possum, dogs
Tuesday, December 22nd, 2015 02:14 amAbout a week ago at daybreak, Zorro was barking at an opossum in a tree. It looked young to me, and scared.
I tied both dogs up by the front porch to allow the opossum time to escape, and went back to sleep. Later, the opossum was gone.

The thyroid medicine seems to be doing Serena a lot of good. She is much more active than before. When I take the dogs for a walk, I no longer have to walk slower for her, nor carry her when she gets tired. She pulls on the leash as much as Zorro now - like she did when she was younger.
Serena has lost a lot of weight, and looks more like she did when she was younger, too. Now you can tell that she's a pug mix rather than a full-blooded pug. She also seems to be completely shedding her old coat of fur and growing new fur. She's even regrowing hair on the top of her tail, which had been bare for as long as I could remember. Her nose is back to normal too.
After 4 weeks of being on the medicine, the vet rechecked her levels, and said they are on the high side of normal, which is what they like to see for dogs on the medicine. The vet will check her again after another month.
