Sometimes I look at Oreo and think "He definitely looks better."

Sometimes I look at Oreo and think "He definitely looks better."

Other times I look up and see this and my heart breaks all over again. I have to remind myself that it's only been a week and we're taking baby steps over here. ❤️‍🩹

Whew!

Whew! The prednisone has this puppy all fidgety and needing to pee every few minutes. I'll be glad to get him home and teach him how to use the doggie door!

Good morning from this bright face. ❤️

It is really cold here. I think I'm gonna need to buy him a jacket for his trips outside and for the trip home in a few days.

I think that Oreo has had an ok day.

I think that Oreo has had an ok day. I've been trying all kinds of creative ways to get him to eat. Dog food cereal was the winner tonight. He's still taking his medicine as long as it's in icing. I finally got his dewormer meds down.

He's still resting a lot, as he should. He spends most of his time on the couch tucked in with a blanket and snoozing. His poor body has so much healing to do.

We're back at it again.

We're back at it again. He definitely wants physical contact today.

He keeps thrusting his spine into my ribs and it actually hurts quite a bit. But I'mma keep snuggling him anyway. ❤️

So, we're cuddling.

So, we're cuddling. This is more than when he rested his chin on me the other day. He initiated it, scooted in a few times, and got his head comfortable on my lap (I'm sitting kind of curled up, myself). This is good. My heart is full. 💗💗💗

He still sleeps a ton, but he looks more lively when awake. I am grateful for his progress. ❤️

I just woke up to a certain puppy barking!

I just woke up to a certain puppy barking!

He heard some other dogs outside barking and decided to join in.

He felt well enough to participate in dog things!

My heart is happy. ❤️❤️❤️
