Mom woke me up this am so I could take my antibiotics and NSAID. I had a hard time standing when she took me outside. But I ate some breakfast without a problem, and then went for a short walk. I was able to squat without falling over today, and walked 2 doors down. That's twice as far as yesterday! So that's encouraging. But then I started shaking hard so mom carried me home. I was better after she warmed me up. We'll see how this new medicine works. After my antibiotics are done we're going to try some glucosamine/chondroitin for pain.

I've lost 2 lbs in 3 months. That's a lot when you've gone from 14 to 12 lbs. I guess I've been eating less in general and the muscle mass in my back thighs and behind is pretty thin. Mom encourages me to walk a little every day though. Up until a couple of days ago, every day I was walking my 1/2 mile along with 2 more walks the length of our block. So this is a big change for me. Hopefully this will pass when the extreme cold goes away, which doesn't last long here in California. I've been living in my sweater. Good thing is, I didn't have to have a bath this week due to the temperature. There is always a silver lining!

Back to snoozing for now!

We're sorry to hear you're not feeling well. We hope you feel better soon once those meds kick in. Bella has a sweater that mom's been putting on her during these cold days cuz she acts like she's freezing when outside. Glad you're staying warm in yours. Big hugs.
