<div dir="ltr">She is more ill than I first realized. She has had pain issues before, but that is now not her problem. She has had decreased appetite for about a week, and for the last day or two, explosive diarrhea. She had two vets on her case. I thought she had lonely hound syndrome, and I put a paw out to another basset  Mom, but she said no to a visit. I feel so alone, but I am hopeful that the future will be better. I am in tune with the weather, lots of rain outside, lots of tears inside. Anyway, I want the world to be positive, do not worry about me or Miss Nikki, we are strong. We are having a moment, and I really do not know how to close this. She is the last of the herd. So unexpected, and that is life.</div>
