some of the good things that i am grateful for....

percy's voice changed tonight...he has developed his full, deep throttle adult bellow...wow, it echo's.

tom once again felt well enough to fly full speed off the couch and then bounced off the coffee table to grab a second lunch, i really have to get that dog a blue leotard and a red cape.

i switched michael back to the melixacam from the tramadol and he is moving much, much better. the melixacam makes his lining of his bladder bleed but that doesn't hurt and his joints do. the tramadol is strictly for pain but the melixacam has both pain control and antinflammatory properties. i think i will periodically try switching him back and forth and see if we can keep the bleeding to a minimum and his pain control to a maximum.

spritely's leg looks marginally better tonight, apparently cantering around was in fact good for it. who'd have thought?

remy has forgiven me for my lack of respect in grabbing his collar. i noticed tonight he was quieter and less demanding and looking a bit worried. could he possibly think i might care that he bit me? anyway...i gave him a kiss and rough upped his face and he started smiling and being a pain again.

molly is back to her sweet and gentle self. apparently vets bring out the devil in her.

my daughter cancelled our "hairspray" movie date tonight...such perfect timing on her part, she prempted my calling her!

max continues to move forward in leaps and bounds with his mom-to-be's committed attention. he is pretty much just a really nice and normal dog now. the plan is for him to go home at the end of the month as they are going away before then. he will be back for a weekend in mid sept. cuz i don't want him going into a kennel yet.

and the best news of all is little callie has moved into her permanent home today. yay callie, yay sheila and leila and thank you guardians of a little frightened puppy's soul.
