Hi guys,

I have the flu

Been in bed whenever I can while trying to take care of my son and Arnie! I feel soooooooo bad!

Okay, onto brighter things. Arnie seems to be coping really well. He is moving around much better and no falls so far today! He is now officially 'Arnie, Superdog..I am so proud of him.

Had a bit of a mishap today. My son was playing next to where Arnie had fallen asleep on the rug and he took a tumble backwards and landed right on top of Arnie! Arnie yelped so loudly...I don't know who cried loudest! My son immediately burst into tears. Everything is fine and Arnie seems okay. My son is now giving Arnie a very wide berth!

Hope everyone else is feeling well and enjoying this somewhat warmer weather.

That flu is aweful...I had it all over Christmas and New Year and am only just

starting to feel like my energy levels are picking up again.

I hope you are feeling better soon....and your little son and Arnie are ok. :thumbsup: it does sound like

they both got a shock when they fell...as long as no damage...accidents will happen now and then.

Awww, Arnie is looking the biz!!!!

So nice to see those pics and he is standing really well :thumbsup:

He is a credit to your love and care, Sarah

 

[Myfairlady]

Thank you so much. I cannot take all the credit. This is one brave boy! He never ceases to amaze me. He has just gotten on with it...not one word of complaint, not a whine or a growl. He is still very quiet but has had some 'crazy Arnie' moments today that have made me smile.

His determination and strength have far exceeded any expectation I had of him.

I couldn't have coped as well if it wasn't for the love and support I found on here. Thank you friends :thumbsup:

 

[meddling]

He looks great and terribly relaxed about the whole thing, what a clever boy he is :thumbsup:

Brilliant to see Arnie looking so well, but sad to hear you're not feeling well. Perhaps Arnie can look after you now - snuggles on the settee are called for when you're not well. Hope you feel better soon, and well done for nursing Arnie so well - he looks a happy boy, and so he should :thumbsup:

aw bless him, :wub: glad to see he's improving everyday,

Hi guys,

The whole house has the flu now so Arnie is doing better than all of us!!!!!

The little guy is coming along nicely. He attempted the couch and fell which seemed to knock him a little but he recovered quickly and just looked around for help. I offered him to go out on his own today but he declined. I think he feels safer with his collar and lead on.

Have an appointment to get his stitches taken out tomorrow...fingers crossed! Im sure he will feel better once they are out.

Hope you are all well and have avoided this nasty nasty virus going around.
