This condo is a 3 bedroom/3 bath condo. Most of the time I don't get invited for condo shoots because Alisha likes to get her job done first thing in the morning, and I am usually eating breakfast and in my PJ's still. Oh the hard life of a Full Timer!
Mallery had a set back with diarrhea again. We were unable to get control of the situation for 5 days. We did our usually thing of changing her diet back to a low fat canned dog food diet, which didn't work. Then we did the next best thing, making her boiled chicken and rice, but it was not doing the trick either. After days of messes, (luckily she has made it a habit to have accidents on a rug) I had to call the vet. She gave me medicine, Diazepam 10 mg, and some special digestive canned dog food that you can only get from the veterinary. She was back on track with in 12 hours of the start of the special food and medicine. She has never been on this medicine, and it worked really great. She has been on the Hills Prescription ID many times before. She had such a problem that one day, Joe picked Mallery up to comfort her, only to find a mess on his shirt. One night she had woke me up with her pacing around the bed. I knew what this meant and jumped out of bed and took her outside. I thought I had rescued her to the outside in time, but when climbing back into bed, I could smell poop. I woke Joe telling him I was going to have to turn on the light, because somewhere we were sleeping with poop. How I managed to get out of the bed and back in, in the dark, without putting my knee or hands in it, when I had first got out to take her outside and then go back to bed, was only by the grace of God. Remember we sleep with bed rails so our Mallery, who is going blind, won't fall out of bed. The only way out of bed, is at the foot of the bed over a suspended blanket that is stretched and attached to the bed rails and tucked under the mattress. Once over the blanket I have a footstool to the floor. Such is the life with an elderly doggy family member. I can't complain, because I am glad we still have her with it, though this night time drama is a bit frustrating. |
