A Brighter Day

The sun is back out today, though it is a bit colder, it is also a bit brighter inside. Thor is feeling better! He and Arabella were playing keep away with a toy last night. That always does my heart good, right up to the point I have to stop them because they start boxing. I would love to let them go at it, but I just can't risk it.

Even this morning Thor seems have more pep. When he came in from doing his "business", he was trotting. Of course he may have been doing that to get out of the cold quicker. The wind chill was in the low 20's. (shiver..)

As I said yesterday I needed to find something to replace the fish oil to help his joints. I went to a local holistic pet food store. All the joint supplements have flavoring to make them tasty, but that also adds fat. As I may have mentioned before Thor suffers from chronic pancreatitis, so I watch every bit of fat that enters his body. The sales person suggested I try human supplements. So down the street I went. I found one brand that is fat free, sugar free, and one tablet takes care of his daily dose. It would take three tablets for the dog supplement. The bottle had more tablets and it cost less. That is a win/win all the way around!
