Patrice, congratulations. As you say, what a wonderful gift for you and, I have no doubt, a wonderful gift to those that Willie will help. I know very little really about therapy dogs, visiting sick, elderly? That sort of thing. What exactly will Willie be doing.
Again, congratulations.

Chubby Ollie sounds so gorgeous, I just want to squeeeeeeeeeze him.
Sheena, fancy opening the door for Limpy Dan!!! Now come on. My clumsy dopey-drawers hurt one of his feet this morning NOT running like an exocet missile but doing a fairly slow inspection of the park. I’m not even sure which foot it is. But he can come after me for treats so it’s not too bad I’m sure.
Linda, absolutely about the pred I think. I’m now topping up Bingo’s foods as his weight has dropped.

Hi Ashley, wanted to get a quick link up to the forum for you.
Can you tell us about Lola:
What weight is she?
Is she on any meds yet?
What sort of tests has she had. If you have a copy, you can post them through the urgent link, the same way you sent the urgent advice email or you can list them here.
Do you know what her present PCV is (her blood readings).
We’ve all been through this and it’s terrifying and very draining. There are some fabulous people here so I hope we can all help you and Lola through this.
My very best, Vally (& Bingo – diagnosed Nov 2011 in remission)
Hey Aunties Mary and Sheena and all
Bingo has survived another no-dose day (yippeeeee). Didn’t get his 1/8th yesterday and he was great last night. Running around like a lunatic, humping (trying to anyway) his blanket, grabbing and dropping his ball so he can chase it.
I was very nervous and woke several times during the night to poke him to see if he was okay, but he’s great. My day off and he was happy to sleep in and laze around in bed being scratched. I’d say come on, we have to get up, and he’d just wave his arm (which is dog’s language for scratch some more). It’s a gorgeous day here too and because we got up later, and the Council has mowed the grass in the park, meaning he doesn’t get his little feet too wet, he was happy to do an inspection of the park today. Walked all over. He says he’d be happy to do that every morning if he only had his special french blue shoes Auntie Sheena (but to be honest I don’t mind as if we did that every morning, I’d be late for work EVERY morning).
I can postpone some worrying now for a few more days. I won’t be convinced we’re good until at least a month has passed. Been there done that. Got to 3 weeks once before and trouble hit.
Lots of love to all
