Let's talk about this week...

Happy Thursday, y'all and thank the good Lord that this week is almost done. Who is ready for the weekend? This girl is!

This week has been a bit of a roller coaster, but everyone seems to have survived so far. This includes Louie! Here is the most recent update: I dropped him off at the Drs. yesterday morning alone because Stephen was already at work. I felt so horrible leaving him there, but knew it was best for him to get treated. I called to check on him several times during the day and was told that they decided to do a split treatment, and that he seemed fine after getting his first shot. They said I could pick him up anytime before 5. I was so excited that he would get to spend the night at home with us where he belongs, but I was also nervous that something, anything would go wrong. Stephen and I picked him up together just before they closed and talked to the Vet. Louie did not seem to be himself, but I am happy to report that he did eat his food and start acting a little more "normal" for him as the evening wore on. Praise the Lord!!

Split treatment means that we get to do this all over again in about a month. The Dr. decided that it was better for Louie and would give him a better chance of survival with doing the split treatment, as opposed to a more aggressive treatment where he would get a second shot today. This gives his little body a month to recover, which I think is good!

Kisses for Louie before leaving for the Vet on Wednesday...

So now for 6 weeks we have to give him a baby aspirin daily and restrict his activity. He took his pill this morning without any problems once I hid it in a small piece of cheese. He likes his cheese just like his momma! :) Thankfully, restricting his activity should not be too difficult because he is pretty relaxed and calm most of the time. The only thing I am worried about it his going up and down our stairs. Do you think that is too much activity for him? His Dr. said it was probably okay, but I don't think I want to take any chances!

This week our menu has been kind of exciting for me. I really like trying new recipes and usually I try one new one per week, but not this week. Already we have had crock pot chicken cordon-blue, tonight we are having wet burritos and tomorrow we are having crock pot sweet and sour meatballs over cilantro lime rice. Can you say yum? If all the recipes are a hit, I will definitely share them with you all!

I already know that this:



was a hit!

Check tomorrow for the best (in my opinion) layered turtle cheesecake recipe around!

And just to make your day better, some sweet pictures of me and Louie. Have I mentioned how much I love this pup? Seriously, to say that I am attached is a complete understatement!

Have a great day, friends!
