Stayin' Alive

LIAM STAYIN' ALIVE

Liam attains age 16 and 3/4 May 1, 2024 

 

 

 

"Whether you're a brother or whether you're a mother
You're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Feel the city breakin' and everybody shakin'
And we're stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive, stayin' alive
Ah, ha, ha, ha, stayin' alive

 
Oh, when you walk..."

 

Bee Gees

and it goes on

Jimmy Carter is doing it

so will Liam

 

getting the pills in

these are keeping him okay

and preventing deterioration

 

an updated food pill delivery method

 butter chucks 

the gabapetin on the left two

denamarin the blue

land O Lakes Butter

I insert the pills when he is sleeping

 

a reminder from prior blog

we are

grateful my first dog has had such a long life

his tiny nodule of thyroid cancer is stable

his weak legs strengthened by 

Dasuquin  chews

for joint and muscle weakness

Denamarin tablets 

to lower high liver values

Gabapentin gels

control high blood pressure and anxiety

see his pills in photo

 

 

I have learned that gabapentin may be used by humans too. this is great news.  and I dont need butter to take it. 

 

 

 

 

Liam walks

             

               stands on 4 legs

not all the time but at least half 

 

celebrates St Patrick's Day

 eats ice cream

 

 

we accept all that happens in home hospice 

 

 

Liam now has a bit of trouble seeing.  He hugs the walls as he walks and steps in his kibble.  

I hand feed him whatever we are eating. He has hamburger, steak, chicken, pork loin and pork chops.

 

I bring his water to him if his legs are too weak

If I hear a bong I know he has hit his head and I go looking for him
