I'm all about that Dog, that Dog.

I've been MIA from the blogosphere....if anyone even noticed. 

An update of sorts. 

We're up to our eyeballs in dog care. Ozzie is still hanging in there....but he's become extremely needy. As in, we are up at all hours of the night with the eating and the bathrooming. He's on several medications that both make him hungry and thirsty...which means more bathrooming. 

I can't remember if I wrote that he has both an enlarged heart and two large tumors/masses in his brain; his time is limited. 

 The Coach and I leave notes on who has done what at what time. 

We've added green beans and broccoli to his food and snacks; very filling without too many calories. Turns out both dogs love their greens...as do the cats! Who knew?

We are both very thankful that I'm not committed outside the house most days...that would not work for Ozzie's situation. Right now, I'm not able to leave the house for more than 2 hours at a time.

Needless to say, getting up at all hours of the night does not make for pleasant Suz. 

 I'm certainly not looking for sympathy here, nor do I want to make anyone sad....this is what you do when you've made a commitment to an animal. 

I am So thankful that we have the resources to take good care of him and I'm also thankful it's not my child who is sick; that would be much worse. Also, if I made my child pee and poop in the yard, well then my neighbors would most likely complain. 

 The Coach and I spent a (much needed) long weekend in Vegas and the girls had to be on dog duty. 

Trying to make sure someone was here at all times was hard with both of their work/school schedules. 

The Coach made a spreadsheet to cover all bases; one day I had my house/pet sitter come by for four hours when the girls were not available.

It takes a village!

I hope all of you are doing well and are getting lots of uninterrupted sleep!!!
