    Hi gang. I went to visit him this morning. His spirits seem up. He ate a few bites for me. I brought him a new blue bobo to spruce up his cage a little.

    Depending on this morning's bloodwork, which they sent to the lab, and comes back in the afternoon, he *might* get to come home. I'm keeping my fingers crossed he doesn't have to stay the weekend too!

    I can't even tell you guys how much I appreciate your thoughts. I know I probably sound like a broken record, but it means so much to me to have a whole crew of people pulling for him! I tell him every time I visit about everyone's well-wishes and good vibes and such.

    Yay for Pirate - keep up the good work!  I'm so busy at work, but i keep checking the forum to see if there is any more news on Pirate.  I know how it feels to worry like that, and i hope you are doing ok.  Please continue to update us!!
    • Gold Top Dog
    Awwwwww, come on little boy!  Ya gotta eat to keep your strength up.   We're all pulling for ya.  How are you holding up, Megan?
    • Gold Top Dog
    Continuing the good vibes from here.  Come on Pirate, get better so you can go home and your poor mommy can get some peaceful sleep.  I'm sure you must be a wreck.

    While *I* may be a wreck, my house sure isn't! It's been scrubbed within an inch of it's life!

    Really, though, my best friend has been the BEST. Her doxie mix girl is Pirate's 'girlfriend'. They really love each other, lol. She's the same way I am about dogs so she's been reminding me to, you know, eat, sleep, breathe. All the basics. I worked last night so at least I was occupied. The other girls at work (I work at a DDC/kennel, so we're all a little dog crazy) made me a poster that said 'GET WELL SOON Pirate!' and they hung it on the wall for me.

    Now, onto the weeds in the back flower beds...
    • Gold Top Dog
    Megan, give Pirate big kisses from me and Talus...
     
    Take care of yourself too....
    Get at those weeds and get all that nervous energy out...
     
    When Pirate comes home for the weekend, you can both relax a little...
    Spoil him rotten for me with hugs and kisses pleeeeeaaassse!!!!!!!!!!

    Aww, Megan, I have been saying quiet prayers for Pirate, too - One of my all-time fav pups here.  BIG GIANT HUGS - squished down into soft little pats so they don't hurt him - are going to Pirate.
     
    He's a special boy and we want to hear his special "Arrrr!" story once he's feeling better.  Extra hugs to your friend for supporting you so well!  Special dogs and people deserve special help - sending as much as we can from here!
    Thanks for keeping us updated!

    Aw, shucks guys. I hate to be the bearer of bad news. His blood work isn't any better--in fact, he's getting worse, despite IV antibiotics and fluids. He's going to stay the weekend at hus current vet and first thing Monday morning he's transferring to a specialist in Maitland (not too terribly far from here). He's going to get a bone marrow biopsy, a chest x-ray, and an ultrasound. We're basically trying to figure out WHY his bone marrow isn't doing anything.

    So keep the good thoughts coming, please. Also some good thoughts that I get approved for Care Credit, and FAST. Thanks all.

    Megan

    Oh I wish the news were better but I'll continue to keep you and Pirate in my thoughts and prayers.
    • Gold Top Dog

    I've been pm'ing and emailing you instead of posting and don't mean it to look like I don't care.  Pirate buddy -- hang in, babe!!!!!
