Walking doesn’t help Bentley. It makes him worse. He’s been pretty ouchy himself the last couple days. Its actually cool tonight, so perhaps it some thing to do with that. I’ve been trying to encourage him to use the steps up to the couch, but he’s a terrier, what are you gunna do? lol If he’d rather be in pain than use the dog steps, then thats his problem, I guess. Ginger loves to walk, and it seems to help her, but most of the time, getting her motivated is like hooking a leash to a boulder and trying to get it to sprout legs and walk… LOL Once we’re going, she’s all for the idea, but if it doesn’t involve food, it takes a certain amount of convincing *rolls eyes*

Ginger has been moving to her new food for two days now. I think her tummy is upset, even though her poops are fine. She pooped two times the other day, which is unusual for her. She’s also been restless last night and this morning, and gets this really pathetic look on her face unless I snuggle her and scratch her face and ears. Tonight I’m not seeing any of that, but she’s in a deep sleep. It rough, you know! Sleeping in your cage in a quite house all day while your owner is at work!

On another note, she’s been coughing a hacking a lot more than usual. I can’t be sure, but i think the two fatty tumors on her neck are getting bigger (she’s got an actual tumor on the inside of her back leg that I know is, but its not growing super fast). I can’t help but wonder if the ones on her neck are pulling at something and making her cough so much. Its gone from once a week or so to several times a day. I want to get her another round of antibiotics for her mouth anyways, so I’ll be going back to the vet as soon as I have the funds. Still recovering from the holidays and all the time off I have to take during them lol

She does at least appear to be enjoying her new food. She’s on about 1/2 and 1/2 right now.
