Chevy is doing soooooo well!
Her appetite is improving almost by the minute. After the handful of kibble last night, she finished her handburger and butter, all but the last few ounces. So this morning I gave her a third a can of some iams chunks food and another handful of kibble. I came home this evening after a long day of errands and it was all gone!!

I of course, promptly gave her a new bowl. She dove into it, eating on some of the kibble before deciding that she had just finished her other meal not too long ago. I am confidant that she will finish the rest of it later this evening. Her first real meal in weeks!!!

LOL, she is laying on the floor in the study being a real puppy. She rolled around feeling the cool floor and then started chewing on a local piece of paper. She looked up at the big dog (My great dane Strider) and let out a little bark. The other dogs thought this meant something was wrong and jumped up barking in turn to go investigate. She sighed, looked where they went and then sat for a few moments watching the ceiling fan.

Then, without much warning she jumped up and went walking around the room. She had a real milestone in her recovery (and forgive this if it seems grose). She had her first bowel movement in at least 4 days! It was a big one! I am so happy for that. It means that her intestines and digestive system are back up in full gear. Means she is digesting some of these nutrients she is finally taking in again!

I am very excited for her recovery. She seems to much more bright and alert. Her energy level is improving and she actually sits up each time I walk in the room.

Doing well!!

Sorry, no new pictures today. Maybe tomorrow.
