He Ate A Little Bit Today....

Not his food but he ate some treats (chicken jerky) and a couple of potato chips this evening.  We cut the jerky into smaller pieces to make it easier for him to eat.  We were finally able to give him some of his pain medication by dissolving it in water and using the feeder tube.  He seemed to like the taste of it (we gave him two tablets per instructions).  I was glad it easily dissolved, which was a surprise.  But, a half hour later, he was actually acting a bit perky.  He was even wagging his tail.

He's still sleeping a lot but it's giving his body time to fight the infection.  He is also getting up much easier.  He still can't quite manage to get up the front stairs easily.  The Beast plans to make him a ramp and cover it with indoor-outdoor carpet so he can have better traction on it without fear of slivers.  He's going to put it on half of the stairs in the garage, he thinks.  He's not doing it until Monday due to other things he's committed to doing for the next few days.  Baron's difficulties are due to his arthritis in his back legs.  He has to get into the perfect position before he can manage to make it up all three stairs to the porch.  Sometimes it takes him three tries, other times it can take six or seven.  It's kind of sad.  If we try to help by lifting up his hind end, he gets upset so we stopped doing that and just let him take his time.

My bff is sending me a surprise on the 28th.  It's actually something from Taste of Chicago (they notified me but said they couldn't tell us what it was or it wouldn't be a surprise).  They are shipping it out on the 26th and said we would get it on the 28th.  I'll make certain we are here, that's for sure....LOL.   Knowing Carol, it could be anything.  She says she likes to make my life a bit happier with her surprises.  She's such a fantastic person.   I love her dearly.

Time to get this posted.  Love you all.  Have a fantastic weekend.  Enjoy yourself.  Have some fun.  Laugh a lot.  Tell the friends and family that you care about that you love having them in your life.  ***Hugs***
