SBC/GW's Journal- Spring shows DONE! & Update

[Southern by choice]

We made liverwurst balls and stuffed his meds in them. He ate them down faster than we could blink! lol

GW reminded me of when Callie had to be nurtured after her bout with hypocalcemia from her large litter.
She got so use to the pampering food and cooked meals she turned her nose up at her feed.
I can see Pete doing this. He was wagging his tail tonight. It sure does the heart good.

@Mini Horses I don't know if I answered your question... I think so but we actually may not need it. I told her I'd pay for it even if we don't ... she can keep it on her shelf. If it is ever needed it will be there. I forgot what it is called but it has a very short expiration... probably why no one keeps it on hand. BTW- you need an avatar!

Love that Pete is getting some of his LGD spunk back!!! As always, continued prayers!

Good luck in milk test! Excited about breedings too!

Stopped by our vet's office for more meds.
Picked up some canned dog food too. Ummm liverwurst is great but geesh...
Today Pete was laying down but head and chest up! That is amazing. He barked once. Walking better. I am sure the food is helping give him strength.
He walked up the side stairs to the house... he wants in the house.
My friend said Pete knows the deal... when a LGD is injured or hurt at our place they get to go live in the house and become couch potatoes!
I told her I know... that's why he can't come in. Before long we will have more retired LGD's then working ones!
This evening he discovered we were putting the pills in the food. He spit them out.
GW scolded him and said NO Pete, you will take you pills. He got the sad look with the "my feelings are so hurt & tail wag".
Of course then she had to tell him that she wasn't mad at him.

IOW... Pete is returning to LIFE!

Our vet is overjoyed. I thanked her again and said if you hadn't met us at the clinic that night he would have been dead.
She is very humble and refuses to ever take credit for anything.
She knows the Lord had His hand in this without a doubt, He also used her to bring health to Pete.

Later in the week we will draw blood and run another urine sample.
It will be a while before he can go in his field. He is too weak to work.

Milk Test went fine but Raina showed trace on a CMT yesterday. She was being obnoxious for milking even though the milk looked good she was way too "dancy"
She was way down and only milked 6.3# today. I will send out a culture but we picked up some Today and will probably give it in the morning. I will do another CMT.
No temp and milk looks good but still.
After the State Fair everyone is getting dried off. We just need a break. I don't care if we don't have milk we just need a break.

Thank you all for praying for Pete!
