Update

My internet has not worked all day but I seem to have a brief window right now when I have a connection. First of all, thank you so much for all of your good wishes. We can feel your positive thoughts all the way here in Colorado!

K seems about the same as yesterday, which I'd say is good news. She's certainly no worse and is tolerating our poking her with needles to hydrate her beautifully. After we give her fluids, she looks like a linebacker with shoulder pads because her "camelbak" of fluids sits under her skin across her shoulders while her body absorbs it. You can't see it in the photo below.
I miss having K by my side exploring the forest and meadows near us but I'm hoping that she'll be back soon to enjoy the summer beauty with me!
Here is K's Columbine for today. I've decided that these delicate but tough beauties having healing powers!

  2. We've had the sub q fluids in some of our dogs in the past. It's always so strange how you can see that lump slowly move along the side of the body. I'm glad that K is holding her own! We're still sending out our good thoughts for her! The columbine are beautiful!

  3. We'll keep sending our healing vibes and very best wishes for K's speedy recovery.

    It occured to us that a lot of animals feel vulnerable when they are ill. In the wild, they'll often dig a den or go into hiding. Maybe that's the source of K's enhanced fear reactions, when she has them?

    Get well soon, K!

  4. K needs a lot of Colorado air and some sniffs of columbine. That will help her get better.

  6. One of my daughter's had a kitty who had to get fluids that way a couple of times a week - he always had a big pouch too. Hope that another day brings more good progress for K. That columbine is beautiful.

  14. My Vickie is a true beleiver that us dogs can feel/sense what we are doing when separated from our humans.

    So talk to K in your mind while on your rides and what you see K will see to.

    It will be like you are together.

    It will help K heal.

    Well, thats what My vickie thinks.

    But then she is a bit weird.....

    Love

  20. Hi Y'all,

    We missed hearing about K. After Monday real life intervened. My Human had my posts scheduled, but I missed checking all my friends.

    I'm gonna keep my paws crossed for K. I've asked my Human to add her to her prayers.

    With all the Human prayers and paw power, I know K will be flyin' through the meadows soon.

    Y'all come by now,
    Hawk aka BrownDog

  22. Oh my, so much has happened since I read you last. It's really difficult to hear this about K. Sophie senses things with us and I know R does the same with K. We are all thinking about your family and KNOW K will pull threw. If it helps, I was just looking at the columbines in my garden today. Cheers!

  24. I hope K continues to improve. I had to do that under the skin hydrating with a very old cat once. It all seemed to flow into one leg or another. Poor girl looked like a cat with one elephant leg.
