| Headed to the Vet |
The puppies are continuing to have a rough go of it. They are still fighting the ear infections and have been back to the vet for a stronger prescription--an antibiotic and steroid combination that we put in their ears. Tovah Rose also began showing signs of an infection in her other ear.
We'll be going back again to see our vet on Wednesday to see if we need to try something else next.
Tovah isn't ringing the bell all day long. She's not hanging outside all of the time. She falls asleep out on the patio instead of watching the world. She squeals if we bump her ear. She doesn't want to eat.
Gershwin has been sleeping a lot too. He hasn't wanted to pre-wash the dishes. He hasn't wanted to dry off my legs after a bath.
Both dogs check on each other. Both dogs seek constant attention and comforting.

| Eating Some Homemade Food |
Our biggest challenge with Tovah is that when she is in pain or doesn't feel well, she stops eating. She couldn't even be enticed by some cottage cheese on her food. So, Mom decided to make some gourmet homemade food for the puppies, and both are gobbling it up much to our relief. They are also enjoying a snack of Farmer's Market goat's milk.
These babies are the closest thing I have to children, and it makes me sick to my stomach to see them suffer, to feel that maybe I am at fault for this happening to them, that the groomer plucked their ears within an inch of their lives and caused this, that they could be prone to chronic ear infections in the future.
I'm sorry we don't have better news to report on the puppies or any fun pics. The puppies haven't been up to any antics the last 2 1/2 weeks since this all started.
Blessings,
Emily

Your poor pups. :( It's really hard to see them suffer when they are so vulnerable and small and trusting. I hope they are on the mend soon.
