Squeaky and KT (GA)

Good Morning World! Welcome to our home!
First - THANK YOU for all that visited KT's condo yesterday and answered my questions. Seems like the consensus is to either shoot more hours apart or try stopping it all together.

KT's still playing beach ball but that bounce should break today. I did go ahead and give him a 'squish' this morning, we'll see where this takes us. Hopefully we'll see a stable good number in a few hours and it will stay there. He's eaten well but wants FRESH CHICKEN Mama! Not last night's, fix me FRESH! Sorry silly boy, I fixed a big pot last night, not cooking again this morning!

We seem to be fighting another infection somewhere in his head. This seems to reoccur too often. His eye is really leaky, he's not feeling well altho' I can't pinpoint just where. Clindamycin cut it last time, I started it again yesterday. All P's are in place, he's just 'quiet'. His 'play' is short but it's there. His numbers always skyrocket when he does this too.
All other fuzzy feetz are doing well. Leo had to have another depo shot last week, he's breathing well again now. Snow is still battling his poop issues - he's still getting 1/4 tsp Miralax 2x a day as well as laxatone daily. I feel sorry for him when I have to give him that - 'here baby, have a mouthful of brown vaseline'... :roll: Everyone else is their usual silly selves - Lily, Pepper and MooMoo are curled up in their spots asleep because baby Comet/MonkeyBoy is in his crate. When he's out, no one gets any rest. He just loves to pick on Lily as she'll still run - the rest of them just hiss at him, Pepper puts her paw on his head and holds him down when he gets really silly.
Puppy Mill babies update - 'Junior' is still doing well, is now walking on a leash in the yard fairly confidently most of the time. He's not pottied on the floor in several days. 'Johnny', the 'checked out' one is doing WONDERFUL for him. He's had his 'switch' in the ON position for several days now, almost a week! I can pick him up without him grabbing on and clinging or staying stiff. He's also started being first to the gate to get out in the mornings AND coming to me to hold him! That's another 1000%! When I pick him up, he starts stretching his head and neck toward the 'house' door wanting to go inside. We let him sit with us in the recliner - he's now sitting comfortably rather than stiff there too. The shaking has mostly stopped altho' that's not a bad thing, the shaking helps them get rid of extra anxiety instead of it building up. I have to catch him at the right time for him to pee outside but he's spent his life peeing in his crate and laying in it before we rescued them. He's also letting us mess with his feet, another huge step forward. His pads are covered in scars from sharp wires in whatever kind of pen they kept him in but the ridges are softening, he's walking comfortably. I don't have pics of these 2 boys but I DO have a pic of the 2 girls rescued at the same time! Here's 'June' and 'Miley'. 'June' is the blonde one, Junior looks like her. This was taken before we finished cutting mats out of Miley - you can see the sores on her sides where the hair was twisted together from her feet, legs and belly. Her chest wasn't finished yet either - you can still see some of the on the facing right of her head. She's all dematted and sores healed now.
HUGS to all that visit today!!! Stay cool!
