Six Weeks and Counting

It’s been over six weeks since the surgery and it’s nice to report that life in our house has gotten back to normal.  Toby doesn’t quite trust his skill coming back through the dog door so sometimes he just sits outside.  It’s kind of strange because there is no height differential.  I think the stained concrete floors feel slick and he’s afraid of slipping so I’ve put down rugs but he still is apprehensive – oh well, another adjustment we’ll learn to live with.

He’s a week into his second round of chemo and is feeling good.  This morning his appetite wasn’t quite as good but I think he was holding out for what we had for breakfast (eggs, bacon, etc).  I saved a small amount and put it in his bowl then he ate what I had prepared for him.  His meals are very good since all of this started.  I make homemade dog food – cooked turkey seasoned with garlic powder, brown rice, cottage cheese, mixed veggies, omega oil, brewer’s yeast – heck, when I get it mixed together, I’m tempted to try it .  I combine it with high quality dry food and he is a happy pup.

His spirits are good.  He just loves us so much so if we will just sit on the floor and play with him and pet him – he’s in heaven.  The hide and seek game Buck plays with the ball is entertaining to all!

Every day is a gift – we will hope for many more happy ones ahead of us!
