A few things...
Ok...I don't know how many people know what I'm going through with taking care of these old dogs lately, but right now I don't know how the people I live with can watch their 17 yr old dog deteriorate so painfully. His walking and getting up off the floor is getting progressively worse. He misses the stairs a lot, even the single step to get onto the porch. Despite medication that was kinda helping, any food I feed him goes right through him. I give him 2 cups of watered down dry food twice a day. For a dog his size, he should be gaining weight...but instead he's continuing to lose...even still. He looks like a dog you see in poor parts of India and places like that. It's just frustrating. And I can barely look at him half the time.
On another note, I applied to Valley Vet (stop laughing) for not the hospital, but the kennel. This way I'll have way less stress than in the hospital and possibly have the chance to become supervisor someday soon...if I get the tech position. I was starting to lose hope today because I still hadn't heard from them. But today I was out for a bit and checked my messages...and lo and behold a message from the new manager saying they want to meet with me at 1pm on Thursday. YAY! So we'll see how that goes. That's it for now...kinda hungry...and the diet change is going great. I just need to get out more to exercise...if I get this kennel job I'll be constantly moving...so pray for me that I get it.
Ta ta for now!
P.S. I love my Ryan!
