Update.

Curly Joe is alive and well. Hyper as ever. I'm ashamed to say I still haven't signed him up for puppy classes; my excuse is that it's hard to find the time now that I work night shift. He needs it, though, and I'm going to do my best to get him straightened out.

Still no word from the doctor about finding someone who can fix his shunt, but I'm choosing to remain hopeful. In the meantime, he seems to be hanging in there with his special food, Hepato Support and lots of TLC. Last week, I let him out to go potty and heard all this noise on the front porch. I opened the door and saw Curly, jumping and darting around. All three geese had their heads stretched through the slats in the porch railing and Curly Joe was playing with them as they snapped at him. Now, they wanted to kill him, but to a puppy, it's a Fantastic New Game. He was having the time of his life.

Guess what? Curly Joe turns a year old in a week (Feb 2nd).
