Yes, it's me...with a new user name..since I now have a new email address at work I had to re-register.. My big galoot folowed me every where yesterday, since I was off. Mom said, more than ever, when I'm not with him, he pouts and waits by the door all day, no food, water or movement. This is new, and it breaks my heart. If I could afford Family Leave and wasn't so uncertain about my job, I'd stay home with him. He's starting to cough a little and moan when he tries to lay on his side. I gave him his medication earlier than usual last night and it took effect and he had a peaceful night. I still get up constantly to check him. I guess it's one day at a time, what else can I do? I'm sucking up all your hugs and well wishes..thank you.
