<p class=MsoNormal>I went and visited with Norm this morning. He is still
heavily drugged and pretty subdued. I crawled into his GIANT crate
and rubbed his ears and petted him for 45 minutes. He slept most of the
time but did manage a tail wag or two for me. During the night, his IV
went bad and they put in a new one this morning. Then about 11:00 am
today, Norm decided he wanted that one out and removed it. Rather than
have to try to put a new IV in his rear leg, they left it out. They will
be trying him on water and a little food this evening. He will have to
stay in the hospital again tonight. He looks soooo sad, but I know he
needs to be there and he has the very best care. I will be going back
this evening for some more “love on Norm” time.<o:p></o:p></p>
