Happy Thanksgiving!

Well, I haven't had time to blog much because school has been literally crazy, but I wanted to take some time tonight, Thanksgiving, to tell everyone who reads this that Nelson and I give thanks that all of you are in our lives, and I wanted to keep everyone up to date on Nelson and I.

Most of you know that for the last 2-2.5 months we've had some major diarrhea (sorry, I know its gross) issues. We've been in and out of the vet 3-4 times, get him on medicine, and then he gets better then Bam! It's back again rearing its ugly head. We've switched food 3 times, and nothing has worked. Nelson has been with my parents for about a week while I get myself ready for finals week of school, and a few days ago Nelson's stomach issues came back. I was able to meet my dad, and my little man, at our family vets yesterday and she determined he has had giardia. For those that don't know what that is, it is a parasite that can stay in a dog (or even person) for up to a few years, causing diarrhea, and other issues most of which nelson had. It is hard to diagnose, but the vet thinks he should be completely back to 100% health soon! I am praying that she is correct, and I do believe she is. Lucky for me, and Nelson, I have wonderful parents watching over him and I know they will keep great care of him until this weekend when he can return home to me. :)

In other news, Nelson is going to be having his first professional grooming at daycare on December 12th, to get ready for a little "photo shoot" in downtown KC in a studio to help out a friend who wants some animal pics for his portfolio... I'm really hoping Nelson does well!

I hope everyone has a great Thanksgiving and a wonderful weekend.



With Love, Nelson & Ellen
