Status Quo In The Senior Household4
All is well here. We continue to have our ups and downs with good days and bad days. It has been cold here in sunny Florida, but Bailey loves the cold, despite the fact it probably aggravates his arthritis. He has had a few days with some whimpers, but his muscle relaxer here and there helped.
I have moved furniture again in the house to add more rug area. Bailey’s remaining back leg clearly gets tired, particularly trying not to slip on the tile. We have had a little problem teaching Bailey the new layout as his eyesight is pretty shot, but I think he is managing; he also seems to have a little bit off an easier time now that he has more rug area.
Both dogs continue to receive fluids weekly for their kidney failure. We continue to have some upset tummies here and there, but for the most part they are both doing well.
Thanks for keeping us in the loop!
And heck yeah, overall they ARE doing well!
I love that Bailey is invigorated by the cooler weather and refuses to let his arthritis hold him back. I’m glad to rugs are helpng hi too.
You’re a good mom! Your love is what keeps them going!
Sending lots of love to “the home for seniors”!

He is a trooper alright. He still loves to play pretending my arm is a chicken bone…19 years later and still not a mark from him. I have to put a sweater on Prancer who shivers when there is even a little nip in the air.
It’s so good to know what’s going on. With all you have to do, I’m always amazed that you find the time to keep us updated. Thank you!
Your devotion and love is beyond measure, you have got to be the most dedicated pawrent in the Universe. Really!
If there were a Dog Pawrent of the Year Award, you would certainly get it.
Many many hugs to all of you!
Gosh. Thank you for that huge compliment, but I am not sure I am worthy. I read blogs here all the time and am always so impressed with what everybody does. It is so nice to see how we all love our pups when there are so many sad stories out there about our four legged friends. It is nice to see a community of people who love their animals.
