Sick dog

Our dog Frisco was back at the veterinarian's office, having spent much of Stephanie's spring break week home with stomach problems - including not eating, vomiting all night Tuesday night, and then today diarrhea. I probably didn't help matters by insisting that Frisco go out for a long walk in the rain at 5:30 this morning. Dr. Kaur and we thought Frisco was suffering a recurrence of pancreatitis, started when he got to some chicken meat in the garbage last week. He had even suffered a seizure this morning. But apparently that was not it. I picked Frisco go up tonight and took him for a short walk in the Meijer's parking lot and inadvertently discovered the video function on the digital camera. Frisco had gotten his epilepsy medication intravenously (he had been throwing it up), and he was sent home with some anti-nausea medication. He seemed well when I picked him up and he was energetic you'll notice on the short walk and he was happy to be home. But by now he's a little tired and clingy.

Poor doggie! He doesn't look too well.
The start of my spring break this week began with a dog biting me while I was biking home on Friday. This dog and his 2 cohorts have been terrorizing the Lakeview dr (Lake Bradford) neighborhood since 3 years ago when the same dog bit me but didn't break skin. Well, this time he did so I had to call 911. The sheriff's dept, EMS and LC Animal Control came out. The dog has to be quarantined and the owners stated they will give him away to another home. Why don't they just fence their property? Obviously the electric "invisible" hasn't been effective.
