Corey is off the Antibiotic's and is feeling better.
Now i have to keep telling him to slow down so he doesn't trip and fall.
I have been changing Corey's splint and have been getting good at it.
Corey is looking good now that he has lost over 25 pounds of excess fat.
Time for me to lose some weight too! LOL!

Corey and I doing some lite shopping

Corey and I went to do some shopping.
It was more for Corey so he could get out and see some people. As soon as we walked in I heard people saying awwww poor dog! Then two small children came over and gave him a hug I said your not suppose to pat him because he is a working dog. Then came the questions!
Why does he have that on his leg? Why does he have that vest on? So I stopped and talked to them and explained why! They took it all in like it was a school lesson that they may get tested on later. They seemed to enjoy it very much.
Later in the freezer section a man thought maybe he was a police dog that had been
hurt on duty.
I think Corey enjoyed looking around and watching all the different people. Corey was glad to get out of the house after almost two months.

Corey is still having lots of pain. Corey crys a lot at night and some times I will sleep with him on the floor to try and help him cope with the pain! On 08-25-2008 Corey went outside and started vomiting. That scared me so I took his temperature which was 103.5. So I immediately went to the emergency clinic! They gave Corey his medications by injection. They also checked his electrolytes which showed he was a little dehydrated. Corey also got some IV fluids. It wasn't a Addison's' crisis Corey was just hurting, and not feeling well. They also put a new pain patch on him. Anyway, $608.00 of well spent money we headed back home! The next day Corey was still feeling ill. Corey didn't urinated when I let him out. Later that day Corey still hadn't urinated, So we headed out once again to see his regular vet. They gave him some more fluid's, and around 5pm he finally urinated. Today Corey still cried from the pain, but at least Corey is drinking and eating.

Corey's Home!

Good St. Francis, you loved all of God's creatures.
To you they were your brothers and sisters.
Help us to follow your example
of treating every living thing with kindness.
St. Francis, Patron Saint of animals,
watch over my pet
and keep my companion safe and healthy.
Amen.
