New clothes!

Oh dawg...mom got me clothes to wear!!! And she has plans for more! I had to go back to the doctor last week...and they gave me a BATH! I have never been so humiliated in my entire life.

The good news is Dr. Russell said "I think he looks a LOT better!" Mom said that filled her heart with hope. :)

Twice a day Mom gives me a prednisone pill. The side effects are HORRIBLE. Unquenchable thirst...and mom thinks this is a side effect, too, but suddenly I think poo is the best tasting stuff EVER! I like it as much as mom likes her Godiva chocolate. I could eat a whole pile of that stuff.

The concerning thing is that I weighed in THREE POUNDS less after two weeks of treatment. And that was with a full bladder! I dropped from 90 to 87 pounds in two weeks. And I've been eating A LOT!

Here are some pics of me in my new tummy warmer fleece. It's a little chilly in my crate area, and since I have to wear a cone on my head, mom knows I can't take this thing off and eat it. Which is exactly what I would like to do.

DO NOT TELL MOM, but I think I really like it! I was so cozy and warm last night, I slept all night long. For the first time in like...two weeks!

Mom's friend Sheryl is going to help her make some other things for me to wear so I have some options. Thank goodness for good friends. I've seen the dog beds she tried to sew.

Let it snow!

As promised, I went looking for some photos to post so I can show you how much I've grown. One of my happiest memories was the time we got a lot of snow. I loved playing in the snow!!

See how big and handsome I am!

My favorite thing to do was help Daddy out with his sled.

Hank did not like sledding.

Yep, this is me...back in the day. Mom didn't notice it before, but look closely at my chinny-chin-chin. Bumps. They are still there today...maybe my skin condition had started way back in 2010?

I tried to find more photos to show you how much fun we have here on the farm..but mom has been super obsessed with our horses. All I can find are pictures of them!

I'm back!

Yowza! It's been a while since mom let me blog. Something called Facebook was taking up her computer time. That's okay, cause I was having a blast running and playing and digging up the yard. Until one day last June when I tore my cruciate ligament. mom took be to see Dr. Russell that very day. He said I needed TPLO surgery, but when mom didn't have the thousands of dollars for that he said we might have a window of opportunity to let it heal on its own. That began a long time of crate rest. I could only go outside if I was on a leash and only for potty breaks. No fun! And talk about depressing! I got about as good as I could get, my leg can support me and I can run and play again. That's the good news. The bad news is that I am sick again. I don't know why, maybe it was the stress of the leg injury. Maybe it is unrelated. Dr. Russell took a look at me and said he thinks I have an auto disease. What? I love riding in the car! Oh, mom just explained...it's complicated. It is an auto-immune disease. We don't know which one. I need some tests done to find out. Dr. Russell was really concerned. He put me on prednisone to see if it helps while mom saves up for the tests. My skin is dry and my hair is thinning. I don't feel good most days. The good news is that mom is letting me eat some special food that is very good for me. She wants me to gain some weight! I love to eat and sleep and eat and sleep. Well, gotta go...mom said she will post some new pics soon so you can see how much I've grown and what I have been up too. Wags-n-kisses, Kolten
