SouthTown Star and Meatball Madness!

Caine's article appeared in the SouthTown Star today. We are so happy that the newspaper picked it up because we just need to get the word out. If we can save one dog from this horrific accident, that is worth it! See his article in today's paper or online at:

This morning during his breakfast, he successfully swallowed EVERY MEATBALL. He did not have any trouble with them or drop any on the floor. This is a first for him. We are so proud of how far he has come.

I've had suggestions about putting chicken broth in his water fountain. We were going to try that as well, but have run out of chicken broth. We are worried that the chicken broth will clog the fountain some how, so we are a bit unsure of that. We have also ordered a bowl set that will stand at his eye level. This was a suggestion for Dr. King so when he is eating on his own again he does not have to bend down and run the risk of choking.

This afternoon we also sent an email to the shredder company, Novitech. It outlined the situation and had pictures attached. We also scanned in all of his veterinarian bills thus far and attached those. Hopefully we will hear back from them shortly.

We have been receiving more donations. Thank you so much. Every penny will go towards helping Caine and ensuring his needs are met. I am so glad that there are people out there who care about animals as much as my family and people who are so generous. Please continue to spread the word about the dangers of shredders and dogs.

We are off to PetSmart (currently running low on our Science Diet dog food) on a field trip and to lighten Caine's spirits. He's been a little depressed yesterday and today. Maybe the trek to his favorite store will help.
