Middle of the Week Already!

We have rounded the corner to the middle of the week.  Where does the time go? All the dogs seem to be having a pretty good week.  No stomach upset, (knock on wood), no wanting out in the middle of the night (knock on wood) and no more counter-surfing for cat food or anything else. (knock on wood).  
You'll recall that Charlie was a concern because he wasn't eating. I called Mobile Vet a few days ago, and we talked about it.  Again, instead of coming he prescribed a medication for nausea (Cerenia) that I already had, so I gave that to him.  As of this evening, it looks like Charlie's appetite has returned -- However I'll admit to topping his meal with a little bit of baby food to tempt him. Whatever works, right?
The lovely little Lucille that we have for the SPCA also had a follow-up appointment with the surgeon.  It was time for her to have the staples taken out of her leg, and to have her first healing x-ray taken.  It looks like she's mending really well, but still has to wear the "cone of shame" for now, and remain crated.  I think she's okay with that.

Max was happy that Lucille saw the surgeon and not him.  His turn will come next week.
Another vet visit was needed for some follow up tests for our foster-boy Bo from Lab Rescue. The results will be returned in a few more days. He seems to be feeling pretty well.  I'm really happy with how he's finally settled into the routine and the household. I have to say that it seemed to start coming together when we just let him set the pace and decide for himself where he wanted to be, and what he wanted to do. When we were on our way back from the vets office the other day, I have to say, he looked so happy sitting on the back seat. I had the windows open and he was sniffing the air and to me, he looked like he didn't have a care in the world. Maybe he didn't.
Another dog that doesn't have a care in the world appears to be Deizel (previous foster boy for Lab Rescue).  I got the below picture from his family yesterday.  The e-mails I've gotten from them have left no doubt about how well he's doing and it's really clear that they all adore Deizel.  And I've no doubt that Deizel would say that the feeling is mutual.

  21. Cerenia is great for nausea. I try to keep it on hand. I do hope everyone is on the mend by now. Having more than one invalid at a time is so stressful.

  22. I am so happy for Diezel. That's why you do this, isn't it? It must be very hard to let a loving dog like him go but when you are sending him to the perfect family, it's golden :)

    I'm so glad that Charlie is eating again. Poor Max - back to the surgeon. But, he has only 2 knees so this should be the last one, right? We will be thinking of him.

  23. Nice pictures, Kim! Sorry your dogs had been sick but glad to know they seem to be feeling better. Gracie has mysteriously been wanting to go out in the middle of the night sometimes 2X. She isn't sick or anything, but she will go out, pee, and then refuse to come back inside. Sometimes she will just lay on the lawn and look straight ahead. Dementia? She seems fine otherwise. She is twelve and this is out of character. It works better when I leash her, that way I have control and don't have to stay up coaxing her to come back in. Though it really messes with our sleep, I take into consideration that she's older now and her needs may have changed. Love seeing Charlie's smiling face and I'm glad he's eating okay now.
