Poor Fritz Pup --- had his first trip to the advanced critical care last night. He appears to have colitis. Not fun for any of us. He's been a bit droopy and not eating for a couple of days and I was going to take him in today, but after detecting bloody stools (icky, sorry) I had to take him in.

I thought he might have eaten a stuffed animal eyeball or one of the green army men. His x-rays were clear and his bloodwork was good so they think it is a random illness. Let's hope.

Mini-schnauz. are prone to pancreatinitis so we have to be careful. He does get weird and won't eat much along with accidents when I go to AZ and such, but I'm hoping that is just stress and not something bigger.

He is our spoiled baby dog so he is digging this extra pampering.

I hope Fritz is OK - hopefully just a virus. We love the little guy. He got quiet attached to Jennifer. Gidget gets that funky stomach stuff everytime someone leaves home too!

Keep in touch - I'll be emailing you some pics soon - of Fritz, the kids and Jen!!!

Lots of Love from Kansas
