Colby's been at war these last four months. She has a disease called Auto Immune Hemoyltic Anemia, where her immune system attacks her red blood cells. It's bad stuff. 50% of the dogs who get it die within 2 weeks. My dog Elwood had the same rare blood disorder and died 16 years ago. But Colby's a warrior. We don't know if we are winning the war- but so far she's won every battle. This is her second "episode" of the disease. Her first was four years ago, and it's laid dormant in her body since then. No one knows what causes it to attack. It's treated with steriods. These make her puff up like a sheep. Maybe we could find some medicine that would make her head grow.
My boys are ate up about basketball. They've played it all winter long. So when we saw them head off for the court, Colby and I decided to join them. Colby really can only handle short walks. She's not up to full speed yet. And she's licked her front paw obsessively and has it sore and raw.
Colby wanted in the game. She just loves the boys and they love her. So they had to stall the game a bit for a love fest.
But she sat sweetly on the sidelines so the boys could finish the game.
These games have a lot of bragging rights. Well at least until tomorrow when they'll all go at it again.
