Monday was a rough day. Heidi had been sick through the weekend, and on Monday morning I called the Vet and took her in.
She is now on medications and special dog food and tonight she seems to be feeling a little better.
I had the two girls out for a run in the yard when suddenly I saw two neighbor dogs running our way. Jack wanted to let them make friends, but I’ve watched too many episodes of The Incredible Dr. Pol, which made me worried that things could escalate into a bad situation.
I scooped up Heidi and then I called to Lili. “Lili, come!” While I was running into the house, with Lili on my heels, I was grateful that the one command that Lili knows well is “Come!” and she always does.
It has saved her from a skunk, a fox and stray dogs, as well as our neighborhood dogs that enjoyed their romp through the mud to our house.
Heidi looks so small next to Lili. It’s great that Lili comes when called.
So what is Heidi’s medical problem?
