News from the Gang of Four

It has been a very lonely but busy time, but you all need an update. I've been dealing with a low grade infection with Bosco first, then Pailsey...now it's Holly's turn. Her usual unrelenting appitite is sluggish and she has had loose bowels for over a week. She's being treated with Flagyl and Immodium and gets steamed chicken and rice. She seems to be improving, but I've been so very busy with work I am unable to spend a whole lot of time with her. Of all the dogs, her sorrow for Frank's absence is most profound, and I finally had to put her on Clomicalm, which seems to help some, but as you all know, they reflect our own grief, and I find it impossible to go thru any reasonable amount of time without crying. My eyes hurt.
Still, when I am driving home from work I realise that these guys are the reason I'm putting one foot ahead of the other; they make me feel needed when the house is dark and there is no longer the blue Volvo heading up the driveway. I have yet to use the camera, as I don't know how to download it and use irfanview, but one of these days I will.
Bosco has been a gift from Heaven. He remains happy and full of smiles, stays by my side even as I type this and remains healthy in spite of his DCM. He was Frankey's buddy and the source of great happiness for him. I was really worried that he'd go into an inescapable depression...but everyday, he tells me that he is here for me; that he loves me and shows me a smile. Never in my most remote dreams...when I still had dreams...did I think he was capable of keeping me stable. Paisley remains a joy, she is so sweet and beautiful. She leans on me and nudges my hands when I stop talking or petting her; our sweet Doberangel. Demijen is doing fairly well, too, albeit sad at times. He cannot stand to see me cry, he leaves the room, poor little guy, but I just can't help it.
So anyway, I'm still here I think, and I'm thinking of all of you. I am planning on getting active in rescue once again soon when I figure out my schedule and where my head's at. Hug your quadrupeds for me....Les and the gang
