<DIV>yesterday i brought gus for his first taste of ice cream to the local ice
cream maker. he had a small bowl of vanilla soft serve (which may not be
homemade). he loved every minute of it, BUT...</DIV>
<DIV>last night he was breathing so hard, i got scared. not panting, just
his chest rising and falling at a very rapid rate. otherwise he was very
normal. stretched out on the couch and snoozing, but with that fast, fast
rate. </DIV>
<DIV>he opted not to sleep with me, and instead slept in his favorite
chair. got up at 5:30, went out and ate a load of grass, then came in and
we went back to sleep, only to wake up to a poop accident surrounded by
grass.</DIV>
<DIV>is this all the result of sugar? he doesn't get any and is not used
to it. is his future one of sugar-free popsicles?</DIV>
<DIV>thanks for any help with this.</DIV>
<DIV>susan, loving slave to gus</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
