Oh what a difference a day makes; that is if you have the correct medication. Tried one which really didn't have more than several hours carry over effect. Tried another and.......'he's back'; Chief is back. Back to giving kisses, looking at me as if he 'now sees me', more contented and I suspect feeling much less painful. With the new medication comes added concerns, BUT I can monitor these through frequent blood tests and setting up his life so that he doesn't physically injure himself while at the same time allowing for him to get the exercise he needs in order to continue to enjoy a high quality of life. This part is at least in my control.

The following are After New Medication pictures. Can you tell the difference? I certainly can and I'm loving it. It is amazing how the 'world once again becomes a great place to be' when a loved one improves.

Of course I have to share a few pics of Susie.
