Diet And Drugs
Some of you know about my fight with Graves Disease, an auto immune system disorder, which causes an overactive thyroid. Since I was diagnosed 7 years ago, I have made it my business to know everything I possibly could about the condition & this has probably saved my life. I have blood tests on a regular basis & in November last year, I was told that my T4 levels are normal & again in January the same.

Ooh he's lovely! How come? He'll like sticks and things to play with :)
ReplyDeleteAwww I like your new friend!
ReplyDeleteHe's gorgeous. I look forward to hearing about all your adventures together.
ReplyDeleteOh, Barney is precious! What a beautiful boy! And a lucky one - kudos to you for giving him a loving, forever home!
ReplyDeleteI was going to share Molly's great stash of vegan recipes for dogs and other wonderful, informative stuff for happy, healthy pups but I see she's also one of your followers, so I'll let her do it! :-)
Oh bless him, I'm so glad you took him, I'm sure it'll all work out and he'll have a lovely life with you! x
ReplyDeleteHe is beautiful, look at that lovely smiling face. I hope he likes a bath after all that mud! X
ReplyDeleteThanks everyone - he's adorable, though has trashed 2 tennis balls already... He needs to lose weight, but seems really fit for a 10 year old! We've got a few days off with him now, which is nice - but the kitties are in hiding upstairs, so we keep popping up & giving them plenty of cuddles too!
ReplyDeleteK&S :)
Oh, I'm so glad he's found a new family to love him.
ReplyDeleteWhat a gorgeous boy,and a happy ending to his sad story. Enjoy :)
ReplyDeleteCongratulations on your very handsome new family member! What a sweet, adorable boy he is. <3
ReplyDeleteIt makes me so sad that he was abandoned like that. Poor sweetie. He's so very lucky to have such a wonderful new home, though. I know you'll both love him so very much. He looks like a very gentle soul.
