Sunny, windy and cold in morning, brief AM run (the wind was too much for me, though the dogs including Ginger had a grand time ... Ginger shot out of her pen, ran almost 3/4 of the way around the property then joined the rest of us at pond...) back to trailer, gave Ginger AM meds, got food for all dogs, fed, kenneled, went to work. Husband took Ginger to local vet for CBC mid afternoon, Said they had a hard time drawing blood ... but didn't say why... but she's still gaining weight, up to 45.4 lbs!!! (less than 3 lbs below her pre illness weight!) Local vet FAXed results to oncologist, will call me tomorrow to see if we're good for Thursday appointment. Arrive home late after dark, dogs kenneled, Ginger inside, gave her evening meds and snack (scrambled egg, canned dog food), brushed her, she's now snoozing. ... fixed supper, of course Ginger woke right up and came to the kitchen .. gave her some ground turkey broth and a few cubes of cheese ... she needed to go outside, drank water (for some reason she prefers drinking out of the bucket outside) ran off into the night, presumably had a pee, then returned and is snoozing again.
A good day!
Thanks for the suggestions on doggie clothes, and, a big thanks to granny Sam in NC who has said she'll send me some fleece jackets her (now departed) Akita Sugar Bear wore (for hair loss) ... hopefully they'll fit or I can make them fit!
Your prayers, love and support for my beautiful red girl have made this past month a wonderful experience for both of us ... out of the darkness, light!
