Great to get an update from you. Typhoon battles IBD, too, except his manifests itself as a full refusal to eat – at all. The prednisone has been a life saver – literally – though we are unable to wean him off of it without him stopping eating. Sigh. Miss Kiska says the best way to play the senior card is to act mopey and then the humans give lots and lots and lots of affection. Best wishes!

Great update, D. I like to see you trotting around the yard without a care in the world. And the hand feeding of the macaroni noodles! *swoon* WOW! That is my dream come true. Once I found some macaroni noodles behind the dumpster at my old house. They were crunchy, but I tried one. Mom said I was a gross pig. #nailed it

Hiya Dennis! Glad to see that you are doing well, and you have your humans so well trained that they will cut the legs of the Big Dog Bed so you can get in and out more easily! Our Mom was muttering something about “correlation not implying causality” but as usual, we have No Idea what she’s talking about. (I guess it’s those philosophy people – she pulled out her diploma to get framed after 500 years, and apparently she’s a doctor of philosophy. I thought she studied recreation for statisticians or something, but what do I know?) BTW, as you can see, the watery tub of doom hasn’t swallowed me up yet! 😉
