Dino on Wednesday

Well.  Dino is on a course of antibiotics to clear up his sinus infection, and we are on biliary (tick bite fever) alert.  Living on a farm our dogs are carriers of the parasite, and with his immune system taking such a knock we are probably facing a flare up, which is why Dino won't eat or drink anything today.  The news just doesn't want to get better.  When the vet had a look at Dino this afternoon he concluded that nothing will kill this dog! 
I'm not sure that the owner is up for another round though.  It is not funny when a Great Dane sneezes on you.  After three sleepless nights I am going to chicken out early, have a hot shower and crawl into bed with a book shortly after sunset.

  1. Dear friend, when you finally get a good night sleep you will feel much better and things will look more promising.

    As for the dog spit - we love it! Ha, what choice do we have, comes with the dog. Giggle.

    Hugs and little gentle kisses for Dino.

    1. After the huge dose of antibiotics by injection yesterday evening, Dino seems to have improved a little bit overnight. We all slept easier for sure. This morning he ate half of his bowl of food and drank water without prompting, which is also a very positive sign.

  2. Aai Megan I feel for you. I am so looking forward to the post where you write that Dino is OK, which I am sure will be soon.
    You are really taking the knock. You need some me time, so do just what you want to do.

This weekend I'm going to lie on my bed and chill. No baby at your end yet?
