Grace

Poor Miss Grace. If it is not one thing around here, it's another! Grace is doing a bit bettter today. She is still not eating, not even the baby food. Last Thursday I took her in because she was coughing a bit and vomiting. They said she had pnemonia! She had a fever of 105 at that point. Dogs are normally 100.5. They sent her home on antibiotics, a pill for upset tummy, and a pill for pain and fever. Well, yesterday I took her back in because she started having black bloody stools, crusty nose and eyes, and not eating at all. Turns out the pain reducer pill gave her an ulcer! The pnemonia is still there and a bit worse. They gave her 2 antibiotics, a pill for the ulcer, and drops for her eyes now, (she has scratched both lenses). She had a good night, and this morning went outside without being carried. She still wags that little tail fast as ever when I tell her she is beautiful. Funny how our dogs are so much like our kids. Some people just have a dog, we have 4 more kids here. Speaking of kids, all 4 kids are finally home together again. Mandi came home last Sunday, now her car is here for her too. It was a big step for her to drive from Colorado to Utah on her own! Now they can all enjoy the last few weeks of their summer vacation. I know I am not bothered that school starts soon. I am so very excited! Take care everyone!
