Been awhile, been so busy

I did take Duncan to Dr. Cargill.  He did an exam.  He asked how old Duncan was.  I told him I had no idea.  He has been with me for 7 years and Dr.  Henninger guessed he was around 8 when I got him.  Dr. Cargill grinned and said he thought he was between 15 and 20.  Would not be surprised because my animals tend to live a long, long life.  Picasso, my oldest cat, is 18 1/2, skinny as can be, picky as all get out on his food, but still doing ok. 

I kept my son's little dogs last week.  He was out of the country.  Well, Joey came sick.  My daugher-in-law thought it was because he missed my son.  But Kenny got sick last Wednesday night.  Kenny is 13 and has liver issues.  I was so scared.  My son would be crushed if he lost Kenny.  Kenny was vomiting and had diarrhea.  Well, my daughter-in-law picked them up Thursday morning.  My son called me on Friday and asked if Kenny had gotten into something because he was really sick.  Nope.  If there was something in my yard, Jock would be dead because he eats everything.  I make sure there are no toxic plants in their yard and they have a big yard.  Well seems that three of my son's dogs had gotten sick.  Kenny was the worst.  He took Kenny to the vet Friday afternoon.  Kenny had picked up a bad bacterial infection.  That infection went through all 4 of his dogs and all three of mine.  I would not let my son bring Baby for a play date on Sunday.  Jock was really sick Friday through yesterday.  He started improving today after I have given him pumpkin for two days.  Now Duncan is down with it.  I will have to take him in tomorrow.  He can't fight it off.  Honey only had a little vomiting.  I don't know what it was, but it was nasty.  Apparently not something that vaccinations would stop because all my son's dogs are vaccinated and so are mine.  Wish me luck.
