Charlie




Our poor doggy - Charlie - is sick. He's at the vet's since yesterday evening. They are running tests to see what's wrong with him. X-rays, blood tests, barium study, IV because he was dehydrated, and a few more things. They thought at first it might be Parvo - and even though he's been vaccinated he could still contract it. They checked his blood to see if he ate a small animal that might have been poisoned, thus poisoning himself and luckily it was neither of those. But they still don't know what it is.


They are looking either for something in his stomach that he ate and can't pass OR for something outside of his stomach (like a tumor) that is pushing on his stomach. And unfortunately, it's sooooo expensive that it's hard to know how much cost is too much. I'll keep you posted.

Dogs

We now have a new dog - Charlie is a 6-year old, red, smooth coat dachshund that we rescued. He's really great! He's quickly adjusting to his new home and new best bud, Snicker. They have become pals and follow each other around. Charlie is a bit barky and when he barks so does Snicker, but we're working on that too. Here's some pictures:
