Hang in there. I pray that you will get a sign so you are sure which steps need to be taken next.

I am so sorry that Puddy is not doing any better. The Dunn gang will keep the prayers going and hope they will be answered they way we all want.

Yesterday morning she came downstairs by herself when I called out "Breakfast!". This morning, though, she came out of her carrier but no farther. I carried her downstairs and she ate w/the rest of the Fur Posse but as soon as she was done, upstairs and into her carrier she went. When I was flossing my teeth, she was sitting on the bathroom countertop, as usual, and she batted at my floss, so I pulled a string off and draped it over her head playfully and she played w/it for several minutes. I watched her the entire time so that she wouldn't swallow it and choke. It seems, though, that the slightest effort tires her out and she just sat down and I could tell she was so tired. Last night I walked into the bathroom w/a half eaten fudgesicle and as soon as she saw it, she chirped like a little bird and perked her head up, so I held it while she licked it and that tongue was really going to town. (She and the entire Fur Posse have turned up their noses at Frosty Paws, so I guess I'll give it to my girlfriend to see if her pets like it.) She'll get another Epogen injection tomorrow, so we'll see how she does. She did come into bed w/me for a brief time but she just can't seem to get comfortable. She wants a noggin noogie but as soon as I start to give her one, she pulls away. I thought maybe she wanted to just sit on my lap or lie next to me but she just can't sit still. She jumps down and goes back into the bathroom. So, I'm taking all the little things as positive signs but when she comes downstairs and walks into the patio room, then I'll know that she's indeed improving and feeling better.

I kinda had my doubts that Puddy would like Frosty Paws, but then you never know. Years ago I had 3 Lhasas and only one would eat it. If I remember correctly, it is pretty hard, and they preferred the softer ice cream treats like Puddy does (people variety).

I have to check for your posting every day to check her progress. She sounds a little better and a little is better than nothing. When one gets to be a senior it seems forever to make a comeback when you get down (I speak from my own experiences!!). You're both in my thoughts and prayers!

And Sparky and Myndi are sending big doggie kisses.
