new from europe (arthritis and vetoryl?) - Ian, Flynn and Enya have passed

Happy 14th Birthday to Ian from Henry and me. I hope you all have a lovely day and that his health improves.

Happy 14th Birthday, Ian!

thank you, he was spoiled with a lot of treats and a bowl of tripe.
[and he was very nice the last 3 days to NOT pee in the house during the night/morning.]

Happy Birthday, sweet Ian!!!

thank you!

How are you and the dogs doing? Must be nice weather there now and can have a lot of long walks. Hopefully not too hot, remember last year was a bit warm.

hi sharlene, the weather is nice but very dry and we had a few hot days already. last year was very dry too.
no more really long walks anymore this time of the year. hoping for a cool summer with enough rain.
we walk for an hour during lunchtime, but no long distances anymore.
we went to the beach last sunday for 2 hours with a rest in the dunes halfway, but i try to walk on the wet sand close to the water so it is easier to do for the golden oldies.
ian is still drinking and peeing a lot even after increasing the vetoryl -with babysteps -from 20-30 mg. but otherwise doing fine.
enya is doing fine too, still a pot belly, and a few minor changes, but the cushing's??isn't progressing. turned 13 may 2.
today we made our yearly trip to one of their brothers. it is a very long drive, but it can be for the last time considering their age.
went to a lake with 6 dogs in total, so the siblings are out........
waiting for the pictures in the mail from our visit.
hope you and molly are doing fine too.

A belated Happy Birthday to Enya, and pleased to hear that they're doing OK and enjoyed their visit with their siblings.

It's started warming up here too so Henry and I are counting down to next Winter - neither of us likes the heat and I had to pull 10 ticks off him after a 20 minute walk yesterday :(

Ugh I heard ticks are suppose to bad here this year. That sure is also to pull off from one walk!

I'm following here, and have a question about giving my dog her capsule. I am putting it in her food. I am not sure if she has chewed it or it goes down smoothly with her bite of food. Do most of you put the cap directly into the pups mouth? Thank you.
