Tucker's Feeling Better & Sophie's New Toy

Hi All - I know my posting has been intermittent, but we've been going through some good personal and location changes, so I look forward to catching you up and posting some new things...

Well, we had quite a scare with Tucker on Monday night.  He had had a big day...bath in the morning and then Vet follow up afterwards, but nothing prepared us for being at the Pet Emergency room that night!  It all came on so sudden!  His chest was rattling and he was retching.  Some $$$ later he had X-rays and Bloodwork - we're so thankful for the excellent care!  He had pneumonia!!!!  The ER Vet said that he aspirated on water or something.  Our regular Vet said that sometimes older dogs have a hard time controlling their trachea, so I hope it doesn't happen again.


Our Vet is following up with us daily and he even took multiple calls from me yesterday.  Tucker wasn't keeping much down and he wasn't interested in eating, poor guy.  But, now he is lying beside and ate this morning and I've seen so much improvement just today.


On the Sophie side, she got a new toy today.  I went down to the office and our favorite lady, "T", gave Sophie and Tucker toys - see how she enjoyed them!!
