Binx had a pretty fitful night sleeping last night, didn't touch his food AT ALL, and wouldn't get up this am. Now, the not getting up isn't a huge huge difference, as Mr. B likes to sleep in, but, I really had to encourage him. We went on our usual walk, albeit at a snail like pace. He whined a couple of times, and tried to get to his rear end, and he has, eh, a loose stool. Boo hoo hoo.

We went to the park, but, I hadn't brought any ball, cause I didn't intend to let him play. He really didn't even want to walk down the hill- which is odd, cause, he normally cuts up the whole time, once I take him off lead. So, we returned home, sadly.

Now, I put 1.5 cups down, and he tasted a morsel or two, but, is back sleeping. He hasn't eaten since Monday evening at 8 pm. My 81 pounder is going to waste away.

I will come home at lunch, and if he hasn't eaten, I might give him half a frosty paws.

I don't really like the whining- cause I don't know what he is trying to tell me. Is he in that much pain? Discomfort?

One of the things the vet suggested was that I purchase a Water Pik (for him, not me). That way, I can work on keeping the recesses of his mouthie-mouth clean. The vet suggested just letting him chew on it...then, hook it up to water. Did the vet even consider the logistics of this? Water all over the house? It should be pretty dern funny. I do have electric outside...so, maybe I will open up a dental office? Wonder if I can get one of those cool chairs? Course, Binx might need a couch, not a chair. I will get some of those postcards to mail out to Binx, reminding him of his next appointment? I don't want to be a lawyer anymore...I am going to become a DENTIST! Open wide...
