Bloat and twisted gut. Horrible. Thank God Dad noticed Chaucer wasn't feeling right, and that Shannon told me where to go, that there was no traffic, no delays ..and the list of gratitude could go on. And believe me, I am GRATEFUL that my boy is alive and doing well. He even managed a little hop, butt wiggle and head duck and dive today when I visited. We hope to be back at the dog run soon - within the next 10 days or so.

Chaucer on the Mend
After a real scare last Thursday night, Chaucer is now recovering at Dad's house from bloat, a twisted gut, and major abdominal surgery. Our house-calling vet, Dr Shannon Whatman, recommended we take him to the Hopital Veterinaire Rive Sud where Chaucer was admitted and received superior care. He was so admired and well-behaved, that not only was his name changed to Chester, but he was also called "Doll." Luckily, he is nothing if not dignified, so all of this was perfectly ok.
