Diego
I hardly ever blog about the dog anymore, and I’ve taken so few photos of him recently that I couldn’t find one to add to this post. It doesn’t mean we love him any less. It’s because he’s become a rather old dog, and he mostly just sleeps. Life moves faster than it used to, and taking photos of a sleeping dog is pretty low on the priority list.
So, here’s the thing. Diego’s at the vet today for tests, and we’re not 100% sure he’ll be coming home. He’s a very old man. He’s gone down from 11 pounds to 9 pounds, even though he still eats plenty, and he’s pretty much lost complete control of his bladder. We’re hoping the tests show it’s a simple, treatable bladder infection, but the weight loss in spite of his food intake isn’t a great indication of what we’re going to learn.
Please, if you’re so inclined, think a good thought or two for a sweet old Italian greyhound today, okay? Thanks.
I am thinking oh-so-positive thoughts for all of you!
Oh, gosh, of course, all best thoughts to Diego.
Sweet Diego. Life changes when kids come along. And we don’t love Diego any less. All the best for sweet Diego – restorative sleep and good test results.
Kisses and good thoughts for Diego – I love that sweet shaky dog
sending good thoughts to you and Diego. fingers crossed for good results!
oh, the poor sweet guy. i am thinking all the best for him.
I’ve often wondered what became of Diego. I’ve been quietly reading your blog since the early days and remember the photos on the blog header. Dogs Steal Yarn, right? Sending lots of good wishes and happy thoughts to you and your pup.
Oh, man. I’ve never hoped so hard any creature had a bladder infection before.
Wishing Diego well and sending positive thoughts your way…
Channeling all good energy to your buddy, Diego.
Sending love and good wishes to sweet Diego.
awww … poor Diego. Poor you. Having a loved one be ill (and old) is never easy. I’ll be thinking of you.
Happy, healthy doggie thoughts… Be well, Diego.
Good wishes for sweet Diego.
puppy prayers for Diego….and all of YOU of course! xox
Definitely thinking of Diego – and y’all.
Aww my poor Dieguito. Hope he makes it through ok. Besosbesosbesos.
((Diego))
putting my good thoughts in with the rest and sending them your way…
Sending good thoughts his way.
Poor old Diego – I hope it’s just a bladder infection and old-dog weight loss, and that he’s still get some time to spend with your family.
I’m thinking good thoughts for your dog, I hope he (and you) do okay.
Our older dog had those same problems–weight loss and lots of pee accidents. It turned out he had developed diabetes, which is treatable with insulin in dogs. Let me know if this happens to be the case for ol’ Diego and I can give you some additional advice. We learned a lot in the year and a half we gave our Java shots.
sending love and strength to you and diego.
Poor little guy. You got it. (side note: he weighs less than my non-fat cat. small little man.)
Lots of positive thoughts for him and for you. <3
I’ve got my little Jefferies man on my lap as I write this, and hoping good things for your Diego.
Prayers for Diego and your family as you traverse this road.
Healing mojo for Diego.
