CHRIS...YES I SEE THE OTHER IS CLOSING IN ON OZARK.   PLEASE EVERYONE 
VOTE VOTE VOTE... DAILY ..IT IS SO IMPORTANT AND THE FUNDS ARE SO 
GRATEFULLY RECEIVED...FOR US.....NOW WE COULD TAKE THORBUS TO THE 
SPECIALIST CAUSE I THOUGHT HE HAD A BRAIN TUMOR OR DIABETES 
INSIPIDUS....BUT NORMAL LABS AND NORMAL SPECIFIC GRAVITIES......AND 
TAKING A GOOD HISTORY.....TURNS OUT OUR DR. BOSTWICK THINKS HE HAS 
PSYCHOGENIC WATER DRINKING ......AND POSSIBLE ORGANIC BRAIN DYSFUNCTION. 
OUR HOUNDIE HOMESTEAD BASSET IN RESCUE.......SPINS, BARKS AT THE SKY, 
AND DRINKS ABOUT A QT. EVERY HOUR AT LEAST AND THEN URINATES IT OUT AND 
SOMETIMES NOT OUTSIDE THRU THE DOGGIE DOOR....WHICH HAS LEFT OUR OFFICE 
AND LIVING ROOM HERE WITH A SMELL THAT IS NOT NICE.

HAS ANYONE EVER HEARD OF SUCH A THING?    IT IS NEW TO ME.  SO, DUE TO 
THE URINE SMELL IN THE HOUSE, I NOW PULLED MOST OF THE RUGS UP...WHICH 
MY GSD ARGUS NEEDED SO HE COULD WALK BETTER.....THORBUS IS SPENDING A 
FEW DAYS OUT IN THE SHELTER NOW TILL I FIX THE SMELL PROBLEM.  THANK 
GOODNESS OUR VOLUNTEERS THAT TORE OUT THEIR CARPET........PIECEDIT OUT 
TO OUR SPECS AND CAME AND LAID IT DOWN FOR THE SHEPHERD TO WALK 
BETTER..  ARGUS HAS HIP AND JOINT PROBLEMS AND CANNOT STAND FOR MORE 
THAN 3 MINUTES AT A TIME OR SO. .....

A CAT SCAN AND FURTHER URINE SPEC. GRAV. TESTINGS.....WELL.....VERY 
SPENDY AND THOR IS NOW OVER 12 YRS OLD AND SINCE HE IS STABLE....WE ARE 
JUST MONITORING HIM.  WOULD LOVE TO LEARN MORE ABOUT HIS CONDITION IF 
ANY OF YOU HAVE A DOG WITH THAT PROBLEM.,

THORBUS DRINKS SO MUCH SO OFTEN.......THE ENDS OF HIS EARS ARE 
RAW......AND I CLEAN THEM....DRY THEM......TO NO AVAIL..   GUESS IT HAS 
COME TO EITHER WEARING A SNOOD OR CLOTHES PINING UP.    ??  HE NEVER HAS 
HAD A SNOOD ON BUT GUESS I MUST BUY ONE.   A COTTON ONE ..ONE THAT 
BREATHES ......ANY RESCUES OUT THERE SELL THEM?  I JUST DO NOT REMEMBER 
WHICH ONES.    THANKYOU ALL......AND SENDING HEALING DROOL AND ALL OUR 
LOVE TO CONNIE AND ROGER FOR MISS MOLLY TAKING OFF SO SUDDENLY TO THE 
BRIDGE.....BLESS HER SWEET HEART.    AND HEALING DROOL TO ALL OTHERS , TOO.
