The combination of medications, as well as a special supper and breakfast, has things moving again, and she’s resting more comfortably.

Annie has been understandably resting a lot the past couple of days. She was up and hanging out with Sid this morning; however, she made a couple of vocalizations that alerted Robyn and me to the fact that something was definitely off. Annie’s pain levels were high (curling her lips and clenching her jaw), her […]

I’ll start with the good news about Bea. She has been doing well at the animal hospital, and after a close evaluation, it has been determined that no further treatment is needed.  Merlin typically doesn’t play with Bea the way Kate would, so I’m sure all the downtime has been beneficial for Bea’s shoulder.  Merlin […]

There are a couple of places in this recording where the sound gets wonky due to our internet connection at the time. We’ll work on a better recording in the future, but for the few brief moments of wonky sound, most of this recording should be tolerable to watch 😉

Tomorrow, Merlin and Beatrice will go to AVC before the weather worsens in the afternoon. Getting Merlin to AVC is the top priority for tomorrow – he’s severely limping, and as the very sensitive guy he is, he’s been shaking, not from the cold. He calms down quite a bit when I comfort him, but […]
