that's because elliott was in charge of that section of the
manual. i tried to tell him that 72 pt. was overkill, but
would he listen to me? noooooo. now, it's so freaking big
that you can't help but miss it.

Ahh! I thought I saw his peanut-butter-paw print on that page. Frankie tried
to lick it off, and almost ate a quarter of it....


He's cute normally. He's irrestiable with snow on his furry
face.

there really *is* something extra specially cute about the
little guys when they're playing hard. it's easy to forget
they're big little dogs, but when they're giving it all
they've got, it's a nice reminder that they're bigger on the
inside than they are on the outside.

Yup. I'm still working on the requests to add pictures to the website. I'm
heading down to campus Wednesday, so maybe by that evening or Thursday
morning.

It was very fun. Perhaps Frankie would enjoy it. If he's not toy
oriented, perhaps some of those peanut butter treats would engage his
enthusiasm.

Oh, that's a great idea! Might try that!
I think the enthusiasm is hip related, so we're resting him a spell and then
are going to try introducing treats or mountain rescue!


Mind you, I'm not sure it's fair to say the monkey actually *felt*
rescue, what with all the kill shakes Harlan was giving it on
retrieval.

Blood work came back pretty much as expected, which is good. Frankie's
platelet count is now well into the normal range.

YAY! I am so happy to hear this, Chad!

We also see that Frankie is
slightly anemic (cbc is at 32%, where normal is around 35% IIRC),

I suspect the cbc wasn't 32%, but the PCV was. (PCV stands for packed
cell volume, and has to do with the percentage of red blood cells vs.
serum/plasma)

Until next update, Frankie sends his love. He's enjoying so much the
extra peanut-butter treats, and thinks he's in doggy bliss. And it is
snowing! What fun to watch Frankie in it! Last night he really enjoyed
it. Today he's a bit slower, as he has been since this whole thing
came on. I'd be so happy if he'd regain his full enthusiasm, but I'll
take what I get when I get it.

As he should enjoy the pampering. The little trooper sure deserves it!
Take good care of yourselves, Chad--one day at a time.
