Health Update

Buddy says, 'Hey, I'm doing great! Got my ears cleaned and nails clipped this morning. It wasn't too bad, mom is pretty gentle. Then she fed me my sardines, liver & catfish with finely chopped asparagus. And then she made my cookies. I tried one, it was great! It had peanut butter, blueberries & vegetable fish broth with a touch of garlic. Mmmmm! Thanks mom! Love you.' September 21st, 2009

Buddy is Losing Weight

Mar 14th, 2009 by Joanne | 5

Just within the last few weeks really, the fat pads on Buddy’s lower back are disappearing. Almost as quickly as they came. Strange. I haven’t changed his diet enough to warrant what I’m seeing here. I just gave the go ahead to my Mom,who is the cookie giver at night, to give him a few moreĀ each night. I had a heck of a time getting her to cut back. Maybe his weight loss is as simple as that. I was SOOOO worried about his getting too heavy, not much more than a month ago. I hope it is that simple, please.

He also has a few new bumps that only recently appeared. I’m sorry, this is difficult to write. And, it’s Buddy’s 10th birthday in two days, Mar 16th. I’m making him a liver cake just like I used to. One new bump is on his front chest at the top of his right leg. There is no hair loss, just a raised bump, kind of like a small hive. It doesn’t seem to be itchy. The other is on the left front leg in the armpit area. Same kind.

Buddy\'s 4th birthdayHere’s a pic of Buddy’s 4th birthday, the first of the cake parties. He knows about and enjoys them. And he loves his food! He’s my baby. Silly huh? I bought him a new stuffed toy, like he needs another one. Next post will be about the birthday I didn’t think he’d see. Can’t wait!

    That pet dog is so lucky. Wished my parents weren’t anti-pets when I was a kid.
