The photos on the rescue site of the little puppy we fell in love with. The second little funny face I saw was a brand new puppy who was in need of a home. Some Saturday morning we were sitting about before starting our day, and I typed in “pointer” and “south carolina” to see rescue puppies. and much like when we got Popcorn, it was not a serious or dedicated search. If something were/when something happen to Monkey, Pop would not be happy as an only child.Īs it was, we just looked around online from time to time…. Popcorn is a very family/pack driven dog. Monkey gets annoyed and wants to just relax.įurthermore, if something were to happen to Monkey, poor little Popcorn would just be crestfallen. Monkey can’t play with Pop and keep up with him, but Popcorn is 8 months old and loves Monkey so he naturally wants to play with him. Not to replace or overwhelm Monkey, but mainly because we felt a transition dog would be best. I came across a photo of him from about September – about 3 or 4 months ago – and he looks 3 years younger in that picture.Īll this made us talk about getting another dog. Unfortunately, his stamina for those things decreases by the week. His want to do things is still strong – like going to the dog park, swimming… all his favorite activities. As the vet simply said – “He is a few months shy of 11 years old and he has had seizures all his life his little body has taken a lot and hasn’t much left.” But Monkey is still in good spirits, and comfortable. None of this is really anything we can fix. His white blood cells were super high, and 2 of the 4 panels they did on his kidneys rendered a very, very, bad result. No matter the amount of phenobarbital he is taking (32.4mg for the last year at 30 lbs) his counts were terribly, frighteningly low. His body is not absorbing nutrients through food, and he is not digesting well. We found his liver is not processing protein.
Monkey hasn’t been doing well, and after a emergency run to a vet the day after Christmas, we learned he would not be improving. After we found out about our Monkey’s health, we began to think about some things. Jon and I had been casually had been looking online at dogs and puppies. We now have a a big dog party at our house!!
Written & illustrated by PD Eastman and published as a Dr, Seuss Beginner Book, shares the interactions of a bunch of dogs who do a variety of activities together like driving cars, skiing, swimming, boating, play instruments, play tennis, wearing fancy hats, and enjoy a huge dog party in the top of a tree! It’s a great book! “Go, Dog, Go!” is one of my all time favorite children’s books.
