Well my server went down last night as I was posting, so I went to bed and thought I would try again this morning.
Jack was quietly sleeping all night last night. Only got up once. By this morning his nose was pretty blocked up by mucus on the left, so there is a whistling sound as he breathes. He actually is being pretty good about letting me try to clean it out, but it is pretty gross and not my favorite job. What's that old rhyme? I've changed it up a bit. "You can pick your dog and your can pick your nose, but you can't pick your dog's nose." Well I am here to say, yes you can! YUCK! One thing I do know is that his nose is not painful, because he does not mind me grabbing it. I am sure he wonders what the heck I am doing to him now!
Today we head home. Amy gets off School at 1, so we will leave after that. I am hoping he will eat, since it has been two days since he ate anything with any substance. If I can't get anything down him, I will steam some hamburger for him and of course we will got the custard place and get the proverbial pup cup which never fails to please my boy. I wonder if I will ever get him back to eating dog food again. When we get home, no AC, so his appetite is always low in the summer. We can't do that this summer, so he may be on mom's home cooking just to keep his weight and strength up. You can tell that he is weak. He hasn't even gone out yet today, just sleeping. I need to get more water in him, too for the trip.
Will let you know when we get home. We still don't have a phone. Sprint says I qualify for a free phone upgrade and all I have to do to get the "free" phone is pay this much money. There is no such thing as free anymore. I will tackle that problem when I get home. My posting may become a bit spotty when I get home since I have to leave home to post, but I will endeavor to post at least once a day and let all of Jack's new family know what is happening with the big guy. I am sure when he gets home he will be very busy remarking the yard. I hope my trees and bushes are up to it.
God bless you all and thank you for all you have done to help Jack.
Love and Husky hugs,
Debbie and Jack
ps. Gor word last night that I received another $140 toward Jack's aftercare. To those donors who so generously gave, thank you and God bless you. -

Jack slept like a log last night. Was a bit congested. Doesn't seem interested in eating, but did get a little yogurt down him. His stomach is still not normal, so someone suggested yogurt for his intestinal flora. I hope they were right. He seemed to like it and maybe that will help.
Hoping to get the phone fixed today so I can leave for home. Really worrying about Sassy who was brought home on Tuesday. Have not been able to get hold of the neighbors to check on the horses and don't have anyone at home who would help, so I am very worried about them.
Jack and I are off for a walk. Shorter today. I don't think he is as strong as he seems to think. Yesterday really wiped him out.
Thinking of you all and wishing you all the best things life has to offer. You have given me my Jack back.
Love and Husky hugs,
Debbie and Jack
