Danny urinated a little bit this afternoon--all by himself!
Shortly after Caregiver Bobby took Danny Boy to the big play yard for his afternoon "playtime," he radioed me by walkie-talkie saying that Danny Boy had just urinated a little bit! (Danny has been unable to urinate on his own for several days now because of the growing tumor on (or near) his urethra, and we've had to use a catheter on him twice a day to eliminate the urine.)
This is really Big News, and I rushed outside to see for myself. Bobby held up the plastic half ball that Danny had urinated in, which showed the little trickle of urine inside the the ball. (This is Toby's favorite ball, by the way, but as you probably know dogs are not very respectful of each other's items or territory.) We cheered for Danny's success!! Then as Danny walked around the big yard, we watched him closely from several feet away, and every time he squatted (he still strains to urinate), Bobby and I got on our hands and knees to see if we could see any urine, and we did! It wasn't much, but at least it was some!
Tonight when Bobby helps me use the catheter on Danny Boy, we'll see how much less urine there is than usual, which will help us know how much he passed by himself today. Hopefully the tumor is shrinking a bit.
This was such good news, I telephoned Bill, who was in his car half way to Houston, where he'll be working at his regular job this week. (I'll be emailing this update to Bill, and he'll put it on the website tonight from his hotel room.)
Person may come to see Amber tomorrow
A young lady called this afternoon inquiring about Amber, whose picture she had seen on our website. The woman said she'd be here tomorrow afternoon to visit with Amber for a while. There may be a possible adoption here, and if the woman thinks she would like Amber to become her companion, we'll make the home visit this coming Saturday to see how that goes.
