A sick puppy



Nola has sadly been very sick for the past week. After several trips to the vet and lots and lots of worry he seemed to finally take a turn for the better last night when he finally ate food for the first time in 3 days.

This morning he tried to jump on me, usually that is not allowed but I was never so happy to have him jump. The key word in that sentence was "tried" he still doesn't have the energy to actually jump.

Capers is confused by his lack of energy and keeps "dancing" in front of him trying to get Nola to chase him.

After blood work, x-rays, IVs, tons of medicine, and activated charcoal the vet still doesn't know exactly was wrong, just that most likely he ate something and had a severe reaction to it.

The picture was taken several weeks ago on his first real hike up a huge granite rock in the hill country outside of San Antonio.

Poor Nola! I hope he is feeling better soon. I went to the William Wegman show at the Brooklyn Museum and of course thought of you two (and Caper of course!)
