New treat puzzle

Hey you with opposable thumbs, can you help me get this treat out of this crazy puzzle?

Issue for Blue

In early November, we got confirmation through a blood test that Blue had Cushing disease caused by an Adrenal tumor.   With an added complication that he has sludge in his gallbladder attempted to become a mucocle.   None of this is good news.

He remains a "happy camper", which makes me slower to want to consider treatment that may cause him to decline.

And so, there will be more photos and more videos trying to preserve and capture our time with him.

Couch Time with Blue

I'd rather be sitting between you getting all the attention than the floor.  I'm a smart boy.

Pet Blessing 2019

Our annual pet blessing was a nice event, in spite of the cold weather that blew in.  We held it up close to the church building to shelter from the winds.

Vacationing with Blue

We took a road trip with Blue

Our trip included a stop at Hearts United for Animals (HUA).  This organization rescued Gracie from a Nebraska puppy mill and I’d always wanted to see their operation.  They are an amazing group of people.

A few favorite trip photos: 

A happy boy out at the park

Such a good boy everywhere we stayed.   So proud of our little traveler.

Rest stop on the trip

We had breakfast and shared some with Blue.  We discovered  that he prefers to drink out of the bottle. Who knew? It’s been good to be on this trip together and enjoying each other‘s company.

Can I have some too?

Blue says “I also like popsicles. Can I have some?”

Happy Birthday - Gotcha Day!

Celebrating Blue's arrival!   He looks slightly annoyed that he had to sit to get a treat on his birthday - who does that?

Before and After Grooming

It's time to go to the groomer.   We have a pep-talk about that.

And here he is all groomed up and ready for the 4th of July!

Time with Blue

We are adjusting to being a one dog house for now.   I'll keep my eyes / heart open but for now, we are going to enjoy our Blue dog.

Company for Blue

Hoping the Pooh Bear will keep Blue company.  He misses Indigo.

It was with a sudden event that we had to say goodbye to Indigo.    She had a blood clot on 2/15/19 and we had to say goodbye on 2/27/19.
