Marvin Update

This morning started out the same as yesterday. He just laid there and looked at me while I tried to get him to go outside. Usually if I mention the word "outside", he will run over to the door. Finally, around 9:30 a.m., he got up and went out. He then stayed over by the fence all day. I called the vet and made an appointment for this afternoon.

Andy got home and Marvin was still lying by the fence, but Andy was able to get him to walk over to him even though he was still cautious. Since that happened, we decided to wait and see what would happen today. If he was still acting strange tomorrow morning, we'd take him in.

I am happy to report that Marvin started getting much better around 6:00 or so. He came in and gobbled up his food. Last night, he had eaten all of his food, but very slowly. When Andy asked him if he wanted to go outside, he ran over to the door. I just heard him barking out there. I haven't heard him bark since Tuesday evening.

We are thinking that maybe he just had a 24-hour stomach bug or something? We are just really thankful that he seems to be back to his old self for now. We hope he will be around for a while longer. Thank you to everyone for your prayers!
