Today Baron was finally back to normal. It started with two hot dogs and a piece of cheese to *whet his appetite*. He then went over to his bowl, looked down on the empty bowl and went back to the Beast and barked at him. The Beast laughed and gave him a can of his favorite dog food and he ate it up. He then went up to the Beast and barked his *hungry* bark again. The Beast fed him another can and a piece of chicken. He STILL was hungry so the Beast got another can and Baron ate a little more than half of it. He was finally full.
Since he had lost 11 pounds in a week from when he first saw the vet and the second time, I don't think it was such a bad thing to feed him until he was full. He really hasn't eaten a whole lot for this whole past week. I hate that you can see his bones (ribs, mostly) starting to be obvious when he's standing up. Another week or two and that should be corrected. What's funny is that he still has a shiny coat on him.
He goes down the front steps with no problem but the Beast brings him in via the garage since those are easier on him. I watched him come in that way and he didn't hesitate at all. It makes me feel so much better now. I don't think the Beast will hesitate to take him to the vet's the next time he's acting like he doesn't feel well.....like he did this time. But that might just be hope on my part. We'll see how that goes.
We didn't have the Italian beef tonight because the Beast was so happy about Baron that he forgot all about getting the ingredients out of the freezer. So we had hot dogs. They were really good and the Beast found more of the poppy seed hot dog rolls so that was a touch of Chicago memories. I love the hot dogs there but we can make our own here, thankfully. I cut up the onions and tomatoes and everything else, we keep in our fridge all the time. We just usually can't find the poppy seed rolls but that is a minor part of it all. I don't have to pick them out of my teeth or brush them afterward....LOL.
Tomorrow will definitely be Italian beef night, however. I'll get everything we need out of the freezer myself and not leave it up to him. His memory is getting worse and worse, I swear. It takes so little for him to end up forgetting things that he starts out to do. Sometimes, it's funny just because of the look he gets on his face.
The *girls* were on the ball today and we got an egg from each of them. I now have 9 dozen eggs in the fridge. Anyone need some? Stop by and pick some up...please! The Beast swears he's going to make some of his banana bread and maybe a nice bundt cake as soon as the apple pie is gone. I figure it will be gone tomorrow so I'm hoping he means it. Otherwise, I guess I'll go ahead and make something. I actually have tapioca in mind plus a nice cake. How does that sound?
I've taken my shower, set my hair (yes, I still own rollers!) and have my jammies on. It's time to head for bed. Love you all. Be kind. I wish you a great day with lots of laughs. ***Hugs***
