Peaches Update!

I took Peaches to the vet on Tuesday morning and she got her staples out and no longer has to wear the Cone of Shame! Yay!!!!

She's much happier. I spent a little time out in the yard after I brought her home, and she was having a blast, racing around and eating rose hips (which I'm sure are NOT on her diet!) while I pruned back the roses for the winter and dragged off some fallen limbs.

Her hair hasn't grown back yet--you can still see where her IV was--but she's out running around and harassing the cats just like she always did. As cold as it's been, she'll have to spend her nights inside, but I'll be letting her out some during the day. The vet said we could start adding regular puppy food back into her diet, but I tried giving her some of that soft food that comes in a pouch as a treat, and she still doesn't think it's edible. Go figure. A dog that will eat rose hips, but not dog food. Rose hips are supposed to be high in Vitamin C, though. Maybe she's trying to eat healthy. God knows that moist and meaty stuff doesn't seem very meaty. I tasted it once and it's a bit like eating springy cardboard.

Yes, the Cat Master has tasted dog food, which might have been better for me than the sugar free chocolate I ate a while ago. It must be full of mannitol or sorbitol because it's got my belly rumbling like crazy.

So much for eating healthy. . .
