Teresa,
he continues to be an amazing -- and a happy -- dog. We've been able to keep his breathing under control with the lasix and he's eating very well although the menu has been adjusted to include penne pasta with meatballs (our favorite) and mac & cheese
.
Here a pic I took just a few minutes ago of Rowdy laying in the hallway with his favorite girlfriend, 17-year-old Melanie Leon. They've shared a lot of wonderful times together including a lot of Therapy Hours. When she's here, he lights up.
Now I ask you: does that look like a dog that's unhappy?
Rowdy may not have much longer but his life is anything but over. He's living it every day. And he's enjoying every minute of it. There's a lesson there for all of us.
Jim
