Educating guests and the final chair unveiling!

The other day we had someone in the house who without knowing offered Boscoe a table scrap treat! I swear I almost lunged across the room shouting NOOOOO... probably wasn't that dramatic but certainly felt like it.

This prompted me to realize (especially with a 15 year old and her friends) that we cant educate everyone.. and we cant be with Boscoe 24/7. So  the Martha Stewart in my took a photo of Boscoe and added some text in Adobe Illustrator with a note that says " Please don't feed me or leave food on the floor as I have a paralyzed esophagus and can choke. Thank you for keeping me safe! Boscoe". I had sent my husband a text and asked him to pick up a nice frame for me, for those who dont really know me I take pictures often.. so I dont think he thought anything of this request.. but you should have seen his face when I put my work of art in a frame.. and asked him to hang it like a freaking Picaso above his bailey chair in the kitchen. It looks nice and serves as a educational warning for guests.

Also I have to give props where they are due.. My husband puts up with alot in general. Since the dog has been diagnosed and I have been 100% focussed on his recovery and management my husband has REALLY put up with a lot.. And 99% of the time with a smile on his face. So when he agreed to finish Boscoes chair so it matched the kitchen cupboards, add leather backing so it looked like the kitchen chairs I knew I was a lucky lady but when he spent the time cutting a doggie place mat for my furry lil' boy I knew that I have the best husband in the world. ( I did already know it but seems only right to add it now as emphasis for dramatic effect) Thanks Kevin. The chair looks awesome and Boscoe is comfortable but most importantly fashionable.. Nate Berkus eat your heart out.. I see a line of custom bailey chairs in our future if we ever loose our jobs. :-)

And just for the record I didn't pose Boscoe like that! This is au natural.. he looks at me with utter contempt until the timer goes off at the 30 minute mark.

As for Boscoe's status he is doing well. He is over the AP.. and behaving much more like his old self. He is snoring way more and way louder but otherwise seems to have recovered. I am continuing his regime of Homeopathic meds and probiotics to build up his internal systems.I am also found a new potential food for him from "Honest Kitchen" http://www.thehonestkitchen.com/
At The Honest Kitchen, they make dehydrated, human-grade natural dog food  so I am thinking of giving it a try to add more calories and to take away the processed foods all together.
