It's all in the head!?

Our Tobydog!!!!

Yesterday Makoa and I took Toby to the vet to get his stitches removed. At the counter the girl asked how he was doing and I told her "not good... he isn't eating." So she immediately took Toby to the back.  Makoa and I waited.  Finally Dr Julie Evans (Toby's dr) brought him out. She said his temp is normal, he hasn't lost any weight and she checked him from head to toe and he looks good.  She took the stitches out and said it healed great. Julie was confused and asked me the questions about his energy etc.... which is kind of normal. He is in bed alot... but get out his leash or bring out a raccoon and he is all about energy! lol!  So we talked about depression. Dogs can get depressed. Even from wearing the cone. Well, it's been off for 5 days now so he needs to get over that! I called Amanda and asked to borrow his bff...Sandy. I picked her up on the way home and they were both happy to see each other!  Once in the yard they actually played!  Toby ate dinner, too!  I was so happy I praised Jesus and got teary eyed!  That dog means so much to us! Julie said if he doesn't start eating she will need to run lab work. Not good. Then for breakfast papa put dry food in his bowl??? What was up with that? No wonder he didn't eat it. We need to wean him back into it.
I have such a busy day today.   I am meeting Karla this morning at WalMart.  Then I am going to Group Health for my 3 month blood draw to make sure all is going ok with my diabetes. I got an email from the Diabetes Lady yesterday. Also picking up pills. Then going to mom's.  She wants me early. Lois and I are taking her to Dr. Vasin's office (kidney doctor) in the afternoon. Wonder what he will say about the shape she is in. Her breathing sucks. We'll get some dinner and take her home. That will be about all she could handle. She tires so easy and the water weight is coming off so slow!  She will flip out if he puts her in the hospital!  Literally flip out. She hates hospitals so much now!

This picture is of the first time they met in 2006. Been bff's every since!

Well, Makoa was an angel again yesterday. Testing the "come here" and "no" boundaries a bit, but nothing I can't handle.  Kapono thinks Angela, me and grandma spoil him. whatever. lol!
