You look mahvelous Fritz!! You're such a cute little boy!!
I'm sorry your Dad fell, Barry. How scary. How did you find out that the iron is making your Dad lose weight? I take large doses of iron for anemia and it doesn't affect my weight at all. To be on the safe side, I would check with his doctor before stopping it. He may need it to prevent other problems. Low iron can really zap his energy level. Have you guys tried giving him some of those shakes like Ensure? They supplement lost nutrients. We gave those to my Grandmother and she did great with them. Sorry I don't know the names of the ones that are on the market now. I know that's the one we gave her 15 years ago and I think those are still available. I'm sorry you all are having such a hard time. :(
Batteries on the camera went, had a pack of four and the camera needs two of them aty a time the two only lasted 2 days each time,so by this afternoon should have batteries.dad had to crawl to the bedroom,I guess the fall hurt him a bit,though we could get him up on his feet during the day,at night he just didn't have any strength.no problems during the night,fritz slept in his own cage.Mom wanted me to pick him up off her so she could get up out of her chair,Fritz growled at me,did the same this morning when dad wanted to be moved over the the recliner where he is now,Fritz I think is in the window.We had some trouble getting dad there,so mom called Larry,but before he come ,we had got him the chair.If it doesn't get better soon,Mom is going to get some help,getting a little too much,dad is a dead weight to lift, when he can't help us.Dad drinks Ensure every day so he is getting what he needs from that.There might be some snow coming ,hard to say,any here from an inch to 4 so who knows,it better hold off i have a game to go to tonight and i haven't missed a game in over 3 years.has the apointment in toronto on tuesday,hope it goes well,it is always a chore getting him ready to go and getting him dressed.
Unfortunately, it may be getting too much for sure, Barry. That lifting will take a toll on all of you. My heart breaks daily for you and the family. I'm glad your Dad is drinking Ensure. It's so good for him. It will give him extra needed nutrients. Give Fritz some kisses from us and take care. We'll look forward to more pictures when you get batteries. :)

Everyone looks great in the new pictures. What cute pics of you and Taffy wearing your bandanas, Fritz. What a nice boy you are, giving her a kiss. You know how to put smiles on everyone's faces buddy!! Looks like you've already got some snow on the ground. Maybe you won't get too much more. Stay warm you guys!! :D :) :D

There you are Fritz. All tuckered out after all that busyness. What a busy boy you are. It's all you can do to keep up with the family's belongings. Especially the radio remote. What will you grab next, cutie pie?? You're so funny.
Barry, I think it's always the people that we're closest to that we tend to take our anger out on. If that makes sense. It's not that we don't appreciate those people, it's just because those people that are closer are always there during our weaker moments. It's hard to explain. We just seem to feel more comfortable with the people we communicate with most of the time so it's easier to "let go" on them.
I'm pretty sure your Dad appreciates you and your Mom alot. He just has some agitation stemming from his illness. I'm sorry it's so hard on you.

http://www.imagebee.org/images/1163shinyguy.JPG Fritz on the back of the chair.Lights shining behind him,he didn't like the camera flash and closed his eyes.He is now under the couch snoozing.Dad seems better today.He can lift his legs better and get off the couch easier with our help.Dad has even thanked me for helping him makes me feel better.Goes to Sunnybrook in Toronto, for tests,that will be half the day.Mom stopped giving the Iron pills, weren't helping him,feeling better and eating pretty well,had scrambled eggs,cut up wieners and macaroni salad.
You look so adorable Fritz!!
I'm glad to hear the encouraging news about your Dad, Barry. I know he really appreciates everything you do for him. :)

Hi Fritz! You look smashing, what a life you have. Someone even folded that blanket to make a nice pillow for you to rest. I think you are doing wonders to keep Barry's Poppa feeling well, good for you Fritz!
