My Little Road Trip

Fall has arrived in all it's glory. I find myself being a hazard on the road. I try so hard to drink in every bit of it's beauty that I don't keep my eyes on the road like I should when I'm driving. Yesterday I drove to kalamazoo for some shopping and took the long scenic drive home. I didn't have my camera with me so today I hit the road again... camera in tow.

I just let the roads lead me......

I stopped along the roads whenever something caught my eye, stopped at a few city parks, the Paw-Paw river, a few U-pick fruit farms, a cider mill, the Chocolate Garden, even stopped at the rest area on I-94 just because it was so beautiful. I bought caramel apples, apple cider, and chocolate truffles. What a beautiful day!!!!!

And now a Zoe update.... Still not doing well. Today is day 8 that she hasn't eaten any food. She's losing a lot of weight. A few days ago she did eat about 2 tablespoons of food and I was hopeful that she would start to eat. The food didn't stay down and she still will not eat at all. I sit on the floor with her begging her to eat. I try to hand feed her, I bribe her with chicken, sausage, canned food, bologna, you name it. We had her to the vet on Monday, Wednesday and Friday last week. She's had abdominal x-rays and blood work. He liver enzymes are 3 times the normal values. Dr. says it could be from a virus or bacteria. Zoe is such a scavenger when it comes to food that we are concerned that she ate something that has either poisoned her or given her a bowel obstruction. X-rays didn't show an obstruction but the vet can't be sure. I don't know how she's walking around not eating that long. She does drink water and lots of it. She still wags her tail when we talk to her. She'll be going back to the vet again Monday. We'll keep you posted.
