The Skinny On Sunday Or Monday

Many of you won't read this until Monday, but I'm up late on Sunday trying to catch up on my week-plus of vacation.

Sadly, I report that my friend's two dogs, Nala and Champ, were both hit by cars and crossed The Rainbow Bridge soon after they escaped their yard.  When I posted here, the only information available was about Champ.  Thank you for your warm thoughts for the family.😢

Unhappy Chuck, at the vet's office

On Saturday, Chuck and I visited the veterinarian, who took radiographs of his chest.  There are shadows around his lungs, meaning fluid has accumulated. The Hubby had already increased his dosage of Enalapril (blood pressure), and the vet wanted an increase in Spironolactone (water pill) too.  She gave me her work email, to let her know how Chuck responds to these changes.  We made an appointment for a new heart and lung echocardiogram in a month.

Chuck has lost weight since his last visit, and after Saturday's appointment, he's been sleeping more and not eating much.  Perhaps my return to a regular work schedule will help get him back on track. And of course, Angel is hissing at him (and me!)

And yet, in spite of it all, we as a family had lovely weather to enjoy snuggles, walks around parks, and visits to outdoor farmer's markets and shopping.

Love these banks of flowers!
They are everywhere.

Angel, getting some summer whiffies!

Back to work!

Help Us Find Nala!

My dear friend's two dogs got out of their fenced backyard yesterday.

Unfortunately, Champ was hit by a car and left for The Rainbow Bridge.

Nala, a female labrador mix, is still missing.  The family has been in contact with local law enforcement, animal control, and veterinary offices in the area.  If you or someone you know lives in Macomb Township, Michigan...please pass along this post, so we can get Nala home again.

Needless to say, her family is devastated by this twin tragedy.

Angel Champ, R.I.P.

Nala is a cutie!

Thank you very much!
