The Tripawd Times of Nova the Great Dane

It has been a really good week for me.  Mom says that I am pretty much acting like my self again.  She is hoping that the doctor was wrong.  Next week we are going to go back and have the doctor do a couple more tests to look into a few more things, and check my weight.  Mom has been trying really hard to get me to eat.  I am usually pretty hungry these days, so it’s not hard, but I am picky. She is trying to get me to swallow these new pills (Tramadol and Prednisone) but each time I find them in my food and spit them out.  So she is not sure if it’s the medicine that is making me feel better, because she is not sure it is actually making it in there.  I have all sorts of sneaky ways to hide pills.  I have these big floppy jowls, so sometimes I just stick them in there and then go spit them out somewhere she won’t find them, like behind the couch.

She just brought me back some delicious wild boar grain-free cookies from the store.  They were so delicious I ate 6 of them.  We spent some time together outside where Mom went crazy taking a bunch more pictures of me.  Tomorrow we are going to meet up with Kelly, someone Mom met through Tripawds.  Kelly is a very talented pet photographer, and she offered to take some pictures of me.  Mom is really excited.  I am excited too, because we get to go for a ride in the Mobile Throne.  It will be nice to go for a ride to someplace other than the vet.  Of course, Mom says she will post Kelly’s pictures when they are done, but for now you will have to settle for Mom’s amateur pictures of me.
