		<description><![CDATA[Mike got neutered today. At 8 mos, it&#8217;s the longest we have ever waited to get a dog spayed/neutered. We (and the vet) wanted to wait to see how his bladder was doing. While I won&#8217;t bet the farm that Mike is 100% house trained, I do feel his bladder problems are slowing resolving to [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[Mike&#8217;s not been limping since the day after the vet. He sometimes seems to be walking weird, but no limp. We&#8217;ve noticed he is growing again, this time starting to fill out in places, like his face. That&#8217;s what I like about mutts. Some days they look like one breed, the next day they look [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I took Mike to the vet today. Yesterday, while we were gone, he did something to his back right leg. He wasn&#8217;t bearing any weight on it at first, then slowly was using it at times, mostly when standing still. He was uncomfortable but we were certain it wasn&#8217;t a break. He let me manipulate [...]]]></description>

He was eating Wellness Just For Puppy and as soon as that bag is empty, he&#8217;ll start Wellness Super 5 Mix adult. Our other dogs eat [...]]]></description>

Joella is having some difficulty with her back legs and Tuesday (April 21st) she will be having surgery on one of her ankles.

		<description><![CDATA[Good question. I&#8217;d done some research earlier. The rule of thumb is that what they weigh at 6 mos is half what they&#8217;ll way as an adult. If that holds true, then Mike will be about 80lbs or so.
He hasn&#8217;t added any adult bulk. He&#8217;s tall, almost as tall as Joella and Sam now. But [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I regularly read a vet&#8217;s blog called Dolittler (how could I resist that title?). Dr. Pat Khuly lives in Florida and shares not just the high-tech bits of being a veterinarian, she also shares tips, tricks, and bits from her own life.
Anyway, today&#8217;s post was about Hershey&#8217;s Cocoa Shell Mulch. Made from cocoa bean shells, [...]]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[At least, we think we have a diagnosis.
Mike&#8217;s vet, Dr. Knepshield, called Tuesday. His urine culture results were negative so no weird infection going on. Combined that news with the well-within-norm blood work up, the cause of Mike&#8217;s urinary problem narrowed down significantly.
The vet thinks Mike has what is called &#8220;urge incontinence&#8221;. It is more [...]]]></description>
