Allie Update for Saturday

Allie in 2007 -when we first got her
Allie is much better!  Dr. Ware gave her Rimadyl which is basically an arthritis med.  She went from hiding behind the red chair in my office to running out to the garage to greet Aunt Jean last night!  She attempted to perform her eye-ectomy with her new toy last night (removing all the eyes from toys is her hobby) and overall is better.

We have used Rimadyl for Reese before and it was also effective.  It works, not as an opiate (Tramadol) but as an NSAID and the extent of my knowledge on this topic is now exhausted.

We had a lovely evening here with Aunt Jean last night and she is generously sharing some of her art with me!  Will be shopping for frames this week.

Have also lost another pound (official weigh-in is tomorrow) but feeling very healthy and good about the discipline.   Now if I could only get back on the bike -- I keep blaming the weather, but it is pure sloth as the deterrent!

Worked a lot on CFA things this past week.  Disappointed that the HSUS will not prioritize chaining at the state or national level, as they have done in the past.   Plan to cover that topic and others in my newsletter this month.

Going to a  big art show in New Smyrna Beach tomorrow (with Aunt Jean) but will not leave Allie alone for very long.  We had to cancel our St. Pete trip to the Dali museum, etc. for now but will reschedule when she is doing better.
