver!

 Oh and one more thing, you can also follow us on Instagram to see
daily pics of my cuteness: @whats_hangingblog.

 xoxo (licks and snuggles)

Gnarly the Frenchie

 

Thank you friends,

We are posting on their site today too!!

from Mom

From mom:

 I feel like I was running and hit a brick wall head on. I bragged that Lily was my money bag due to her surgeries and my Benny Boy was my little healthy 30 lbs. ball with never one thing wrong. I am shocked, saddened and my heart literally hurts when I look at those big brown eyes looking at me. I can't stop the tears from flowing. I try not to let him see me cry because he will come over, sit in front of me and stare. I am sure he is telling me a thousand words. I have had pets my entire life, every one so special but the thing about Benny and Lily is that I found them on my own. They're "mine."

All of your words, thoughtfulness and generosity is extremely overwhelming. I write these words because you understand. There is an outpouring of support from you, Facebook and Twitter friends. I don't know what to say except I love my Benny boy. (and of course my monster Lily)

I look at Lily who appears a bit depressed. She lays close to Benny, which she used to prefer a little space. She refuses to be alone. I will comfort both, and continue to make them as happy and comfortable as they can be. Frankie and a friend Khristine from the French Bulldog Rescue Network said to me in the same day, it's about the quality of Benny's life, not the quantity.  I do know that for sure. I would never want him to suffer.

Thank you again friends. It means the world to us.

wordless Wednesday

Lily (& Benny boy)

Home Is Like A Bowl-a-Cheese

I got home yesterday.

And I made up my mind I am going to stay here for all my days cause of you.

Your support is overwhelming.

I would like to introduce you to my nurse Lily.

She is already sleeping on the job.

Mom said she was getting very sad without me.

Probably cause she hasn't bitten my ears in 87 days.

I grabbed my pillow, threw it outside and snoozed.

and snoozed....

I snoozed to the right and snoozed to the left.

Please, no profile shots.

My zillion chins will show.

I think I would look quite handsome as an English Bulldog.

I am taking Prednisone.

It is a pee pee drug.

Cause it makes you pee pee.

Drinking a gallon of water is tiring.

I also take tramadol for pain as needed, Pepcid, Metronidazole Suspension (antibiotic) and     Ursodiol (liver protectant)

I am being monitored to make sure my breathing is ok,

my tongue and gums are pink, I am eating, drinking and have no pain.

 

mom continues to slobber on my head.

I said mom

one day at a time, right.

 

The response from YOU, Blogville, and Facebook and Twitter friends

is more than we could have ever imagined in 87 years.

 

We will see the Uncl-ologist Thursday morning.

 

 

You guys rock my world,

Benny

and Lily

 

 

FIGHT LIKE A FRENCHIE

Go Fund Me

Friends

I had a talk with mom during our visit yesterday.

I said mom we need a few dollars and don't be afraid to ask.

See my new triple chin?

Edema is swelling. The fluid should subside and get absorbed by my body.

anyway...

we are asking every buddy for a $1 cause I'm expensive, BOL.

These here are my sweatbands on my feets.

I am so sad friends.

But so happy to see and kiss mom.

I can't be in a better place despite my bad liver.

Mom fed me. My first food in days.

It tasted extra good coming from her.

I still have major bruising on my belly.

Mom is so sad. She slobbers on me

then gets my head all wet.

I say mom, I love you.

We will do this one day at time.

I am scheduled to come home this morning friends.

My Lily will take care of me.

I will remain as comfortable as comfortable can be in my own bed til I see the

uncle-ologist this week,

We are waiting for a test result.

Even though we already know my liver is filled with cancer.

We will discuss my medicines...

so thank you for having my back
you help me and my family to stay as strong as we can be at this time
Benny & Lily
