So, for all our friends and family worrying about us, we are super happy and feeling good...and tired from the long summer :)
Mika update:
Mika has had an amazing summer full of jumping off the pier and swimming in Boulder Lake and chasing deer around as much as she can. We lost her the other day for 30 minutes while she caught scent of a big doe and took off. I think she learned her lesson though after she threw up four times because her body was so excited and tired. I have never seen anything like it but Jay said it reminded him of a cross country meet. Ha ha zinkels and rob.
She was recently diagnosed with panosteitis by our vet Dr. Kurt. Panosteitis is a bone disease that develops in large breed puppies. When she has growth spurts, the bones in her legs become very painful and she won't want to use them. Right now her entire right side is not working so well. She has to lean against chairs or the sofa to get comforted by us. All we can do is wait for her to grow out of it and give her some baby aspirin so that it doesn't hurt as much. She is going to be bigger than we originally thought!!
Upcoming events: Beef-a-rama, more weddings and watching the leaves fall...can't wait!
