Rufus returns home

The power of prayer (Drool) has proved itself to me again today. After a long weekend of prayer before Ru's appointment with the vet on Monday Rufus has recovered enough to return home. We have gained some precious time with our big, crazy Rufus.
Ru's blood levels returned to a more normal level yesterday and after two days of IV fluids and mega doses of steroids he has returned to his couch to snooze with his friends.
I cannot thank all of you who prayed and from the basset world, sent drool, for Rufus you will never know how much it means to one family and their dogs.

And then there were two.....

I took Rufus to the vet yesterday afternoon. He had to be admitted for IV fluids to try to bring him around. Dr J isn't quite sure yet what's going on but his suspicion is renal failure and not an Addison's crisis. We will know more about our options later today when he has another blood test to check his renal function after hydration.

Tyler is confused and followed me around last night whining as if to say, "Well, where is he?". Hunny is looking for him too but she's a little more reserved.

We've all made the awful decision to part with a beloved pet but it never gets any easier.
