Sweet Potatoes and ready for my morning walk!

Ready for my morning walk.

I forgot about sweet potatoes!  I have been giving Burke rice but someone from the Flatcoat Retriever Health Support Group suggested pumpkin for his diarrhea.  Burke doesn't like pumpkin but he loves sweet potatoes.  So last night and this morning he had sweet potatoes with his boiled chicken and organic chicken broth and it is beginning to help!

Burke had some more energy this morning.  We worked for about 5 minutes on some obedience and then I asked him if he wanted to go for a walk.  He went immediately to the door.

We had his best walk in over 2 weeks!  He pranced his flatcoat prance most of the way, made eye contact with me regularly - I think he was wondering why I was letting him run out his leash the whole time, and did not break into a heavy pant.  I even jog along with him for a few feet in the soccer field where we usually get our exercise.

Now he is sleeping at my feet.  I am going to call the oncologist today to see if I can discontinue the anti-nausea medication because Burke has a vigorous appetite and no signs of nausea.

Today I am feeling thankful that Burke is feeling better and that so many people care about Burke and our fight.
