Another Taper

Dad and mom took me to see my vet again and he weighed me and I'm still 63 pounds, which is good.   I stopped losing weight - yay!   He put yellow dye in my eye and turned off all of the lights in the examining room and shined a blue light into my eye and it glowed green.   I still have the ulcer so the antibiotic eye drops and the gooey eye gel have to continue.   It sure takes a long time for this stuff to work its way out of my eye.
They stole my blood and the results are back and I'm doing okay, holding my own and I'm in partial remission.  I got another taper on my prednisone.  Fingers and paws are crossed that I don't go backwards.

I got to spend some alone time with mom while Molly and dad played tennis ball in the workshop.  Actually, dad works and Molly begs him to throw the ball.  She is so obsessive about it!

I remember the treat machine, mom!  How nice to be able to push the handle and eat my own rewards without "someone" stealing them from me!
 I sure like sharing time with you without Molly, mom.  It's fun☺
Love ya lots♥
Mitch

  15. Crikey Mitch ..... I'm real glad you got such a good report from the Vet bloke. That's real good to hear. AND one on one time with your Mom sounds good too. I always have one on one time with my Mum and it's real good but just sometimes I wish I had a sister like you do.
