Yesterday, Elizabeth and I went to speak with the doctor about Annie's long term care. He gave us a list of all her medications and told us all about her very serious Inflammatory Bowel Disease. She is a very sick girl- he rated her an 8 out of 10 for how sick she is. There is no doubt that she would have died a very painful death alone if she were not caught.

She was in very good spirits- no doubt because she was able to leave the hospital!
At this point she is having very runny diarrhea and doesnt have control of it. Her behind is is a little raw and really bothers her so thats the reason she must still wear the double cone. Even with that she is able to work her way around it. We put her in a diaper originally but those are really made for urinating so they dont help much and they are very expensive. Elizabeth brought over a topical spray today that seems to give her some comfort.

Annie has quite an extensive list of medications and each one is very expensive! Unfortunately, that means we still need to raise funds for her. Her heart worms will still need to be treated as well but for now, she just needs to heal and get her bowel and intestinal problems a little more under control. 

We are very appreciative of all the warm wishes and love shown to us through both your kind words as well as your financial support! This is a very difficult time and we are very grateful to have support!

:-{   but only temporarily.  I am so very glad that she is eating.  Save Annie pencils, Save Annie flashlights, Save Annie poop bags?

What? I'm confused. Where do we get pencils, flashlights and poop bags?

It is said in the Jewish Torah that 'one who saves a life saves the world'. I like to think this applies to dogs too. <3
