August 28, 2004 "LOST AT SEA" Cruise

[gdulaney]

Bobby,
I hope that Mickey makes a full and speedy recovery. Not sure about trip insurance...there are some folks who don't understand that part of the family just has a little more fur. If it doesn't cover it, do you know if your vet would board your recovering fur-baby? At least then, your daughter (and the rest of the family) would know that he is in good hands.

Key West has a wonderful store that is geared to dog and cat owners. I can't remember the name, but it's on the shopping in paradise guide. You could get Mickey a really nice get-well gift.

Bobby - I know just how you feel. I had to rush my cat to the hospital a couple of weeks ago. I thought he was dying. I had to leave him there. I cried my heart out. He's my best friend. Fortunately with IV's & medicine he is much better. There is always hope.

The passporters guide says "Trip interruption/cancellation coverage is great for circumstances beyond your control" It also says "This insurance plan covers trip cancellations, travel delays, emergency medical" - etc

I hoe this helps. God speed

Bobby - I hope your dog recovers quickly. Our Westie spend five nights in the vet hospital last year. It was a very stressful time.

Will your vet board him for you while you're away? We were going to do that last fall when Cody was recovering but we ended up getting a house sitter.

Bobby-- I hope "Mickey" will be okay. Our prayers are with you and your family through this difficult time. I am a pet groomer and my heart breaks when I receive a call that one of my clients has passed. I think the owner ends up consoling me because it upsets me to here these things. All of our pooch prayers are with you for Mickey.

Bobby -we will keep Mickey in our prayers for a speedy recovery.
Please give Jessie and big hug from all her Dis friends.. that poor kid must be so upset.

Doreen... or I may borrow your cooler supplies... Good thing is that at least we know if one smoothie maker breaks - we always have a back-up.

Oh Bobby

I'm so sorry about your puppy dog! Tell Jessie we are thinking about all of you and praying for Mickey. I second the idea about maybe having the vet take care of Mickey. In 1995 our epileptic (sp?) dog had a grand mal seizure in my sister's care while we were at WDW. The vet took care of her during the rest of our vacation and allowed us to call everyday for an update and even more than once a day when "Snookie" took a down turn. Even though we were really sad during that vacation, I know our pup was in excellent hands and was well cared for. Of course, as you might imagine, the care was not cheap, I just thought I should mention that.

I don't know whether trip insurance covers this type of happening or not, but I wish you all the best and hope everything works out positively over the next few days. Under the best of circumstances, care of our pets is the hardest part of any vacation isn't it?

Bobby: So so sorry to hear about Mickey's mishap. We have had dogs all our lives and they are not pets, but an active member of our family. My heart goes out to you and your family. They are such devoted creatures and their love is so pure. God bless and much pixie dust sent your way.....

Hi All...I just spoke to Cindy and Bobby...They are all devastated. As anyone who has lost a dog knows, it is hard. They are going to the vet now to see how Mickey made it through the night and for hopefully a good update. The bad thing is he has internal injuries, which means internal bleeding. So who knows about a good update.

Hopefully they will post when they get back.

[Mary Anne]

Mjasp, please let him know I have been thinking of them all morning. So very sad.

Doreen or Kathy (or any other mudslide junkies) - have you ever had the TGI Fridays Mudslides that come in the bottle with the booze already in it. Im thinking about buying that to bring with us so I dont have to bring separate bottles of Absolut, Kahlua & Baileys.

My DH makes the best mudslides (he adds really ripe bananas to them) so I am spoiled and just want to make sure the Fridays stuff is semi good so Im not disappointed.

And Doreen... I will share honey - dont worry!!!

Ginny

We have a bottle of this in our fridge right now, along with their orange "Creamsicle" mix. We like the TGIF mixes, they taste pretty good! They might not be as good as your own recipe, but I think they've convenient. I bet you could get some bananas on the ship and add them in when you make them. I've never had a Mudslide with banana in it, but it sounds good

 

[Reenieny18]

Where do you get TGIF mixes? Do you go to the Restaurant??

Lynn PM me when you get a chance. I have to ask you something...

Doreen

They sell them in most liquor stores, very easy to find.

(I left out the word "not" in my first post, I just fixed it. lol I meant to say, they're probably NOT as good as your own recipes, but they are still pretty tasty!)

 

[winnyis]

Oh Terry - I forgot all about the Creamsicle ones... I LOVE THEM TOO... God I hope the cooler is gonna be big enough for DH's beer with all my stuff in it...

If we weren't flying down (and trying to pack light) I'd be tempted to mix up some frozen drinks on our verandah!! Yes, the Creamsicle ones ARE very good.

 

[paulinewdw]

Those mixes are pretty good...I always add vanilla ice cream...mmmm!!!!
