We have had a quiet weekend at home. Dottie is feeling better but she is still very sick. Dr. Williams called and said the radiologist read Dottie's x-rays and said the big stone should come out. But Mum and Dr. W decided to take a "wait and see" approach. Dottie will be 16 years old in two weeks and Mum is not sure she would survive the surgery and recovery. Right now Miss Dottie has a very big strep infection in her bladder so she is on antibiotics and pain medication. So our whole focus on Dots is for her to rest, eat her special food (which looks disgusting), take her medications and rest some more. I think the angels upstairs heard our prayers because they brought us a beautiful sunny, warm day - just the kind of day Dottie loves. So she went outside and walked around the yard and looked at her apple tree.
Doesn't she look good? Dozer says he looks better but I think he is missing the point (as usual!)
This is Miss Dots watching the bird feeder - I can't figure out if she thinks a bird would be tasty or if she just likes to watch them.
All her outside activity made her tired so Dottie feel asleep on her snake toy. She missed the NCAA basketball game but Mum said to just let her rest. Mum bought Dottie a brand new orthopedic bed which is giganormous and very comfortable - but only Dottie gets to sleep on it. (So I licked it a bunch instead).
We have a big package from Moco but Mum says we will wait to open it until later in the week. We are..what did Mum say?...Oh, we are just living in the moment with Dottie and taking each day as it comes. Thank you for all your nice thoughts and prayers.

We are so glad that Dottie had a good day. We are hoping that she has many more nice days to come. Enjoy each other.
Dottie is so sweet. When my poodle was 14 he had cushing disease plus lots of other problems. Anyhoo he swallowed a 4" rawhide stick whole. Long story short I decided to have the emergency surgery to get the chewy out. They opened up his stomach to get at it.He came through it good as gold. Dogs really are amazing. Heres hoping Dottie passes it on her own.
PS..left you an award on my blog!
