King Goes to the Doctor

Hi Friends! It has been a busy week here at Kings Castle! Tuesday was the busiest of the week for me! Momma asked that I not post about it until we had more details. Now we do so here it goes… the first half of the day I spent at work with Momma, we had our all HR meeting where we learned about all the great things happening on our Mission Team. One day soon I’ll post more about that. The second half of the day was not as much fun. It was my “well dog” visit. I saw Dr. Randy this year he is amazing! Last year I saw Dr. Jess and I really like her (she is very pretty). This year Momma had some concerns so she requested Dr. Randy (he owns the clinic and he is the first Doctor to help us with Maddie taking out her wire). Well Dr. Randy said I had a very strong heart he was extremely impressed for a guy my age, he also said other than a tiny cloud my eyes are still very bright. Here is the second part, I’m loosing hair, he said it’s very common for tiny Pomeranians like me, because we were bred so far down we don’t have enough growth hormone to keep our full coats. I have a condition called Alopecia. The good news is it won’t affect me at all, Momma said if I get chilled she put a sweater on me. So here is the worst part of the day. I lost 2 pounds since last year. Some dogs would be happy, but when your a 7 pound Pom that’s alot. Dr. Randy and Momma had a long talk and they decided since I am so healthy otherwise they should dig into my health a little more. Do you have any idea what that means????! They had to draw blood AND take urine. I felt completely violated!! It’s a good thing the tech was so sweet and cute! They did a complete work up and panels on everything. Soooooo here are the results - Here is a direct quote from Dr. Randy’s email- “WOW!!! King’s bloodwork and urinalysis look amazing for his age!”

I knew I was fine, now Momma does too. Why did I lose weight? BECAUSE I’M OLD! lol! I have something that’s called muscle wasting, I probably won’t be playing football or running marathons, but I can enjoy everything else! So there you have it! Now I’m off to have a nice dinner and watch some Friday night TV.

Love Your Very Healthy Old Man, King
