Finally Back In!

I am so sorry it has taken so long to post. I had a log in snafu that seems corrected now! Whew! So where to begin.....

I know it has been two weeks and our household has been through somethings. We have been remodeling an old home that we had rented, it is finally done and on the market. (Thank God!) I had to go over there and spent quite a bit of time and was leaving the dogs home everyday. Thor seems to be slowing down and it has concerned me. One day my husband calls me and tells I need to come home NOW! I of course start to freak. I ask if Thor is OK, and it a very pleasant voice tells me Thor is fine. It was that the weather was getting nasty and he didn't want me driving in it. If I could have reached through the phone, I think I may have strangled him.

Since the house is now done, I have been staying home a lot more. I have noticed Thor isn't running or playing much. It has me concerned. Last Saturday, I don't know if I was being a bit over anxious or not. He seemed "off". He would sleep some and then he would just sit and watch me. I was trying to catch up on all the housework that I have fallen behind on. He wasn't acting like he was in pain, but he just wasn't quite himself.

My husband and I were suppose to go to a concert that night, and I was really getting worried about leaving him. We were going to be gone 6 hrs. I found a dog sitter/walker that could come in and give him his medicine at 7:30 so I had someone checking up on him midway through the evening. I still was worried. I had gotten the Chinese herbal supplement, bayaio yunnan, but haven't talked to the vet about it yet. I took a leap of faith and gave it to him. It was early afternoon. I figured if it was going to have a negative effect on him I would know before I left, which it didn't.

I don't know if it had a positive effect, or I was imagining it did, to make myself feel better about going. He did seem a bit more relaxed by the time we left. Now I have to decide if it was just me, or if it really did improve things. And if it did improve things what are the implications. Has he started to bleed? Do I need to be giving him this everyday? If so how much?

Sigh...It is so hard to know what to do. I just hope and pray I make the right choices. I love my boy so much.
