Yesterday and last night were tough. I spent most of my day stepping in and cleaning up pee. Eeeyuck. But somehow we got through it. I'm praying today is not a repeat of yesterday.

Mike continued to lose his bladder yesterday and drip at other times. Miss Gidget decided to follow suit and peed a lake in the kitchen. OMG... I definitely could never be mad at Mike... but she knows better and hasn't messed in the house for awhile. I think she just saw me cleaning up after Mike without getting angry at him and decided she'd try it for herself. Well.. let's just say.. it didn't work for her.

Mike didn't want his chicken last night, just ate a tiny bit from my hand. I'm wondering if he might have tasted the Artemisinin in it. He didn't notice it the night before, but maybe he did last night. Who knows?

I made myself some noodles for dinner, and he did manage to eat some of those, so I was grateful that he could and would eat anything. He's looking so thin lately. It could be my imagination, but I don't think so. I'm thinking about calling Dr. Blaha next week and see if she would mind bringing her scale over so we can weigh him again.... after all, he was down 6 pounds when she was here last week. If she can come over next Wednesday, it will be two weeks since he's been weighed, and we'll get an idea of how it's going for him.

I made him a peanut butter and jelly sandwich this morning for breakfast. At first, I wasn't sure if he would eat it. Of course, I have to break it up all the time and feed it to him in pieces, but this morning, he wouldn't even come in to the kitchen to get it. He sat by the kitchen door and watched me call him. Silly puppy... he wanted table side service. So, I took a piece of it over to him, and he ate it... I asked him, "what do you think this is.. a full service diner?" LOL He just looked at me and waited for me to bring him more. Well.. I've gotten a new career as a waitress now, but that's fine with me since he ate the whole thing.

Well... that's about that for now. So far, so good. I just hope today remains better than yesterday.

All My Love To All Of You

I am trying again to let you know that I am here. Jack wouldn't eat this morning either. So he got tableside service with yogurt the main course.

I sure hope things get better. Miss Katie, remember to go outside and not make it harder on her.

Love nad Husky hugs,
Debbie and Jack
