One week checkup is a success

Roxy is doing very well. She had a one-week checkup to assess her health after the last two shots. She looks great and is actually looking like she feels like her old self again. She has much more energy than she did after the first round of HW, which is difficult on me to keep her quiet, but I'll take the energy and sweet spirit over sad eyes and lethargy any day. She seems to have put the two-day vet visit behind her and really seems to be happy again. She did shake a lot when we went to the vet, but because nothing was done to her beyond an assessment, we didn't have the unhappiness that occurred after her overnight stay. I think the steroids are making her hyper rather than sick this time. Even the vet commented on how much energy she has.

I finally feel like we're on the last leg of this incredible journey. She will have one oral dose of meds in three weeks, then one more week of rest and the vet should be able to pronounce her cured. I am thrilled because I will then be able to offer this precious baby up for adoption into a forever home. It's the goal we've worked on for these past three-and-a-half months. I see nothing but happiness from this day forward.

And today is the beginning of another great basenji weekend. Though she can't walk and get overly excited, I have no work this weekend, so we'll have lazy days in the sun and lots of tummy rubs.
