It's the Little Things

What's that you have there behind your back, lady?

Boy, oh boy!!!  A new toy just for me!!!  (if you've heard of greyhounds smiling but have never seen it, this is what it looks like)

Enough with the flashy box thing!  Just give it to me already!

My foster mom got a short video of me playing.  Thanks for reading and sharing in my excitement!

I'm Ready!

Blix wanted me to post and let everyone know he is no longer on medical hold and he is ready find his forever family.  He will be meeting and greeting at the Hermitage Petsmart this Saturday, May 28, from 10:30 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. and he hopes you will come out and see him!

Look at Me Now!!!

Hello everyone!  Blix here!  For those who don't know, I got bit by a cat at the beginning of April.  A few days later I ended up with a horrible infection from that and landed myself in the hospital for 5 days.  I've had a REALLY rough time of it, but I wanted to let everyone know I am doing just SUPER now and I'll be ready to go to a forever home soon.

I was so sick I got down to 59 pounds, my coat lost all its shine, and I felt pretty crummy.  Here I was in the animal hospital on April 13.

And here I am today!  Guess what???  My weight is up to 69.5 pounds!  That's 10 whole pounds since I was discharged on April 15.  Just a couple more pounds to go and I'll be right where I should be.  I know this is not the best picture, but my foster mom had a hard time getting one because I wouldn't be still - I love to do zoomies around the yard:-)

My foster mom is always telling me I am a really good boy and I try real hard to be.  I am so excited about finding a forever home.  I will be meeting and greeting at the Hermitage Petsmart on Saturday, May, 14, and I hope you will come to see me!

Also, if this is your first time visiting my blog, make sure you click that mouse thingy on "older posts" when you get to the bottom of my posts so you can see my whole story.

XOXO and Happy Cinco de Mayo!

More Good News for Blix

Blix had another great checkup today.  The vet is very happy with how his leg and eye are healing.  He is doing so well, no further followups will be needed and he has no restrictions at this point.  He has gained 4 pounds in the last week too!  Only a few more pounds to go until he will be back to his ideal weight. 

Blix may even get out to Meet and Greet in Hermitage for a couple of hours this weekend.  He is really excited about that! 

GREYT Day for Blix!!!

Blix had a FANTASTIC checkup!!!  His leg looks so much better and will now be left unwrapped.  It looks SO GOOD compared to where it was two weeks ago.  The eye injury we were worried about looks great now too.  The vet said at this point some exercise will be good for him, so he will not longer be completely confined to an x-pen with several very short walks a day.  He'll be free to do SOME playing around the house and in the yard while supervised (within reason of course). 

Blix has gained just over 2 pounds in 5 days!!!  Up until this point, he had been steadily losing weight, so this is HUGE!!!  He still has a lot to gain, but his appetite is good I have no doubt he will continue to put weight back on.  Blix seems to finally truly be "turning the corner."  Thanks so much to everyone who has been sending good thoughts for this very special boy.

More updates will be coming soon, so be sure to check back!

Still Doing Well

I didn't post an update on Blix after his vet visit yesterday because there wasn't much to update, but after so many e-mails checking on him, I thought I should. 

The checkup went well.  I wasn't able to see his leg between bandages changes, but I am told the healing is going okay.  Blix acts like he feels GREAT!  He'd run crazy around the yard if he could, he wants to play in the house, and his tail is wagging nonstop.  There is a world of difference between where this boy was a week ago and where he is now.  His weight is still much lower than it should be and we are working on that.  I'll post another update soon with pictures.  The next vet check is Friday.

Blix sends kisses to all his fans!
