Reggie is batting a thousand…each new month, another illness. Really, honestly, truly this is a trend I’d rather we’d avoid. Since Reggie has a permanent liver problem and now has a red-blood cell count problem, I can’t say that Reggie goes from perfect health to really sick at the drop of the hat, but I [...]

Today is Reggie’s 12th birthday! Miracles really do happen. He almost died twice this winter, but here he is doing a lot of bouncing and running around for an old man! I had decided to make a little video to post showing our weekend driving, but I decided to switch it to a Reggie-themed video for [...] I learned something new about my Canon SD500 point-and-shoot camera. I learned that turning off the digital zoom has to be done twice: once for still images and once for movies. First, that’s stupid and a poor design! Second, this was not the video to have learned that on because it ended up pixilating a [...] Late last week Reggie got sick again with another bout of pancreatitis. It's probably my fault…I was thinking he was doing great! Silly me for thinking that way. Luckily we caught it earlier and he didn't get as sick as last time, which is great. However, the vets decided he needed to be on an [...] Reggie woke me up at 5:00 A.M. needing to go out. This was the first time since last Monday's crash that he did this. And, he was straining to have a bowel movement, which was a sign of problems last week. This made me nervous heading into his 10:00 A.M. vet appointment. Reggie is also [...] Since Reggie's illness last week I've been scrambling to get caught up. I don't know if I'll ever make it, but I'm trying. If I owe you an email or a call, I hope it will be coming soon. Tomorrow morning Reggie and I go back to the vet's for follow-up blood work. Late last week [...] Reggie is home and resting peacefully. Wow! Just yesterday morning they were asking me how much effort I wanted to put into keeping him alive. That was when they suspected leukemia or cancer. Once those were eliminated, and the focus shifted to severe pancreatitis and bad infection, his chances improved, but they are still shocked [...] Reggie and I both are wiped out exhausted, but he's the only one smart enough to be in bed sleeping. Sigh. A quick update. Reggie was not well this morning, so the vets changed his anti-biotic. This seemed to help. His temperature has dropped some…very good…and he looks better. His ultra sound showed an enlarged liver [...] Reggie had been doing pretty well; except needing to go out more often because of his new dog food. But then…powie. Reg woke me up at 3:17 AM Monday morning to go out. He seemed fine, but when we went in for his already scheduled vet appoinment at 10 AM Monday morning I warned the vet [...] Since you couldn't really get the full effect of Reggie's haircut in yesterday's picture, here's another photo. In this Reggie demonstrates his eating style: snarfing, not savoring. Don't you wish you had a Reggie too? |
