Pepper

This is little dog #2 a.k.a. Pepper. Pepper is an 13 yr old Papillion. We have had him since he was about 3 months old. Here you see him fiercely guarding the couch.

Here is Pepper working hard to keep the house safe.

I recently found out that Pepper has an enlarged heart and congestive heart failure. He also has a tumor on his side. He probably does not have a lot longer to live. He is taking Lasix which I get from our local pharmacy. The only way I can give it from the pharmacy is in liquid form as they don't have pills in a low enough dose. So, I give him a little chicken broth with his medicine and he thinks it's just great.

The vet's guess for a prognosis was 6 mos to a year. It's been about six months and he's still hangin' in there.
