Checking in for April 2014

[mytil]

"Checking in" is a topic that we start on the first of each month. We suspect that we have a good number of members who read the messages regularly but who don't post very often. Maybe that's because their dogs are doing well, or they don't have a Cushing's dog anymore, or they haven't got any questions to ask, or maybe they don't feel very comfortable about posting answers to other members' questions. It's perfectly understandable and acceptable for folks to only post once in a while, but when we don't hear from people, many of us find ourselves wondering what those folks have been up to recently and how their dogs are doing.

It's always preferable to post updates about your Cushing's dog in your own thread/topic (especially if you want feedback/replies from other members) but you can also post a quick reply here if you just want to say hi and let everyone know how you are doing in general.

We'd love to hear from you! :)

Hello All:

Fritz and I are still here. Fritz was diagnosed with Addison's last June. His diabetes is considered to be well managed. With the warmer weather, we can go out an walk. His monthly BG average has dropped 30 points since last month. We are a little lower now than we were in January.

His eye sight is fading. We think he can only see shadows now, if that.

His Addison's is in check. I give him his DOCP injection here at home. When I need a vial,Fritz gets a check up.

In March, we celebrated his 15th birthday. Every day that I spend with him is a gift.

Hoping all is well with you.

Marge

Oh Marge, it's so good to hear from you, and aside from his diminished eye sight, I'm so happy to hear that Fritz is doing so well.

I am sorry we missed Fritz's birthday, and 15 years old, WOW!! Sooo ~~ Happy 15th Birthday, sweet Fritz!! Thanks so much for keeping us updated, and I went ahead and copied your post into Fritz's original Thread.

Hugs, Lori
