Week 12

Casey at age 3 with my daughter Emily when she was 2!
He is happily chewing his rhino Kong!


Wow, where does the time go? Casey is doing great still and we can't be happier! He still has a bit of a limp, but we are assured it will dissipate as he continues to build his muscle. I wish we could walk him more often or longer, but with my husband working full time and me home with two children it is tough. We currently are managing two walks a day. Kids are at times reluctant to sit in the jogger stroller for such a long walk, but I make them! Casey is always willing to go!

We had an "oops" moment as they say on the orthodogs yahoo group! I must say it is far more less an oops moment once the bone is healed though. I am far less worried! Anyway, I was mowing the lawn and opened the back gate to our fenced in yard to dispose of the grass clippings and Casey ran out the gate. I didn't realize he was outside with me. Well he had a field day running all over the neighborhood. I finally found him 2 houses over and he finally sat to get on his leash and collar for my husband. We were worried he over did it, but he was fine in that respect thankfully! I must admit it was nice to see him run!!!

Well he must have gotten into something (God knows what?) and he was sick for days:(
He has such a sensitive tummy anyway. He was throwing up later that night and was in and out several times too with diarrhea. Then again the next night too. We cut his food to just the grain and went easy on the water too. Thankfully on day 3 he was better. Oh and boy was his gassy belly killing us! PU!

I am happy he is better now and back to his regular food and meals. I felt good that he was getting what ever it was out! If not I would have had him to the vet immediately. Always something with this guy!

Thanks for checking in on us and I will post again next week! Bye for now!
