Its been a rough week for Miss Goldie. She's been pretty sick. Two days ago I was sure we were going to lose her. She hardly moves, won't eat or drink, and has been generally very lethargic. She won't even eat treats, or maybe takes one nibble and leaves the rest. I was shedding a few tears. Neighbors have been phoning and coming by to pet her and see how she's doing.
Finally yesterday she ate a peanut butter sandwich! Not all at once, she left one quarter, but it was a good sign! She won't lift her head -- she just sticks out her tongue on the floor and scoops it up from there. She ate another in the evening, and now one this morning. Her eyes are looking a little better too. Maybe she'll make it!
We did cancel our RV trip that was planned for the first week of November. If she can't hardly even get up from the ground, she'll never be able to get into the truck or RV. Rick made her a ramp and nailed some carpet to it a few months ago, but even that won't help right now.
We'll see. Maybe she'll totally bounce back, maybe not. She turned 13 in June.

Today is also my Dad's 84th birthday. He was able to go to dinner with his grandsons: Julian & Kevin! That was pretty cool! Maybe next year we can have a party out here for him!
