Yesterday was Joey's (my husky) 14th birthday.  May just be pulling ages & dates out of the rectum, but its something.  He seemed to have a good day.  Took him out at midnight for walkies and we had light snow flurries coming down, got to see prancing husky and happy tail.  In the morning, got woken up my a very perky Joey, and took him and Nemo out for breakfast munchies from the 'magic window' followed by reregistering the dogs, and then heading home for fluffs & snuggles.  At 3:30 received a call that 'The Cake' was ready.  Ok, its just a giant cupcake, but peanut butter/yellow cake with peanut butter frosting... and each of the boys got half!  Had some good walkies and they got plenty of pets from random people and the usuals.  All things considered, it was a really good day.

He needed a good day, been fighting a UTI since the beginning of October and realized that some of the secondary symptoms were not creaky joints from old age (Xray showed no signs of joint dysplasia or arthritis) but were pointing to a Lyme infection.  But, Lyme is treated with antibiotics and pain medication and went for an antibiotic that would be able to treat the UTI as well so just switched medications and hoped for the best.  Started the Amoxicillin and Tramadol the day before Thanksgiving and only just started to see the beginnings of energetic and perky husky a few days back.  Lucky to have such a wonderful old fluff, and just glad that he seems to be finally feeling better.  For several weeks, I was concerned that he might not make it and at one point "He might need a wheelchair" was the best news (  
Now, if only I could get him to take his pills, but things are going smoother now that I am repackaging the pills into smaller ones...  It just takes an hour to repackage them.
