Lucky for us that Louie stayed home from work; Odessa started a dry
coiuighing that was thereatening to turn into choking. He's running her to
the vet now. Hopefully all it'll take is another steroid shot to reduce the
throat inflammation, it worked the last time for her; otherwise it's xrays
and a laryn-something exam. I do not want to think of this...

At least she wants to eat and tore into her chow with a sense of gusto. We'd
gotten a thing going where we'd make a mix of regular pate type cate food
with aby food and broth to make it smooth--and do you have any idea how tough
it is to find that loaf or pate style, instead of chunks and gravy? I'm
thinking of getting one of those Magic Bullet things off that obnoxious,
phony infomercial because the bad reviews (that it just purees stuff) are
just what Dolly needs.

I've been full of worry about our Dolly, and Louie too; he's even taking time
off his class today, to go to the vet, bless him. And I'm sorry I've come
across as consumed when many others here need me to pull for them too. If a
few could be spared for our Doll we'd be grateful though. I'm on my break
(and I'm being expected to do free work on  my spare time, damn these yutzes!)
and I'm getting dizzy with worry.

Thanks, all. I don't tkae enough time to tell you that.

Blessed be,
Baha
