Baby Healer

Posted by Susie Felber

Stan the dog is sick.  And we are sick over it.  We've been to the vet, been told he most likely has heart disease, he's gotten I.V. fluids, X-rays and a B12 shot, antibiotics...but we won't know until he has a sonogram what exactly is going on.  I'm tempted but not going to write a swan song for him yet.  I waiver between thinking it's over -- and crying a lot and yes even praying -- and convincing myself it's just an infection and will clear up and this heart thing is not very serious.  

Stan's been curled up in a heap, often in closets, and Hugo chooses to sit with him.  Sometimes Hugo also tries to make his dog bed more comfortable, by dragging a blanket in.   Here are the two closet cases in action, follwed by a rather embarrassing picture I took of Stan for Hugo's baby shower invites. 

 

Night Internet.   I will try to keep it together and keep you posted.

xoxo,

Sorry to hear about doggie.  That's a really adorable picture of him with the welcome basket!
