Brandon was able to come back HOME yesterday afternoon, and boy was he excited to be back!
The vet said we don't have to monitor his water, since he's not over drinking (knew that already...) but he is on a very strong antibiotic, in hopes that it will keep the infection (if that's what's wrong) gone.
So far, so good - When picking him up yesterday, they told us since he's been on the antibiotics he's had NO accidents and that has followed through for now! It's amazing to have a dog that can wait a whole TWO hours, instead of needing to pee every 5min!
I'm hoping & praying that these antibiotics continue to work (he'll be on them for 3 weeks), since we don't have many other options to try, but of course, we'll have to wait and see.
With being in a kennel for the last 9 days, Brandon is doing extremely well. He settled in fine back at home, and even had to run some errands yesterday. My younger sister even took Brandon into Food Lion with her, to pick up a few things... and they actually worked WELL together! (This is quite a surprise to me, since Brandon doesn't always work well with other people... he tends to be a "one person" dog). I'm so happy he's settled back in so well, and I'm looking forward to working him again!
I will keep you guys updated about Brandon, and he hopefully will be back on the blog & posting shortly.
I also wanted to take a minute to wish Rudy a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!! Today (March 17th - St. Patrick's Day) is Rudy's SECOND birthday :) Wherever he is, I sure hope he's happy and enjoying himself :) Hopefully I receive some news on him in a few weeks.
On another quick note... I know several of my blogger friends have already noticed, yes my email account has been hacked and I'm so sorry about the spam email(s) that were sent out to any of you guys (sadly, all my previous emails/contacts are currently gone - and I'm unable to send out an apology email at the moment... hopefully yahoo! is working on getting them back for me).
Thanks for keeping Brandon in your thoughts & prayers over the last week, things still aren't for sure whether he'll stay better or not... but I'm hoping for the best!
Enjoy the cute pictures below of Brandon,

Please know that in the below pictures, our puppies shouldn't be allowed to do this... but when (or if) it happens, you always have to grab a picture before giving corrections!! (otherwise you'd miss a really cute photo opportunity!)

Hehehe. When Dexter was a puppy he knocked out a screen and was halfway out the window before I stopped him (now we only open the windows from the top).
Great news about Brandon. I hope he continues to improve and I am looking forward to hearing that Rudy has found a great home.
About the hacking. Huh? You mean you aren't in Spain being held hostage by the hotel? Sheesh. What a lame-o scheme that one is.

p.s. Happy 2nd Birthday Rudy! Paws crossed you find an amazing and loving forever home!
My human's Yahoo e-mail account was also hacked and spams sent out to all her contacts. Sorry to read it happened to your Raiser. It is not right.
Prayers are still with Brandon and you of course. I think he is now on the mend!!
Hurray! We are so happy to hear that Brandon is home. I think I said River had a bladder infection, that they never figured out what caused it--but 6 MONTHS of antibiotics (we used lower level cephalexin) and he's finally showing lower counts. I even paid for 2 cultures ($80 each) and nothing grew!! Very weird.
I hope that 3 more weeks will fix it for him.

Oh dear Brandon, I didn't know you have been sick pal, but we are all sending our best healing purrs your way. Happy Birthday Rudy!
I am over here from Betty's blog - blog hopping. I sure hope Brandon gets well soon and that is so cute looking out the window. Here in GA that would bring in 9000 pollens in! lol sandie
So glad to hear Brandon is home and things seem to be looking up.
I have been busy outside with the unusual glorious weather we have been having. We also had to get all vaccs updated so we can get license tags. (Due next week. Of course last minute!)
Happy Birthday Rudy!
Also good to hear Brandon is getting better at working with another person. That is a big step.
Brandon, we are very glad that you are home and hope that everything continues to go well for you.
Happy 2nd birthday to Rudy!
best wishes
Clive & Murray
