BEAR UPDATE

Well,

He's not throwing up anymore, and the diarrhea seems to have stopped. At least the worst of it.

He sleeps.

I took him for a bit of a walk in the park yesterday morning, with Remy, because I thought the fresh air and exercise may help him get his thirst or hunger back.

No luck. Although he did seem to enjoy his time.

He just sleeps.

We've been keeping a close eye on him. So far he hasn't eaten or drank anything on his own.

He is on two different medicines, which he takes twice per day. Hunny and I are vigilantly keeping them on schedule.

I'm going to call the vet this morning and just ask advice re: eating and drinking. I don't want him to dehydrate. Auntie messaged me with some really good ways to try to keep the liquids in him. Those might be very helpful this weekend.

When Bear saw his doctor on wed, they gave him an injection of fluids to help combat dehydration. Perhaps they will want to do that again today.

It could be a long weekend if our little man doesn't start feeling better.

On a really positive note, Remy shows zero signs or symptoms. The vet felt that this wasn't something she could catch. Thank goodness!

I hope that everyone has a really great weekend!

Stay healthy and happy :)

Xoxo.

SICK LIL BEAR MAN

So, poor Bear and I were up all night.

In hindsight, I wish I'd known a week ago what I know now.

Hunny and I were both so frustrated with him the last few nights, for keeping us awake and not allowing us to sleep.
What was his problem anyway? Why was he being suck a jerk? It was just the sort of thing I could see him doing outa stubborn spite.

Except.

He loves his sleep.

Well, last night the little boy and I were up all night but for an all together different reason than him being a brat.

He was terribly sick.

Bear ran to the door three times last night so that he could relieve himself of what sounded like violent diarrhea.

and vomiting.

Everything he ate came back up in chunks.

All the water he drank soon after came back up as well.

So, now he's dozing but he's empty. Has given up trying to eat or drink anything.

I'm waiting for the vet's office to open, so hopefully I can arrange for them to see his doctor today. While both myself and hunny have to work, his father is free and offered to take him down for us.

I'm concerned about him feeling so crappy, dehydrating himself before this passes, and we do not wish Remy to catch the bug either. They are cuddling now, and there's no keeping them apart. One sick dog is enough.

Will keep you posted.

FETCHING SUNDAY

Day off! Woo hoo!

I'm enjoying relaxing, chilling with cutie roomie Jess and wishing my hunny hadn't got called into work. The original Willy Wonky and the Chocolate Factory is on tv, and as a fun side note - Jess was an oompa loompa for Halloween last year. So we went through some of those pictures and had a chuckle.

We did get a chance to go play some fetch this morning! In snow, which we finally have!!! YAY! Honestly, I think that playing in the fresh snow with the family is my absolute favorite thing in the world to do. It brings me such joy~

See that man in the picture.

The one right there?

To the left?

I love him :)

Today was the first chance Remy had to play fetch since she began her cycle over a month ago.

We believe she is close to finished, if not all done, and therefore we took a chance first thing and brought the dogs out.

A really nice husky sheppard mix her age showed up as we were leaving, but hunny and I just didn't feel comfortable letting her play yet.

That was maybe a bit too risky.

Soon!

Now, shortly, cutie roomie and I are going to run to walmart and see if we can't get another winter mat to put by the door. We seem to be tracking in a bit of snow, now that it's finally here.

I love days off.

I love snow!
