Alvin got goggles

He loves to stick his head out the window when he and my son are going places. So my son got him goggles because he’s afraid of his eyes being damaged. I can’t stop laughing.

The devil made me do it.

My son got his dog Alvin, this snood to wear when he’s eating. I can’t say Alvin is fond of it, but it’s adorable.

Alvin’s behavior has changed

We lost one of our dogs in this last week, which makes Alvin an only child now. I have noticed some interesting things. He does not bark at feeding time now. He does not lay obsessively on his chews. He just seems to be a lot quieter.

RIP Baby Thea

I posted before about Thea‘s Cushing’s disease. I finally had to have her put to sleep. During the daytime it was still manageable but at night she got terrified and nothing would comfort her. She took 11 pills a day plus the liquid she got twice a day. Nothing seemed to be working.
I knew it was bad when she stopped eating her beloved greenies. Still with all that said, euthanizing her was the hardest decision I’ve ever made. I know it was for the best, but I still feel an incredible amount of guilt. I keep seeing her precious little face and it’s tearing me up. Anyway, thanks for listening.

The mighty hunter rests in his lair with his kill.

He lays in his lair with his chew bone and dad’s underwear to wipe his snout. It’s been a long day stalking and killing.

Comments about Alvin

I had to have my Cairn Terrier put down today because of Cushing’s disease. She and Alvin never really played together or cuddled so I did not think he would miss her much. Apparently I was wrong. He has wandered around moping and has been very quiet, which is unusual for him. I feel bad for misjudging the little guy.

RIP Queen Thea

I have posted about Theas Cushing Disease several times. It progressed very rapidly. She has not been able to sleep at night. She whines and screams and was terrified. Today I had to make the hard decision to let her go. My heart is broken. RIP my baby girl.

Update on Theas Cushing's

I feel like we are barely keeping up with it. They finished the testing and the vet says her cortisone levels were incredibly high. Her meds keep up with it for a while then she spirals again. I am at a loss as to what to do. During the day she does pretty good, but at night she loses it. Sorry just had to vent.

His highness’s bed had wrinkles.

This is Lord Alvin‘s bed. It consists of a platform that lifts it off the ground. A soft orthopedic mattress and a blanket to cover the whole lot. He will sit there and glare at me until I fix the blanket.

The miracle of bacon.

Having Cushing’s disease, Thea really struggles with fireworks. However, I have noticed that she is coming out to look at the oven every time I open the door to see if the bacon is done. The healing properties of bacon are incredible.

Another update on Thea’s Cushing disease.

She is going in for her last blood test to see if they need to up the medication. It has helped a lot except for around times like this when the fourth is coming up and they have to start a war outside my house.
I love her so much and it’s hard to see her afraid like this.
