[Dailydrool] Kelvin's story

[Karen]

Carmen,

I am thrilled to hear that Kelvin is "home".  Yours is the most perfect home for him because you understand his needs.  You have the patience to help him not only learn that love is a good thing but to help him be healthy.  

I am wondering if maybe the separation  anxiety is because you were the first kind person he has met.  My Nelly seems to be the same way.  She can't stand it when I leave without her, even if it is to take out the trash.  I really think they form a special attachment to that first caring person.  

Nelly Belle still has a lot of fears but we are working through them.  Brooms, loud noises, vacuum, and even picking up limbs out of the yard will send her running.  I am sure that the little things that we take for granted probably were used abusively on these droolers.

Is it possible that Kelvin may be gluten intolerant?  I know that with my granddaughter (Celiac's disease) if she gets any gluten in her diet she gets a tummy ache and always horrible gas.  I know with my Abby if she gets any wheat, corn, barley or soy (all contain gluten) she  also gets some of the foulest gas that seems to go on for days besides the rash.

Welcome Home Kelvin.  We are sending you weight gain and "no gas" drool to help you become a healthy boy.  God Bless you Carmen for being Kelvin's angel.  I am sure Kelvin will become a healthy, happy boy with your care.

Belly Rubs to All,
Karen and The Dog House Gang
