Scoot's first day home...

So yeah I got him yesterday and that was good. It was really nice just to have him back in the house with us (even though all he does is sleep, but hey - I completely understand). He still can't walk very well... he staggers and stumbles and falls a lot... I'm not sure if it's the Ivermectin still in him, or if it's from him not really moving all week, or if he can't see (his eyes still look pretty dilated), or if he's just weak from the whole situation, or if it's just a combination of all of those things. He's eating and drinking well, though, and he'll come to me if I ask him to so he's doing much better than he has been. I'm very proud of him for his progress and for being such a fighter. He's such a good boy and I am THRILLED to have him home.

Well, other than that things seem ok. I talked to the vet and they agreed to split the bill down the middle... They said that it wasn't my fault he got sick (ummm, YEAH)... but they said it wasn't their fault either; that they couldn't have known that was going to happen. Nevermind the fact that he obviously looks to be one of the breeds that has trouble with Ivermectin, or the fact that there are simple tests they could do to tell if he was particularly sensitive to it... Apparently, I still wholeheartedly believe that it was indeed their fault, but I'm glad (even if they didn't come right out and say it) that they accepted some responsibility for it.

Well, one more thing and then I'll end this one. For those of you who haven't seen my bulletin - Wednesday after 5:00 there will be a little "Welcome Home Scooter" thing. It's not really planned to be a party (I'm too broke at the moment to throw a party), but anyone who would like to visit him or come by and hang out is welcome to do so. If you are interested send me a message and I'll give you my number and some directions. And thanks again to everyone who has shown so much love and support. I have some of the best friends ever! I'll have to do something great for all of you when I'm less broke, for real.

Love,

Blu
