To deal with the puking and diarrhea, the vet orders a change of diet and prescribes a course of Flagyl to rule out Giardia as the source of April's diarrhea. These measures fail to bring about a change in April's health. Her weight stays in the low sixties. I perfect my rug cleaning technique. Life goes on.
Life is a dog walk.
I measure my life by dog lives. I am five dogs old. I had to go out of town for a week. April is my traveling companion, she rides in the front seat and puts noseprints on the window. For variety, she'll climb in the back to nap, or she'll put her head on my shoulder and watch the windshield display.
