A new winter coat!

Holly is continuing to do well.  She wasn’t very hungry today… but it might be that she decided her old dog food wasn’t as tempting as some of the treats she’s been getting.  Or that the meds are getting to her?  In all other ways, she’s been her regular, happy self today.  So I’m hoping tomorrow she’ll have her appetite back.  She did eat some canned food today, and a little chicken with rice and broth, so she has had some food.

Her breeder (her first human mom!) Ronnie, sent me a pattern for a fleece coat that was very, very easy to make!  So Holly has a new pink coat that should allow her to take the walks she’s been longing to take in this cold Chicago weather.  I’ll post pics tomorrow when she wears it.  Today we walked around the block and she did great!  She wanted to go further, but I was a  firm mom and told her that will come with time.  She was so excited by all the smells!

Her quivering has subsided a bit.  The episodes don’t seem to last as long and don’t unnerve her the way they did over the weekend.  She seems to be resting comfortably now. 🙂

1/6 – I’m also including a link to the pattern in case anyone else needs to get handy with a pair of scissors and a piece of fleece!
