A little health update on our small foster friend.
Mercy paid a visit to her personal physician last month
only to discover that she had a bladder infection
and was passing crystals.
Nana Ellie (on the floor in the hoodie)
was there in a show of support.
After a cycle of antibiotics, a follow up urinalysis came back clean
and she was returned to wellness in full.
That's not to say that her foster home can let go the supervision
needed for Mercy and her "condition".
Here's a super cute and spot on reminder...
Mercy made fast friends with a neighbourhood dog called Scuba.
Look at our girl go!
While she would have loved to spend the entire afternoon
racetrack driving with her new pal
(Mercy is much much speedier than you think),
foster mom was the party pooper whereby
Mercy/mummy were first to depart the stupendous playdate
in order to avoid over doing it.
in order to avoid over doing it.
Indeed, later that evening, Mercy-bear's little limbs were tender.
Pain medicine is always at the ready should it be necessary.
It's not often that it is since her people know her
well enough by now to recognize how much she can and cannot do.
A balancing act, to be sure... Mercy loves taking on any
and all activity included in that of a dog's life.
It's up to her foster family to keep track that she doesn't
unintentionally hurt herself.
Foster siblings are a big help too...
Count big brother, Colby, in for creating a dog pile
and sleeping one off.
and sleeping one off.
