What is wrong with Angus you ask? Well, first off, thanks for asking...very considerate of you. I think I mentioned that we took Angus into the Vet to get his bum checked out as he was scooting around for a while. His anal glands were expressed, and that should have been the end of it. But then the Vet weighed Angus and found that he had lost a kilogram since his last check-up. So they were trying to determine what might be wrong with him...if anything.
Upon the Vet's advice we started increasing Angus' food intake, and we have already noticed an increase in weight. The Vet asked about his drinking habits, his eating habits, whether or not he vomits often, etc. We're very happy to get the blood test done, but what we suspect is that there will actually be nothing wrong with him.
Angus is a dog who doesn't do anything half-assed. He always gives 100% regardless of what he is doing. He plays himself to exhaustion, he eats like it is his last meal, he drinks like he lives in the dessert, he does everything to extremes. That being said, we have taken Angus up Mt Kaukau many, many times this year, and he doesn't stroll up that hill, he attacks it! I suspect, he just wasn't eating enough for the amount of energy he was expending. But better to be safe than sorry.
Run: Today's run was delayed until the evening as we didn't have enough time to get the run out of the way before talking to Kristie's parents. The plan was to Skype, Run, then whatever. However, it didn't work out that way. It was more like: Skype, lolly-gag, amble around doing not much of anything, make lunch, nap, then run. Oh, we ran, we just delayed it by a few hours. Good run though; 13.5 KM in 1:16:32.
