Pupdate

Annie, our little Korean dog, is currently at the vet after receiving Shot #1 of heartworm treatment. She is slated for Shot 2 tomorrow. This is a risky procedure (the treatment for heartworm is derived from arsenic) and some dogs don't pull through. Even if they do, there is a risk of death from clots caused by the breaking-up heartworm bodies for the next several weeks. We cried at the vets when we left her for observation and we're hoping not to hear the phone ring - it would only be bad news.

Annie has had a rough life, but she is a sweet, sweet girl and really deserves some good luck for a change. If you have any nice vibes to spare for a loving little dog whose sole purpose in life, as far as we can tell, is to sit on people's legs and adore them (the people, not the legs), please send them Annie's way.

What is it with pathetic rescue dogs named Annie? At least yours doesn't smell so bad... hey our Annie and Uncle John's Annie both had happy endings, so maybe it is a good omen.
