Canceled rehab vet appt

Well, I had to cancel our appointment with the rehab vet, as I came down with a nasty flu.
We're rescheduled for March 13th. I hate to wait so long, so I think I'll look over the Yahoo DM dogs list for the exercise files. I can see more progression of Chai's DM - it's harder for her to maintain control of her hind end, especially the left leg. Her spirits seem up however, and have been since I found the support of the DM list.



Other big news is that we have another dog now! I adopted a dog from a Hospice patient who is actively dying. His name is Casey and I met him a couple of months ago. His mom said we connected better than anyone else who said they were interested in adopting him. So much for me wanting to be dogless for a few years after Chai...I just knew it was the right thing to do when I met Casey. He's lived a deprived life (his mom's poverty and illness) and I have a lot to offer him. Training, exercise (he's about 20 lbs overweight) good food and love.



I just hope it's a good thing for Chai. Honestly, if it exacerbates her DM somehow, he's not going to be able to stay. But I will do everything I can to make a stress free adjustment. For example, he's isolated in the guest room right now, laying down quietly, and Chai is calm too.
