Pet's QuirksHe loves riding in the car with me, standing up straight and staring through the window at everything.
Pet's StoryBobo is a 17 years old survivor. Last autumn he had a heart failure with pulmonary edema, and the doctor told me to prepare for the worst and pray. My world collapsed at that moment. How do I say goodbye to my fur baby? Thank God he recovered, two weeks later he was back to his old self.
But due to 7+ pills per meal, he had digestive and renal issues, he lost 3 pounds in a week. I tried many ways to feed him food and medicine and finally got balanced. No dog likes medicine! and at first I had to chase him down, only to see him spit it out, even fainting. One day I told him eye-to-eye, that if you don’t take the medicine, you will not get well and won’t able to stay with me for years to come. He stared at me with his bright eyes for several seconds, and amazingly afterwards he never spits out the medicine again.
Thank God! half a year later he can still bark at other dogs and for extra snacks. Last month the cardiologist was surprised he is still healthy!
I enjoy every minute with him!
