birthday E-litter

Today is your second birthday, so Happy Birthday to Chinka, Egoi, Endo, Enrico en Molli!

For us it is a sad day without Eoos...

farewell Eoos

Yesterday afternoon we went to the vet with Eoos, to be spayed. Late in the afternoon we called, she was waking up from anesthesia and we would pick her up around half past six.

Then we took Chimay and Ari for a walk and drove to the vet. When we arrived Eoos was not doing well, bloody diarhea, then only blood came out and she vomited blood.
She fought like a lioness and stayed with us until this morning, but it was a lost battle, she died this morning at the vets in Franks arms, 11:11 local time...

Our vet had contacted the University Clinic in Utrecht for advice. There the bloody diarhea was recognised, called it "shock shit"... nothing could be done, a servere allergic reaction, probably caused by the anesthesia.
At the necropsy was found that Eoos colon was serverely infected and got porous all over. It was a miracle she kept going for so long...

Rest in peace dear Nurse Eoos...

playing in the garden

Today we had a cold, but sunny morning. After our morning walk everyone went into the garden. When I took the camera Chimay and Eoos started to play. Ari did not go between the girls ;-)

a racing-pekingese

After the dogshow yesterday, we went for a walk together at the Zuigerplaswood.Here are dogs allowed to walk of leash, so Chimay, Eoos and Ari took off... They never go far, but they like a good run.Ari did his best to keep up with the Chow-ladies, a little racing-pekingese!A last picture of Ari and Eoos, after this one it got too dark to take pictures.

Companion and Toy Dogs Show

Today Ari went with Marijke and Valentina to the Companion and Toy Dogs Show in Zutphen. First time in the Youth Class, Ari was yesterday exactly 9 months.

The judge was Mrs Zwaartman-Pinster, just as at the FlevoDogMatch in september.
On the left Ari at the table with the judge and Marijke, Ari got an Excellent 2nd place in the Youth Class.

hospital

Today I went to the hospital to see the internist, a nice short visit:
I have Hashimoto's thyroiditis, an autoimmune disease. In the next months the dosage of Thyrax will be upped every few weeks.
Although I don't feel much better, I am not getting worse either. But the TSH count last week was 56, a lot lower than the first test.
In 5 weeks time drawing blood again and in 6 weeks the next appointment.
