Cancelled

Elsa has been very spotty with her eating for a number of years but in the last week or so she has not been eating well at all. She would gobble treats just fine but would not eat most of her meals. In addition she had some diarrhea for a couple days which raised my concern as well. The concern was partially because she ate part of a pee pad that my girlfriends dog uses on Sunday. I was worried that it was causing some degree of GI blockage that could lead to diarrhea. Elsa has developed an odd affinity for eating paper towels, tissues and toilet paper in the last couple years. My concern had reached the level where I scheduled a vet visit for this afternoon. I cancelled it this morning.

Finally last night she ate normally which she did once again this morning which made me feel better. She also has not had diarrhea in a couple days so I think she is back on the road to feeling more normal. I believe I mentioned the issues she was having with her back legs where she struggled to get on things like the sofa and the bed. She is once again getting herself up onto these things again. I can tell it’s not as easy for her as it once was but at least she is feeling good enough for her to be able to get to her favorite spots without assistance.

This weekend should be mostly low key. I am anticipating the Eagles playoff game Sunday afternoon against the 49ers. It will be an opportunity for the Birds to make a statement that the inconsistency that has plagued the offense all year long is finally ironed out. The key to that is the offensive line and Saquon Barkley being able to run behind it. It’s that simple.
