Thankful

Well our "Do Life" training plan got a little bit derailed these last few days because our best running buddy, Bailey, gave us quite a scare. After not being able to keep up on our run last week, she got progressively more lethargic and refused to eat. We took her to the vet on Friday and they diagnosed her with Immune Mediated Hemolitic Anemia, meaning her immune system was destroying her red blood cells. After 5 days at the vet hospital, we are so thankful to have her back with us.

She won't be able to continue our training program with us, as she is under strict orders to lead a "fluffy" lifestyle for quite awhile. However, we are also glad to say we got in a run today before we picked up our fluffy muggins.

In honor of tomorrow's Thanksgiving feast, here a list of foods for your dog to avoid courtesy of the vet: grapes/raisins, onions, chocolate, stuffing, and... pennies made before 1984 (the copper in them can potentially cause anemia).

Happy Thanksgiving! We have a lot to be thankful for this year.
