A Sirius Drawing

I've had my puppy Sirius on my mind a lot lately. After he had the two seizures, I watch him closely. Thank goodness there haven't been anymore episodes. After the last visit to the vet, it was determined that Sirius had Giardia - yuk! We got a 6 days prescription of Panacur and it just seems that after each dose, my pup gets very hyper and agitated. One dose remains and I decided to not to give it to him. Guess what? He's been a (relatively calm) puppy today!

I searched online to read about the side effects of Panacur but there's nothing I can find that suggests hyperactivity. I'm not sure if my pup was feeling nauseated by the med and his response is restlessness. Whatever - I don't know but I'm not giving him the last dose. I think after 5 doses, the disgusting parasite is gone. I hope.

Anyway, I've got my drawing/creating groove on so I made the drawing you see here of my sweet puppy. I took two images showing the work in progress and the completed work.







I love animals and enjoy drawing faces. I believe I got my pup just right in this drawing. For the most part, I'm pleased with the finished work. I'm self taught so I don't bang my head against the wall if it isn't perfect. Capturing the essence is most important to me.

AKA "Old Silver Back"

The Elvis Look


He's also known as "Old Silver Back". Snickers is our senior citizen chocolate lab. He'll be with us 11 years this weekend. Yes. We got him on Memorial Day weekend 11 years ago after seeing an ad in our Penny Saver. The joke in my family is I told my husband "I'm going to get Snickers." "Are you coming with me?" The rest is history.

We guess Snickers age to be around 12 years. He is such a character. We say he looks like Elvis when his loose lips fold in and get stuck. LOL Our good buddy is showing all the signs of aging. He gets confused, doesn't seem to see as well and needs to be encouraged to go out for potty breaks. Still, his appetite is good and on good days, can still leap up on the couch. Go Buddy Go!

Blood Test for Sirius



I dropped off my puppy, Sirius at the vet today for a liver function blood test. We need to see if Sirius has a liver shunt (we pray not) which could lead to the cause of the seizures. So far, our little guy has been healthy.
