78 days and counting

Harvey's feeling fit as a fiddle and feisty!
Not to mention, being covered in mud from running around the backyard after all the melting snow and wet weather. Harvey loves to run around in the rain and splash in puddles.
What is it they say? It's not Spring when you have dogs - it's mud season! I sometimes regret installing that dog door - usually after mopping the floor for the 4th time in a day. :)

We found out at his vet appointment last week that Harvey has gained over two pounds. After losing so much weight after surgery and being finicky about the commercial diet he was eating, Dr. Towle was glad to see him filling out a bit. He's eating a home-cooked diet now and I think that's making the difference. Even with my limited cooking skills.

He has had some panting spells the last week or so, but Dr. Towle believes it's most likely due to some chinese herbs he's taking to help with hindquarter weakness - a remnant from his back injury two years ago. We're taking him off that supplement for a little while to see if it improves.
She doesn't feel it's related to any spread of the cancer affecting his lungs or heart, because it only happens after he's had his meds, not as a direct result of exertion. He's also very playful for about a half hour after eating - almost obsessively so - so my own guess is that one of his supplements is making him loopy. Like the second hour of a good frat party. lol!
