: Thanks for all the thoughts and prayers~I think Cowboy has turned the corner
: newflvr December 08, 2005, 11:32:23 PM

He's eating...often and every bit!!!  Yes, still diarrhea...but he's taking it OUTSIDE!!!  YEAH!!!  and he hasn't thrown up and he hasn't seized!!!  Fingers crossed but I think he's going to be okay!!!

Darling husband has taken himself off to a Christmas party we were supposed to go to tonight but I just couldn't leave Cowboy with nobody to take care of him.  I left him for an hour today to get him more special food and came home to piles all over our bathroom....an d then found piles in the closet.  MAYBE, just MAYBE that's why darling husband decided this party is SO important!  The closet is now scrubbed, the rugs, the bathroom so I'm going to gather a couple of arm-loads of Newfies and curl up and watch a movie!  YEA!!!!

So THANKS everybody for all the kind words, cheers, prayers.   I do think all that good stuff aimed at Mr. Cowboy has done the trick!!!

Glad Cowboy is making positive strides!  Thank goodness and we will keep you guys in our thoughts & prayers.  Try to relax tonight and enjoy your movies but, most of all enjoy those pups!  I would rather be home with the pups than a Christmas party anytime! 

Hugs to all from the Newfies from NJ

Great news! I'm glad everything's going down OK - even if it's not coming out OK just yet. Still sending good vibes your way 'til it's all "solid".

OH, please:  start a rumor!!!  Some tall rangey cowboy ............ ;D ;D

(NOT the 150 lb Newfie who's rear end is shaved like a pink-bottomed baboon who smells like diarrhea and makes stomach noises like Niagara Falls!)

I am soooo glad for Cowboy, its gotta be sooo good to have him home (and see the poop from the positive side, now your closet is scrubbed lol)

Way to go mom, he sure is a lucky pup to have such a devoted mom. And he is sooo cute, not even a pink butt can make him less of a kiss magnet.

Thanks all!!! He continues to improve!!  He was even playing with Chester a bit last night. (what's a guy to do when the brown boy barks in your face and pulls on your paws to play???)  I have to admit to spraying him with doggy perfume to try to block the bad smells that he still has.  His fur is clean, but he still smells bloody.  My guess is that it's his breath.  He still has some bloody diarrhea but not as often.

Im so glad he's better. So now between all of us with sick babies ENOUGH!!! We had my company christmas party last night, we were home by 10:30. Kiya is having "frequent" potty issues & has to stay on her schedule. Billy didn't have a problem leaving early (imagine that) & were not going away for new years (hurray!)
