On Saturday we took Skeeter to meet a family that was interested in him. They already have a standard poodle but were looking to add a little guy to the family. Skeeter enjoyed his visit. On Sunday we headed to Vancouver to meet up with Yuana at her home. We needed to get some meds for Skeeter to help get rid of his itchy eyes and also to get him his special duck kibble. Plus fill her in on the home visit. Skeeter played with all the dogs in the yard and we were attacked by a pack of tiny dogs when we went inside the house….lol. I didnt know that I could fit 4 dogs in my lap. Gregg had 3 dogs and then a cat named Bob got in there too…lol.
Skeeter has now been taking his new meds for 2 days and he is scratching less. His eyes are a bit pink around the edges, but they look so much better. He really hates taking the stuff. It`s nasty tasting liquid. I squirt it down his throat and then he gets soften duck jerk to chew on to get rid of that horrible taste. One side effect of the meds is that he now has very runny poop and he is peeing less. It`s a good thing he is here with us while we do this. He needs to be watched all the time to make sure he makes it to the outside when he needs to empty out a cowpie.
He has started stashing pieces of food all over the living room. Under pillows, behind chairs and in his blanket. Seems to be always the last few pieces in the bowl. Not really sure why he is doing this. I thought it might be that he is full and wants to save a few for later or maybe he is worried he wont get anymore. Whatever the reason is, we`ll figure it out.
A day at the park
We are so excited for him to come home. How’s he doing? We have finally settled on a name for him, let me know if you want me to forward it to you and you can start calling him by it. Any idea when the day might be so we can mark it on our calendar for the kids (and us)?
Speak to you soon,
Elizabeth
