Our Last Day Together

We had been taking the dogs out in shifts and we had just started going together as a family.
The other day, I heard Mike mumble something about being outside more than he was inside.
I laughed so hard, I told him we could set up a tent!
 Lucy's domain was downstairs in the house and Oz was upstairs with me...just so Lucy got peace.
But on Sunday, May 4, 2013 we had no idea it would be our last day together.  My pictures of our last day.

Sneaking up on Lucy.

Mike & Lucy playing hide and seek on Oz.
We loved Lucy so, SO much!

Eye Trim

Oz had a quick eye trim.

His eyes are cleared from hair now!  Oz is 11 weeks old.

Did I tell you how much I love this vest? 
The pockets are deep so I can carry my camera, keys, sunglasses, pooh bags, etc. in them.
Oz was 9 weeks old here. 

Signs of May

Love the pussy willows.

Where is it?

Oz thinks there's a treat in Lucy's bed.

He looks....

He digs to China...

Down under to Australia...




Can't find it!

 

Play Ball

Oz loves to play ball.

Both balls have a squeaker inside.

He tries to control both balls at the same time.

Lucy's Dr. Report

On April 29th Lucy had some testing done.

She had an abdominal ultrasound, they shaved her belly.  Lucy  is losing protein in her urine and the numbers keep going up.  We changed her food to a renal diet and she is starting medication (Benazepril) to decrease the pressure in the kidney and to hopefully reduce protein loss.  She is also taking a low-dose of aspirin to reduce the risk of clot formation.  We don't like sad news...Lucy is the queen around here. The sad news is Lucy's kidneys are failing her.  The good news is that she has outstanding health care and that is a huge comfort.  We are going to check her renal values in 2 weeks and then in another month.  We hope the numbers stop going up but she also has elevated liver enzymes and they found a splenic nodule, we don't know if it's metastatic or benign. 

Breezy Saturday

Saturday walk.

The wind just about blew everyone away.
