Sorry I haven't been on much this week with updates, things just looked so bad I couldn't bring myself to type it. As of yesterday afternoon, all the test weren't showing anything and he wasn't eating, still puking with the meds they had given him, he was loosing his hair, had lost 4 pounds this week and even after being admitted and given an IV I was trying to prepare myself for his death. Preparing my kids for the same was one of the hardest things I've ever done. This morning he woke up happy… Continue

My boy is so sick. The vets are doing all they can to try to figure out why he is vomiting and has diarrhea with traces of blood. So far they are ruling out blockages, the pancreas and his gall bladder, they have now sent stool samples to the lab to test for Giardia.

Zim always seems like such a grown up and Sunny (who just turned a year old last Thursday) still seems l… Continue

So since it's really cold out and I had to do some shopping I left the dogs home the other day (saves me having to try to bury the groceries when I get out of the car). Sunny and Gizmo each have their own kennel and we have started to leave Zim alone since he has been trustworthy. I figured at the most he would have shredded some paper or maybe had an accident (he adores shredding paper so it wouldn't surprise me). What I came home to was beyond anything I could have imagined. He had gotten into… Continue

One year ago my Zim was born!! I can't even imagine not having him now. He is so wonderful. He got up this morning and celebrated by eating Gizmo's dog bed. After that we went and got his birthday cake that was made by the local dog store (they make their own treats, carry good dog f… Continue
