    We actually canned a ton of pumpkin last fall to have for emergencies!

    That’s a great idea. I always freeze a lot of pumpkin for baking but I never thought about canning it. I may have to try it this year (we love canning). Shelby LOVES pumpkin!

    She is doing much better today. She finally went to the bathroom yesterday and agin today - all normal. So she is back on her dog food and we increased the amount she is fed. So I know she will gain those 2 lbs back ( I really prefer to keep her at 25lbs but the vet wants 26).

    Thanks everyone for your great suggestions.

    So glad things are taking a positive turn! Gaining a bit of weight will be better for gaining strength too! Great news!!!

    Sometimes farmers are looking to get rid of pumpkins that still remain in the field after Halloween. WE got a bunch really cheap that way!

    She is so much better today! Gave her a much needed bath this afternoon and they we played fetch for a long time. I think she pulled out every single toy she has. I weighed her today and she gained a half pound so she will be back to where the vet wants her in no time. No watch when I take her back for a weight check they better not tell me she needs to loose weight
