So far, so good…

May 16 - Lava had an uneventful trip from MASH to his new digs yesterday.  He laid his head in my lap for a little nap on the way home.  When we got home, he took two steps on his sore leg.  He looked down at it as if he were saying to his leg, “What’s up with you?”

The meeting with the “Goof Troop” went well, and they all have been very respectful of each other. When I took him out this morning, Chaos came by for a howdy sniff.  Chaos created a small choke point where Lava couldn’t get to the door.  When Chaos realized what was going on, he backed up to allow Lava to pass giving him ample room and watched as Lava hopped to the door.  Lava handled the ramp like a champ both up and down.  He also dealt with the rain in Chaos’ rain coat just fine.  Hank (the resident kitty) came out this morning and gave him a sniff.  She feels comfortable enough to climb back on her window perch right next to Lava’s area.  She is a good judge of dogs, so I feel comfortable saying he’s cat safe for now.

Lava has had some problems with vomiting in the last week or so.  He had a good dinner last night of chicken and rice and this morning of chicken, rice and noodles without any stomach issues.  He’s drinking fine, but we’ve limited the amount of water and plenty of time between food and water.  He’s lying back enjoying the soothing sounds of the 40’s on XM, and as he was lying down we heard the reassuring sigh of contentment.

So far so good…
