Baloo’s Celebrity Shout Out
Since our Thanksgiving update Baloo had a few rough days. He has stomach upset that the vets don’t feel is tied to chemo. Both our labs have been inexplicably ill for over a week, so it’s been rough going for the humans and canines.
He was well enough to receive his second dose of chemo, but we had to postpone the start of physical therapy. His lethargy has been disheartening, and understandable, considering his body was fighting both the tummy trouble and that second round of chemo.
His greetings at the end of my work day went by the wayside, and he skipped all attempts at our evening snuggles. It’s possible this has been the lowest he’s felt since surgery.
I’d like to think that it cheered Baloo up slightly to know that last week one the stars on a favorite TV show of mine, ‘Grimm,’ the dog loving Bitsie Tullock, gave him a shout out in his recovery. She has a wonderful Frenchie named Henry that she’s doing physical therapy with for another medical issue, and Bitsie left supportive comments for Baloo on social media.
I thought it was really amazing that she took the time to cheer Baloo on! Dog people have such wonderful hearts.
Baloo’s cheering squad includes one of his human’s favorite actors, a true dog advocate!
Luckily, last night for the first time in about seven days, I had a wagging tail waiting after work, an epic game of squeaky toy before dinner, and Baloo came lumbering into my room to seek out an evening snuggle, so he and I enjoyed Star Wars Episode IV together at bedtime. Whatever had him down is in its way out.
It was a tough week for everyone, but I’m s9 relieved glad to see signs that Baloo is feeling a bit better! He and I will be sure to watch ‘Grimm’ together on Friday – I’m sure Baloo is also a fan!

Awww I’m glad things are better with your sweetie. Sorry things were ruff, but very happy that everyone is bouncing back. Love the celeb shout out too, how cool! Other than that, what do you think helped him start to feel better? Any clues from the vet as to what it was?

Nothing better than a snuggle in bed! Such a cutie. Glad you’re feeling better. Since it was both pups, it was probably just a passing thing so hopefully no repeats.
