Nice long weekend

If I haven't told you before, there is a girl that comes to visit from time to time. Her name is SoCo. We get along great. She just shows up and it's like nothing has changed. Last Thursday evening was one of those nights. Sluggirl and I were hanging after a nice after work walk, and then she just bounded into the house. We went for lots of nice long walks. And let me tell you, I've been so itchy with this warmer, humid, blooming weather, I was licking my front two paws a lot so a couple of those walks were not comfortable and I didn't go to far, either. That and my hips have been bugging me. I've just started taking some Dasuquin Chews with MSM, so hopefully that helps me. I know that icychill and slugg are very concerned about me though because I really am having a hard time getting up from my hind legs, and I thought better of jumping up on the front screen door to look out it.

Other health updates are that my skin is doing really good, considering it's spring. I'm healing up pretty well from my last surgery about a week ago to remove that mast cell tumor and in another week I'll get those 15 staples out.

So, if you didn't read my Twitter, I got a new collar today from the folks of SoCo, the girl that was here this weekend. It's a cool skull & crossbones. I really like it and have been wearing it all night. I'll get a picture up soon, but for now it's time for bed.

Quickie Update

I have been doing pretty good lately. My skin is soft and healing and I am growing hair back. I no longer scratch myself silly. So happy, and so are my owners! More pictures and details soon.

Lucky Update

Well, it has been awhile but I hope you are following my Twitter posts. The last month has been a bit of an adventure but as of today, I'm looking pretty good and I seem to feel much better. My skin is clearing up and I am much less itchy and scratchy.

I am finished with the chloramphenicol (last week) and the ketaconizol (yesterday 1/28) and I feel like a new dog. I am resting much better and letting my owner folks sleep more through the night.

Tha adventure part? Well, I ate two washclothes just before Xmas. I puked one back up on New Years Day morning (Happy New Year!) and the other a few days later. It interfered with the meds I was on and I got a little run down and sick. I skipped a day to get settled down then finished up my meds.

The other part of the adventure was me having accidents in the house. I couldn't help it. Hopefully that is behind me. I think I was stressed with the meds making me have to go all the time.

One bummer is that my hips are bothering me a bit. I had some trouble on the stairs - even wiping out and scaring the bajeesus out of Jim and Beth at one point. But Beth installed some really nice stair runners that make my traction much better. We even went for a couple of longer walks when it wasn't so cold out. I also have mini stairs that go up to the bed, so I can sack out with them at night. Plus Beth bought a night light so I can see them if I have to get up late at night! Cool, huh?

Anyway, that's all for now. I'll post some pics so you can see my progress.
