Today is a GRAND day because our Silky Terrier, Lily, is doing much better!   She hasn't eaten in 4 days. She has been drinking water and chicken broth but just wouldn't eat. This morning she got out of her nest, walked in the kitchen, drank some water out of the big bowl (not the little bowl I keep by her nest because she has been too weak to walk to the big bowl) and marched over to one of the dog beds in the living room and plopped herself down next to her buddy Homer!!!!!!!!! Then later, I called her and she came (wobbly) right away, her little nubby tail just a wagging and she ATE!!!!!!!!!!! I have some cat food with turkey bits in it and she ate half the can!!!! That is a HUGE improvement!!!!!! Even better than that, (this is gross so if you have a weak stomach, stop here)....one of her nipples was swollen so that it was as big as my fist...looking much like innards. As of just now, it is almost back to normal...she is healing...SHE IS HEALING!!!!!!!! I was so sure that she was going to die, that there would be NO improvement...I am so happy to say that I was wrong that I can't stand it!!!!!!!!!

Lily is 13 years old and joined our family on our 1st wedding anniversary. :)
