Today, I was out just taking fun shots of the dogs and I got this one. It is far from perfect, but somehow, catching old man Darby from behind appeals to me. I thought I was going to lost this dog when he was 5 years old. He went into liver failure, and on biopsy had extensive cirrhosis (scarring of the liver). The liver failure was an acute process on top of a bad chronic one. Interestingly, through some dietary and supplement adjustments, he is doing better now than he was last year....and he is now 9 years old.

Gabi continues to grow. She looks a little bigger every day. Right now, comparing her to friends whippets at the stage she isn't looking HUGE. I am hoping that she has 4 puppsters inside....but only time will tell.
