So we found out today...

So we found out today that Oreo doesn't like hats - on people. 😂 I don't know what my brain was doing, but when Taimi told me that he didn't like hats I was like "Ok. Good to know. We won't put hats on him." 😂😂😂 Anyway, he growled at one of her guests with a hat, but was fine with her once she took it off, thank goodness.

Oreo is looking pretty great. He's filling in nicely. Aunt Taimi is taking him to the vet next week to see if he can be vaccinated yet. He might also restart doxycycline so we can get on top of his heartworm treatment. I'm pretty excited for him.

Look at this sweet boy. Look how well he's doing! ❤️❤️❤️

Aunt Taimi said that Oreo has been a great dog having a great day. 😊

I might hold off on the daily updates unless there is something to tell or a photo to share. With the holidays upon us and him on the mend it's a busy time and things are going well. Consider no news to be good news.

In the meantime I'll be counting down the days until I see him again. If everything goes as planned I'll have him home in about 2 weeks. I have missed him a ton, but I'm so grateful he's been with Aunt Taimi. I truly believe that she and her network saved his life and I will never be able to thank her enough.

❤️❤️❤️

Yesterday was cloudy and cold and rainy...

Yesterday was cloudy and cold and rainy and it was snowing on the mountain and I was NOT a fan. Today it's back to sunny. It's 50°F out right now, but even when the temperature is lower it's still usually nice to be out when the sun is.

On average we have about 310 sunny days every year. We do get rain and snow, but those clouds are usually just passing through rather than sticking around like they did yesterday.

I am so spoiled. I definitely should NOT complain about 55 little cloudy days. 😂😂😂 Let me go be quiet now. 😂

Our sweet Oreo cookie has had another great day.

From Aunt Taimi:  He's played a little, barked a lot, slept, ate, came around for more cuddles....he's been hanging with the girls all day long and doing amazing.

I hear he only had one coughing fit, so hopefully he'll be over the kennel cough soon.

I am so excited for this precious boy. I bet he feels better than he has in ages. ❤️❤️❤️

Oreo is doing really great today.

Oreo is doing really great today. Still no vomiting, healthy appetite, and he ate his meals and snack today without begging for more food or raiding the trash.

I bet this is the longest he's gone without throwing up since before I picked him up. If he was having vomiting / gut issues as well as having to scavenge for food, then it's no wonder he was so thin. I really don't think he would have lasted much longer on the streets.

Anyway, look at this handsome face. You can just tell he feels so much better. ❤️❤️❤️

Featured is sister Kiwi. She's a playful girl and it looks like she's trying to entice him to play with her and her ball. 😂

To quote Aunt Taimi about Oreo:

To quote Aunt Taimi about Oreo:  "He's had a most excellent day."

I am so glad to hear it. He didn't have any anti-nausea meds today at all and is down to every other day on Prednisone. He let her know he was ready for dinner early and other than that has been a good boy.

My heart is happy. Maybe our boy is finally on the mend! ❤️❤️❤️

Edited:  Look at these snuggles!

I haven't had caffeine in like, almost a year...

I haven't had caffeine in like, almost a year... Except for the day before I had my last migraine a few months back. I had my first matcha tea that day and (stupidly) assumed that it had less caffeine than black tea and that was NOT the case. Lesson learned.

Shaun wanted to go out for breakfast this morning. I thought "I guess I'll grab a tea." I got Earl Grey - hot, and took it home to put in my milk.

I put maybe 4 TABLESPOONS of tea in a 22 ounce cup of milk.  I haven't even drank half of that yet.

That might sound like nothing... but I am FEELING it. For better or worse I am existing in Fast Forward for the next little while. 😂😂😂

That's crazy to me. Hopefully, there will be no headache. I guess I need to really be careful and only have caffeine on days that I am sluggish, not just because it sounded nice. 😬 I need to see if I can find decaffeinated versions of some of my favorites.
