On Tuesday I noticed that Okie wasn't eating or drinking anything and was just laying around. I took her to the Vet on Wednesday morning and it turns out that she has parvo. What's parvo? A virus that attacks the small intestine. How do you treat it? Lots of time and waking up in the middle of the night. I had to give her antibiotics and fluids through a catheter in her leg. After 3 visits to the vet they finally removed the catheter today and now Okie is on a pedialyte and chicken baby food diet until she starts eating regular food. I was a little iffy when I left the vet this morning we saw a different Vet and tech and they weren't as thorough as the others so I'm still keeping a very close eye on her. And she isn't back to her normal self yet.
Doesn't she just look sad and miserable?
Good thing she's better because I really like my sleep and it was like having a newborn again.
Did you notice the new blog header?
Kristy did us a great favor and took some great family pictures for us.
Dave has said that he has found Cali sleeping like this a few times but this was the first time I've seen it. How can she sleep like that?

Your pictures look so adorable, your poor little puppy looks so sick, and Cali is the silliest girl in the world. She's like a horse-- sleeping and standing up :)
that is hilarious & adorable at the same time!
poor pup, good thing it's got such a good mama!
