Two Weeks till Friday...

Sick Pooch

Laura's dog Mook has become ill which has us all a little concerned. He's only a puppy (about 9 months I think?) and is shivering pretty bad. He's a bit more mobile today than he was yesterday though moving looks like it's quite a chore for him. He was 'fixed' a couple of months ago after which he became quite ill as well. So this isn't the first time he has been like this.

Its very heartbreaking to see though. If he moves at all, he sheepishly walks (very slowly) to different parts of the house and shelters himself under something, be it a chair or a table. His ears (which are normally up and floppy) are pinned back, his back is arched over and his tale pulled down between his legs. He's been to the vet. Twice. He's gotten some antibiotics as they think he may have obtained some kind of infection. Poor poochie.

Though Rachel and I both think that he's one of the funniest looking dogs we've seen in a while, it didn't take long for us to realize that with his normally playful personality (he likes to surprise you with a french kiss when you are least expecting it... I really think he tries to do this as a challenge), Mook is very cute and is as much a part of this family as... well, me. Actually, if given the choice, I'm pretty sure Rachel's family would rather have Mook around...
