Black Dog Sunday

Our Black Dog is a happy guy. When I head outside with him alone, we have fun. He really loves the snow. Yes, it's still snowing, and it will be for a while - much to the delight of our Black Dog.
He is very eager to go for a short daily run with the Runner these days. It's always his choice as to whether he wants to go. Occasionally, he doesn't want to but he's been leading the way in recent days.

On the health front, we have no results from the second pathology study of his spleen. I sure hope that we hear soon. We are a bit worried because R is continuing to lose weight despite eating an entire extra meal every day. Now, we are trying replacing some of his home cooked food with very calorie dense kibble. We have a phone appointment with his vet on Wednesday. They are trying to avoid in-person appointments due to the pandemic. It's not a good time to have serious veterinary issues but we totally support their efforts.

He seems so content to have the pack all together in these days of "social distancing".
We will feel better when we can put some weight on his bones and when we resolve the nagging issues.

Happy Black Dog Sunday!

  7. Sending virtual hugs to you all
    Just plain crazy here...no paper products anywhere with in a 2 mi radius. I might have to travel outside my home turf. WE are well.I have enough food for 10 days but the meals toward the end might be culinary curiosities. LOL I wish I could send R some of my extra poundage....my hope is that he is gradually trying to regain what was lost before surgery.
    Hugs Cecilia

  18. R is quite the trooper. We hope you get those results soon. Our vet is offering curbside service to anyone who wants to drop their dog off and discuss the situation via phone. We are just hoping we don't any reason to need vet services at this time. Lastly we had snow flurries today:)
