  1. Yep. Just got back from the vet. He had his first real food and water last night and was able to keep it down so far. That's huge. If he can keep it down today they can start a 3 day dewormer this evening. So that takes us to Wednesday. Hopefully if he doesn't have any set backs we can have him back Wednesday PM or Thursday. We were hoping to get him back a little earlier but that's not gonna happen. Good news and just ok news. He was actually walking around a little bit in his cage which isn't something we've witnessed. He was whimpering at us which was heartbreaking, as you can imagine. They recommended that we keep him quarantined at home in a bathroom for another month. I don't think we are going to do that. But haven't decided yet. He definitely can't go in the yard. That's out of the question. From what I understand, the virus will only be a problem on areas he soils. So hopefully we can stay on top of that and places he soils will have to be cleaned with bleach. The vet told us that Parvo can live in the soil or surfaces for up to 7 years. It's a dickhead of a virus. Thanks for checking in everyone.
  2. Just release it all together fuckers
  3. Thanks for asking. Still at the vet. Hasn't been able to get over nausea and diarrhea from his IV. He has to be able to do that so that he can have real food. Then he has to be able to keep it down. So they can give him dewormer meds. After that he'll need a good day or two before they release him. They said he will continue to "shed the virus" when he's home for up to a month. I'm not sure what that means for us as far as taking care of him but we'll figure it out. He'll definitely have to stay home and only go in our yard. So no walks. But whatever. He's on antibiotics to fight off secondary infection. We spoke to a vet tech today. We can't go see him over the weekend. She said that he feels better today. He has energy and some of his vigor back. He's up and barking at them. He's passing plenty of parasites in his feces so that's good. He's in a cone so that he can't pull out his IV. Because of that I know he's not sleeping well. We were hoping that he would be able to keep food down this weekend and maybe get him first part of next week. That doesn't seem to be the case. Wednesday will be 1 week and they said in most cases that how long it will take. I hope so. We miss him.
  4. I like Larson alot. That was a good one
  5. That is the only prerequisite.
  6. Gotta be able to get to Mexico and back in one day to vote
  7. I've been watching a Maine RE Agent's channel on YT. Land is so cheap up there if you're willing to be in the woods. Taxes are miniscule.
  8. In Dooley's voice- "They're doing a reboot."
  9. I don't know. I think he may be out. The fucking shadow
  10. Same thing happened to my last lab at about 12 years old. She was given a shot and was better. I think we ended up getting her a couple of rounds of shots She lived for about 8 more months. I'm glad we got that extra time together.
  11. Went to see Gus. He's tired here but they said this AM he was barking at everyone. So I take that as a good sign. Handsome devil.
  12. Made it through the night ok. Says he's alert which is good but they are quick to point out he's not out of the woods. No nausea. Which is good. We're still waiting to see if his little body can fight it off. Thanks for asking
  13. Nope. Most of those things have to be bleached or thrown away because he got sick on them, thus the virus can still be in it. We are going to throw everything away just to be safe. His kennel and bowls will be washed with bleach. Going to have to take him to PetSmart for new toys when he gets out.
  14. Thanks guys. Spoke to the vet this evening. He's had his monoclonal antibodies, nausea medicine and an IV. Apparently he's alert and has more energy. So that's a good sign. They will call us in the AM with another update and then they have visiting hours around lunch where we'll be able to see him through a window. I hate the idea that he thinks we abandoned him. That part kills me.
  15. Jordan Washington being nearly 270 seems less than ideal.
  16. Well Gus is hospitalized at the vet with Parvo. He's had his 1st shot when we got him but apparently all the rain brings the virus to the surface and makes it easier to catch. He was throwing up last night and into the early AM hours so we got him in. He's going to be there about a week and it's touch and go. My wife and I and our 2 kids are a mess. We've had him for 5 days and our house feels empty without him.
  17. Boudin stuffed bacon wrapped pork tenderloin (From Buccee's) with some fixins The tenderloin was awesome. Came frozen. Thawed and baked at 375 for about an hour. I hate going to Buccee's but I will make another trip and buy 5 of those bad boys.
  18. If I was a billionaire with Fuck You money, I'd buy up all these farms and rename them Haha Farms. Or maybe FAAFO Farms and I'd sell them to people of color.
  19. Gus now thinks his middle name is No. "Gus No!"
