Update on Maggie
Thanks so much for all of your prayers for Maggie. She’s home now, on antibiotics and anti-seizure meds. So far, so good. The tests never did show anything terribly out of whack, but we go back next Thursday (the 21st) for a check-up. For now, she just seems a little mopey, but then she is 10 years old, so I guess it’s okay if she’s slowing down a little.
Little Lamb: Another Ice Cream Stand Friend
Isn’t he cute? He’s a poodle / terrier mix. Just 10 weeks old, he lives with an Hispanic family, and she gave me the dog’s name in Spanish, which I won’t attempt to spell, but it translates as “Little Lamb”. The perfect name for this little sweetie!
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Lions and tigers and…dogs???
Check out these lion clubs playing at the Colorado Wildlife Sanctuary with some of the 13 dogs who live there. This sounds kind of familiar to me, but I’m not sure if I posted it before. (And yes, I am too lazy to look for it!) Sorry if it’s a duplicate – but worth watching a second time, if it is. The clip is from the Today Show.
Until next time,
Good day, and good dog!

Maggie the Golden Retriever is Down but Not Out
Poor Maggie. My beautiful 10-year old Golden Retriever just didn’t seem right on Tuesday, so we took her to the vet. She had a fever of 105.9 (which later topped out at 107F), and she had begun having seizures. We thought for sure she had brain cancer, but her bloodwork was normal, and a chest X-ray was clear.
