Friday wasn't a good day. My face was swollen all day, and I was mopey. Mom and dad took me for a ride, and that didn't even help. I didn't even want to sit up and stick my nose out the window. I didn't even go upstairs to sleep Friday night. My back legs are retaining a lot of fluid now just like my front legs, and there's more in my belly too. It makes it hard to go up the steps.

Saturday morning my face was really huge because it didn't go down much Friday, and it grew bigger over night. In the afternoon, mom was in her garden and flower beds so I sat outside. My face got better, but I didn't have much energy. We all went for a ride later in the day, and I got a little more energy and was happier after that.

Today was another so-so day. I don't seem to have a lot of energy the past few days like I did in the middle of last week. Mom and dad are upset because they try to get me to play, and I don't want to. I understand that this is the natural progression of this disease. Not much else to say.

Love,
Casey
