To Blog or Not To Blog. I haven't posted much lately because I've basically been an emotional mess. Perkins (my oldest dog) totally quit eating about two weeks ago, and we found out his liver enzymes were through the roof. The vet put him on various liver medication, and increased a steroid meant to help his appetite. All this got me very worried and I started thinking about the little guy's mortality, so I was very depressed. But he seems to be doing very well so far. We only have two more days on one liver medicine and the steroids ran out a day ago. I'm going to visit some friends in Portland over the weekend, so hopefully he'll still be in fine form when I get back.
