Smokey says "Howdy". He's seems to be doing very well.
Still eating, as long as I add a little bit of Mighty dog meat &
gravy to his kibble. He takes all his medicine, but still drinks
water like he's not had any in days. I'm thinking it's his medicine.
Smokey & Maggie played for a few hours in the back yard this
morning. They almost caught a squirrel at one point.

I took them both for a short walk down the street and back.
Boy was that an experience. I lost first one leash & then the other at least once. This is going to take some practice.

Thanks for asking ( and praying) for my Smokey Man.

I really hate to ask this but the drinking water like he hasn't had any for days part, has he been checked for diabetis? It could be from the meds but I had a dog that developed diabetis and that was one of the symptom. You might want to ask your vet about this if he hasn't already been checked. Hope it's just the meds making him so thirsty. We are still keeping him in our prayers.

Oh, just shoot me at this point..I'm so far behind on PT I could scream!
Liz, my friend, I'm so sorry to be so belated in replying, yet so glad that I was able to read the good news on the Smoke-Man!

Cousin Klo and I are keeping Smokey in our prayers that recovery continues! My heart skipped a beat when I started this thread, Our sweet Smokes- met him on Day 1..he's part of our family and we love him dearly.....

Liz I feel so bad for missing this for over a MONTH OMgolly!
How is sweet Smokey?!
Kisses and gently hugs to the little man.

Not to worry guys, Smokey is feeling 100% better now.

I think I must have missed the early warning signs of his problem
because I thought maybe it was Maggie making the pee spots
inside the house. It was only when he stopped eating that it
dawned on me what was really going on. He's doing great now,
even slowed down on the water & only drinks normally. It was
the very first time he ever was really sick before & it was pretty
scary. I'll be sure to deliver the hugs & kisses anyway. Thanks.
