Big yawn.
Are you even a dog Mom if you don't say "big yawn" out loud every time.
Checking on the Addisons Disease.
It was time for repeat bloodwork.
She was definitely concerned about being at the vets.
She is dribbling pee. Most likely a steroid induced uti. We have to bring a pee sample in on Thursday morning to confirm. Luk has a pediatrician appt and Kai and I are off to Vancouver so Thursday morning will be busy.
I had a bunch of concerns because I can take imagination and worry to all new levels. However, after an ultrasound and full check, Sasha doesn't have a collapsed trachea, fluid around her heart, irregular heart beat or a tumor pushing on her bladder. So, all current issues are medication and Addisons induced. Phew.
The vet assures me she is doing ok for a dog with a rare disease.
She was a complete doll. The staff all took a turn cuddling her. She is sticking really close to me today at home.
The Commander needed new rims corrosion and leaking) and tires (tread too low). We scored a Jeep set from Duncan Dodge. Someone took a new set of all weather off their new Jeep. Bonus for us. $850 for the set of five rims and tires. Score. Eric put them on today. Now, the Commander is ready for me to take to Children's. I was planning to take Squirrel until we were assigned a hotel through the Variety Club. It has a parking garage and we don't think Squirrel will fit under. I don't want to go through that moment ever again!

Why is she obsessed with chewing on glass, metal, rocks and bricks?
Today was Kai's iep meeting. It went well. Sounds like Kai is doing well in school. We did have to sign a release today acknowledging that he won't get a Dogwood Diploma but a certificate of completion instead.
We took Kai home early and got ice cream on the way. Luk stayed after school today, he is having a get to know the gym session today at the community center.
It's pouring out. Has been all day. Mabel could care less about rain. She has had a few plays out there today. I hate being out there but it is fun to watch her.
This afternoon I gave her a Gatorade bottle to play with. Label and lid off. BEST TOY EVER.
Fei got some video that will likely turn up on her TikTok page eventually.
I did have a serious low yesterday. Through the night. Mabel did react differently to me when I stumbled downstairs. Less attack and pounce, more lick and sniff. Interestingly, Lili called, I don't remember her calling, passed out on the phone, Kai heard Lili and knew there was a problem but he didn't know to go get anyone.
It's so annoying and hard. It takes a long time to bounce back. It's my fault for not eating enough the day before. I wish I could just repeat days exactly but everything changes the numbers. Too hot, too cold, too stressed, not enough water, not enough sleep, adrenaline.
