Green (and Rocky update)

For Photo Friday; I haven't done one of these in a while (and it's pretty late too, I know).

This was taken last December, the day we stayed home and played... um, Scrabble. I can't help it if the cuteness of the dog detracts from the green-ness of the Scrabble board. :)

Rocky had his second treatment this past week. He has so many different types of medicine to take these days that we've split them up into morning, afternoon, and evening doses. (The last time he had that horrendous fever, it was right after he'd taken all of his meds at one go.)

He was doing well until last night, when he started to feel a little woozy. At 2 AM, he crapped all over the room, and just as we finished cleaning up, he threw up twice. I can't believe that there's anything left in his stomach anymore. He slept until noon today.

We tried to feed him some food earlier, desperate for him to eat something, so that we could get him to take his meds. Some are more dispensible (pun not intended) than others, but we really want him to down his antibiotics. He finally managed a nibble or two at his favourite canned food -- nothing more -- which is better than nothing, I guess. But it means that we still haven't gotten his medicine in.

His energy level is good, even if he has lost quite a bit of weight -- everytime we take him to the vet, he's 0.2 kg lighter. Hopefully his appetite will come back soon, and I won't have a bag of bones for a pet.

I know I'm not supposed to do that, I'm sorry! I don't know why!, his eyes seemed to say. He looked at the mess he'd made, and then at me; he staggered to the corner and hid.

I gave him a little squeeze. "I know, baby, I know. It's not your fault. This time, it's not your fault."
