Hi Everyone!
Just wanted to give a quick update on how Mr. Bones is doing.
The medications he is on really seem to be helping a lot. His attitude continues to improve though he is still sleeping more than normal (but that’s good!). When he does wake up though, he just wants to play and be his crazy old self. We are still keeping him isolated from the other dogs though, because it’s important he doesn’t get excited. Instead of the usual game of ball which he adores, I have been playing more low-key games with him. One is to hide pieces of treats under jars so he can figure out how to turn them to get to the treat. Another is to fill up his kong with lots of peanut butter and let him go to town 
His bowel movements are back to normal which is awesome because it means internally he is also getting back to normal so we will have a better shot at an uneventful surgery next week! I’m so excited to get some answers as to what this big ugly thing in his abdomen is and find out if we can just get it the heck out of there! That way we can move on and get rid of the nasty heartworms, too.
He is eating well and staying nice and hydrated. He hasn’t put on any more weight this week- but because of the heartworms that isn’t a surprise. He still has a long way to go, but he is off to a great start.
Thank you so much to everyone who has made donations and is continuing to keep him in your thoughts! He has a big week coming up next week and we will definitely keep everyone updated.
Thank you!
Juliet and Mr. Bones
