A chronicle of life with dogs, or what you will.

Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
Turns out Oscar has a hypothyroid. Not uncommon in middle-aged dogs; still was a bit of a shock to us.
After two weeks on medicine, he’s like a young pup again: springing and glassy-eyed and all. Not to mention the weight he’s lost. He’s now down to a respectable 49 lbs. *I will call him Slim.*
The hypothyroid is not lethal, and neither it nor the medication should affect his future health. Huzzah for medicine!
It’s awesome to see our little poocher back to his old self again.
