Hi, everybody.

Sorry it's been so long since I posted - all kinds of things have been going on in my life! But now it's calmed down for a while, at least.

I just wanted to let you know that Aspen is doing a lot better. I brought her to the vet on Monday and she has gained 2.5 lbs. I know that doesn't sound like much - but she was losing pretty quickly before. She has all kinds of energy now - like a different dog. Her ribs still show but not nearly as badly. I can't believe what a difference 2.5 lbs makes.

I just love my new vet. She knows her stuff, and she's really nice too. She prescribed more hookworm medicine, and I got some for Max too (just in case he got them from Aspen).

Thanks for all the support and advice!
