WEEK 2 UPDATE!!!

"You talking to me"

WEEK 2

Well, Sherman is feeling better!!!! He may not look 100% yet but we can tell that he feels a whole lot better. He's spunky and extremely awkward, like cute puppy awkward. He gets these excited fits where he just likes to jump around, but it's almost like the "hot lava" game as a kid where every time his foot touches the ground he immediately has to pick it up. It's really funny. I've also come to realize he has a very short attention span... like a puppy, or my kid. I've tried to get a video of him playing and as soon as I pull out my phone he stops and either sits or comes to see what I have. Photos and video have proven to be somewhat difficult.

He looks so much younger

On a health note... SHERMAN IS GROWING NEW HAIR!!! This is just peach fuzz and I probably shouldn't be so excited about it but he has new hair growth all over. It's mostly noticeable on the top of his head and his legs but you can see it on both legs, butt, feet, chest, head... all over, besides right in the middle of his back right now. I'm not sure if it was just time or the meds but we tried a new cream called Nu-Stock. The cream turns him yellow (the cream is yellow in color) but has really seemed to help. We still have no idea what he is going to look like or what color he will turn out to be but the transformation is exciting.

NEW HAIR

What do you think? What do you think Sherman will look like when he's finished healing? (comment below)

Weight wise, Sherman is now at around 44 lbs. (weighed him yesterday). He still looks like he needs to put on a bunch of weight but to put in perspective just how emaciated he was... he was at 35 lbs when we got him.... 35!!!!!!. He still looks skinny and kinda malnourished but he's put on almost 10 lbs in a week just by feeding him the recommended amount of food based on his weight and age. He's doing so well, I almost can't believe it's the same dog.

Let's try a video

I'd also like to open it up if anyone has any specific questions they would like addressed or answered comment  here. I'd be happy to answer any that I can.


I realize its been about a week since I last posted and I'm sorry about that. My job is classified as "essential" so I'm still working, I'm also trying to limit undo exposure so I've been going to the grocery stores and getting supplies for the family. Needless to say, when I get home I'm greeted by a four year old that hasn't seen me all day and just wants to play. In the future I will really attempt to get two post in a week, sorry about this long delay.
