    I hope Boo is just having one of his bad spells again. He's hanging his head like a horse as he did before. He doesn't appear to be dehydrated but Dr. Lee said that he may need fluids so I guess I'll be brave and do it. You'd think I'm the one who is going to be stuck w/a needle but Boo is so thin that it breaks my heart to have to do it. I'm going to adjust his thyroid meds, too, b/c he hung his head when he was on them before. In the meantime, spare a prayer for my Boo Bear, please?
    Blessings,
    Mary

    I know it's not fun giving fluids. But we do what we have to for our babies. I never thought I'd be able to do it with Taz (he was also super skinny), but I did it. And you can too!
    I hope Boo is feeling better soon. It's so stressful when they are sick.

    Hugs to you and Boo!
    Our goal in life should be - to be as good a person as our dog thinks we are.

    Thank you for the siggy, Michelle!

    Oh I know I can do it; I did it for nearly 6 years, believe it or not, w/Puddy and then w/Pidge. It's just that he's so bone thin that I hate the thought of sticking him. Thanx for the good thought, Cindy.
    Blessings,
    Mary

    Many prayers for good health and comfort for dear Boo Bear and for you too, Mary.
