Its a she and named Pepper...black lab of course. We made it through the winter a day at a time...she still wags her tail and I have overcompensated for her blindness...the last trip to the vet had her at 90 pounds..the time before that she weighted 78, which is good for her because she has back end problems and the extra weight is not good for her..the vet laughed and told me to give her snacks of green beans...she eats anything I eat so shes getting green beans for snacks and not french fries...as long as it is food, she doesn’t care...hopefully the next trip she has lost some pounds..... ,p.

Her pain medication can cause liver problems and the blood work up shows liver enzymes out of whack, so this next time in we will put her on another pain med...the vet says its more expensive but I don’t care...she is worth it...:O) GG

I bet her weight will go down with the snack of green beans instead of french fries. I was sitting here eating M and M’s and when you start on them, you can’t stop. When I was checking out of Walgreen’s today, I saw these M and M’s saying coconut M&M’s and I picked up a little package. I can’t tell any difference. They may have coconut in the chocolate but doesn’t taste a bit different...just delicious!

Glad your dog likes the green beans. Bless her heart. The Lord puts angels on earth to take care of dogs such as yours and you’re the angel for Pepper. I know Pepper thanks you with her love for the love you give her.
