Buster's Health Scare

The last few week's have been rough ones for Buster.  On Easter Sunday we rushed him to the emergency vet hospital because he was having difficulty breathing.  It turns out Buster has congestive heart failure.  He's on the mend now, but he is taking a bunch of medications to stabilize his condition.  It's taken him a couple of weeks to adjust, but his appetite is back, his love of sneaking up on Cookie is back, and he has caught on to the fact that when I approach him with a closed fist, it means I have a handful of pills.

Buster Stays on Track

Buster is sticking to his diet.  He has lost four pounds now and is down to 22 pounds.  The weight loss has given him a new lease on life.  He's active and alert, but still loves to nap and get a belly rub.  I painted his portrait last weekend.  He is magnificent.
