a tiny update on King's situation

Background:
When we adopted King from the rescue group last year, we met 2 ladies. One lady (D) was the liason between the group & us. She was the one to come to our house & meet us. She inspected the yard to make sure we had a fence, a dog house, etc. She met us at the place where King was being boarded when we met him the first time. The other lady (L) lives in the Dallas area & has been King's financial help from day 1. Even before we ever met him, L had an investment (both financially & emotionally) in him. She paid to have his leg fixed a few years ago before we had him.

When we adopted King, D & L were both so sweet & helpful. They have kept in touch over the course of the past year always checking in to see how King is doing. It's as if he is a member of their family & they're keeping up with him.

Today I emailed both of them a link to the previous post. Within a couple hours, the two of them had begun talking & cooking up a plan to help us. L is paying for a visit to a local vet on Friday so that we can get a second opinion, some xrays & ultrasound of King's belly. We don't intend to start any lengthy, expensive treatments on him if they find something seriously wrong. But we hope to figure out what is going on inside his tummy & figure out how to keep him most comfortable. With this sweet blessing, we'll have a bit more definitive answer about what's going on with our big sweetie. (and of course, if there is a simple problem with a simple treatment, we will go forward with that!)

Thank you L & D!!!
