Update on Brooke and Drew

Brooke made a trip to the vet's last Friday. She had been peeing frequently and we needed to find the reason. It turns out she has a UTI and is on antibiotics for two weeks and then we will check a week later to be sure the infection is gone. No wonder she was going every hour.... makes it hard to house train! Brooke is now on a special diet of Royal Cainin SO Urinary kibble to prevent any problems in the future. She will probably need to continue this food long term.

The vet also noticed that her hind end was weak (not surprising in a mill dog). We are working on this with 3 walks daily and we have noticed a good improvement in her walking/breathing over the last 2 weeks. Exercise is new to Brooke and she does not mind it at all and is starting to lose her rotund physique.

Brooke loves to play with toys on her own and tries very hard to tear them apart. She is somewhat at a disadvanage as her legs are so short that she can not hold on to the toy very well... but the effort is surely there.

Drew has a meet and greet tomorrow with her approved adopters. Fingers crossed that all goes well. She is a sweet dog who deserves to spend the last years of her life in a great family home. She even says she will have a bath and good brushing later today, so she looks and smells her best. What a joy to have in our house and so very good with Brooke. Good luck Drew!

Brooke has discovered the bed is soft!

She once even tried to share Drew's bed.
