]]>What's the best photo you took this year? Show and tell
For the first time in a long time I'm appreciating and enjoying the cold, wet weather we've been having. It's a wonderful change and we do need the rain.
We've been hanging out indoors playing board games and catching up on HBO's The Wire series by viewing season four. I can't begin watching the new season 5 without viewing it in sequence. I'm anal this way!
Aside from this Nobuku's continuing his recovery. He has shown slight weight increase which we're very thankful for. It's taken about three months and he still receives an appetite stimulant every third day. The acupuncture ended the first of the year and his balance - while still wobbly - is much steadier and he walks a lot better.
Everything in moderation, yea?

...on Tuesday and Friday with Nobuku maintaining the progress made. We are no longer taking two steps back for each step gained.
We're holding our ground and it feels good to not wonder when the other shoe will fall.
His appetite is still off and he requires an appetite stimulant but his curiosity is back and he's talking to me again! I love it when he talks to me and lets me know that I'm doing something wrong...like not paying attention to him.
Thank God for the blessings.
treatment for the next three weeks.We drop him Monday, Wednesday and Friday and retrieve him in the evening. He has responded quite well considering his right leg was practically just dangling and not supporting him. He initially had acupuncture in Spring 2006 and now that his strength is much improved the vet felt acupuncture was the next logical step. I'm excited and hopeful that this will give him relief from pain while stabilizing is hind leg muscles from atrophying.
Yesterday Nobuku (my cat) was looking so much better, still not eating the dry food on his own, but we take the smallest improvements as leaps.
Today he'd eaten dry food on his own while we were at work. He meowed at us as we walked past, indicating he was hungry for wet food. We placed some on a plate and he ate! He also meowed to see where in the house we were, since he was alone in the living room.
All things he hasn't done in a very long time. So, today was a fabulous day!
Thank you, Lord.
...arthritic today and unhappy about the unscheduled vet visit. I know, I am a bad mom! However, Little Girl is doing alright despite her chemo treatment. We received reassurance from our neighbor who had given her dog daily chemo treatments, whereas LG is on three and off four once daily. He appetite has diminished slightly, but she's hydrated, alert and still eating. The gal at the vet's told us "Funny, Nobuku was walking just fine when we treated him." Aha, I bet he was! LOL
Gorgeous autumn-like day to play outside!
One good thing about Nobuku is he loves the heat! Posting photos from my cell phone is just too convenient.
