Well, I wasnt feeling good today. Got back from the doctors for the heartworm stuff so that slowed me down, just no energy, and then after a little while I threw up ion the floor a couple times. I was scared cause I didnt know what would happen so I hid under the bed. But Josh came over and got me and said it was ok. That made me feel a little better till last night. Lastnight a threw up a couple more times. This morning Josh wasnt happy. He wasnt mad either but I was still a little mad cause he tried cleaning it up with some foamy cleaner and it didnt get it all. I hope it didnt stain the carpet. But at lunch time he took me to the clinic and I got a couple shots to help with the throwing up and something for the heartworms for todays pills since I threw the others up. He should be here any minute to get me. I cant wait to go home. I hope tonight is a little better.
On the bright side they took some xrays and it looks like the pills I was on before the 2 big shots worked a little, my heart inflammation has gone down a little. Cant wait for a couple weeks and hopefully my heart will be back to the right size! 🙂

Had bad heartworms and I am going in for my shots tomorrow…. Then I have to stay at the docs for a 2nd shot on Friday… Then its complete solitude for awhile… Attached are some pics of my heart as of a few weeks ago… hopefully these shots kill the heartworms off. Im ready to be a great spunky energetic dog again without Josh (owner) worrying about my heart rate. Im scared but I am excited. :/ I know its for my own good but still… Needles…. ick!!!!

Well, I am now the proud owner of an adorable Tripawd. Miss Harley. Jack Russel Terrier mix, and she is the most adorable lovely lady. As everyone always is wondering “so how did you get her?” Well Here it is…
How harley came to be was my GF at the time workes at this vet clinic talked back and forth how I wanted a dog (having moved 900 miles from MO to TX, coming from a house with 2 dogs) I have always missed that companionship with a pet. So one day Im asked to come to her work to see this adorable stray that came in with a badly broken leg (just amputated), So I did. My heart immediately melted. I couldnt get her off my mind! Shes so adorable!!! Well as days went on My GF secretly started the paperwork to get her for me. I was asking questions and the more I heard I was slightly discouraged. Started with the amputation of her right rear leg, then it was BAD heartworms, then it was intestional worms.
This being my 1st dog alone (no family around to also care for her) I was slightly concerned. But the more I tought and the more time spent, it was like it was ment to be. Got her some pills from the clinic for the intestinal worms, bam taken care of. Got her on a good food diet, BAM starting to husk up. She goes in in 2 days for her BIG heartworm shots to hopefully knock out the heartworms then its off to basically solitude in my apartment for a month till I can get her out and start building her up.
1 day at a time, Shes already bulking up, alot more peppy, wagging her tail more, just happy to see anyone. Shes always at my 6. No matter if I walk to the bathroom, sit on the couch, or on the computer. There she is always next to me. Best part She makes me so happy and I am so glad to have her.
Look foreward to more posts about her and our aventures around the country as I travel.
