A Little Relief

Thankfully, we were able to take Bear home yesterday.  His kidney levels came back to normal, after heavy IV fluid therapy, and stayed normal after the vet weaned him off the fluids.  Now we wait and hope his levels stay good and get him checked out again on Thursday and cross our fingers that his kidneys are still in good shape.  

After a week without our buddy, it is so refreshing to have him back, especially because he's still a happy playful pup.

There is, however, someone in our household who is not happy about this.

Elsa reverted to her scaredy-cat ways back when we first got Bear. Back then, she hid in her room for nearly a month.  Yesterday, she hid behind the TV.  (Ignore the dust.)

But she's working through the pain of sharing her home once again.  Where yesterday she was hiding, today, she's progressed to staring with scorn and disdain at the dog.  That's the kitty sitting underneath the cabinets on the right-hand side of the picture, glaring at the pup.

They did manage to stage their own "Canton's Next Top Model," though.  The judges thought Elsa's look was very commercial, maybe not "Top Model," but she could definitely have a career in print.  They especially liked the little droplet of milk on her mouth.

The judges were very impressed with Bear.  They said he has the "kidney-failure chic" look down, very high fashion - and very "Top Model."  Note the shaved rings on his arms from where his IV's were hooked up.  So fierce.
