Update

Howdy blogaroos. Squirmy here to give you an update on the Coyote.

He’s definitely holding his own. He prances along on short walks. Greets visitors with a happy wagging tail, RARELY turns down a biscuit or liver treat, and still thinks chicken is better than any dog food. His appetite changes throughout the day- he may not want breakfast, but he’ll eat that meal in the afternoon. Yesterday he wasn’t big on his chicken supper, but he ate several pieces of bread instead.

He takes his pills with peanut butter and so far has no problems taking them. He thankfully has had no episodes of vomiting. He’s drinking and peeing as usual/. Poo isn’t completely P3 (picture perfect poo) but it’s not a shooting waterfall. Sorry for the visual graphic – but dog people are poo experts.

He loves to lie on the deck in the sun- and explores a bit of the backyard.

He was given enough medication for one week. The Warden will call the vet today to get a month’s worth. Actually/ she is going to get the prescriptions because- surprise- she found out that the cost of the meds at the human pharmacy are less than half than at the vet. It’s kinda helpful when you’ve got 8 prescriptions.

We’ve got some very hot weather on the way, so the jet engine fans will be working in full force.

So we’re all doing OK. The photo is of the Coyote waiting for his chicken to be cooked the day before yesterday. Yesterday he wasn’t quite as excited about the leftovers from the day before. We think he likes his food freshly cooked. He IS, after all a Picky Picard!

Plus the Boss and I are going to soon weigh 20lbs more. In an effort to get some weight on the Coyote, LOTS of treats are being distributed throughout the day. And of course, we’re right there at the treat jar. I DID catch the Warden splitting biscuits between me and the Boss, while the Coyote gets a WHOLE one. I’m keeping my eye on that behavior.

Please keep those prayers and heeling wishes coming. They ARE working.

Have a good one. Peace and paws up. Stay safe. JBJ.
