Happy Holidays

I just wanted to say hi to everyone since I am not here much.
JR has had a rough few months and wasn't feeling well at all. He was on 2 weeks of antibiotics and steroids which I wasn't crazy about. It seems that his liver counts are high and he probably had some kind of infection, however, at 14.5 years old I am not going to put him through biopsies etc. He deserves to live out his days in dignity.
I did start him on a holistic regimen of 175mg of Milk Thistle daily....it is supposed to help in liver cell rejuvination. He has definitely perked up and still continues to take a daily walk with his sweet sister, Cheyenne and I even in lots of snow.. and his appetite is great.
He plods up the stairs a lot more slowly now and I have been giving him accupressure massages which he really likes and he has just begun tho jump up on the bed each morning to let me know he needs his potty break.
What a grand old warrior he is.
Cheyenne continues to be Cheyenne...a wonderful beautiful Chow girl.
Wishing you all A very Happy New Year!
