A change of plans since my earlier post. Chloe, you are always in my heart.

Sweet, delicate Chloe spent the day yesterday at Brewer’s and returns there today. Keeping her eating, an ongoing issue since her arrival at the Camp, had taken a more ominous turn. Sadly, it looks like she has gallbladder issues, gallstones. The only true fix is gallbladder removal at U of I, a surgery probably too big for her at under 3 pounds, and costly. For now, trying to buy some time with fluids and antibiotics. Keep this little angel in your thoughts, while I wrap my own mind around it. ❤️🐕

Store dogs today are the twins, John and Jane Doe. When they first arrived from AC, no names were known…So….

Helping to share the word…Anyone in the Hawthorne Place neighborhood area missing a couple of sweet older dogs? They are at Animal Control now.

Chloe is back today. That yellow smudge is what’s left of her portion of my Almond croissant from Incredibly Delicious. Chloe does have good taste. It was great to chat with Patrick today, had not seen him in a few years; this was my first trip to farmers market. I don’t usually venture off my own street, Mom would never let me cross the big streets.
