DOGTORS

This was their first time together after their surgeries.  Aubrey is reading the book she got from Duke, which was given to the both of them from MedVet. 

"Josh" is the dog that came with the book and is sitting next to Duke.  Josh and Aubrey spent a lot of time together, in and out of surgery, but she is willing to share him with Duke. (Actually, we think she really just wanted a larger audience to listen)   Photo by Shelly Murray

LATEST UPDATE: 1 May 08

Aubrey & Duke have gone from patient / therapist..... to friends.... to survivors.... to their latest adventures - competitors!

The current situation has both gaining back their weight, but that isn't easy.  Because this is a long-term effort, we are calling this series "The Biggest Gainer".

As of last weigh-ins, Aubrey was in the lead, weighing in at 44 pounds.  But Duke is hot on her trail with his impressive showing of 43 pounds.

As the numbers are so close, we will be doing a single weigh-in at Northside Vet Clinic, as they have the scales to accommodate both parties.

On a scarier note, Duke's food was recently in jeopardy because the only distributor for Iams went out of business.  There is only ONE food he can eat, and that is a vet diet called Iams Low Residue.  We had to go as far as Cincinnati just to make sure we had enough food.  But even though supply can now be handled by Petsmart, the cost has doubled, making his food cost $200 a month!  We are telling you this just for information only.  We are NOT asking for money, but prayers are always welcome!  We have contacted Iams to see if there is any help they can provide.  Buffy and DOGTORS has been of service to them in the past and we feel like this is a good time to ask for some support from them.

We will keep you up to date as things progress.....
