Lots of rain last night and this morning.

Generally, we do not mind rain at all. Unless it is pouring, the walks go on and sometimes we even play in the park with the ball.

Sparky likes these days to drink a lot of water from the puddles formed on the alleys. I let him do it yesterday and today but won't do it again.

My wife explained that if the water is not very clean, it may have lots of bacteria in it which, considering that his immune system is weak from the cancer and prednisone, can make his stomach upset.

So I will have to keep him from drinking from the puddles and bring water bottles and a bowl on the walks in case he gets thirsty. Which he does often both inside and outside.

Other than this, Sparky is still doing the same as in the last few weeks.

Nothing changed in his life. Eating very well, sleeping and resting a lot inside, playing outside on good weather (less on bad weather), drinking lots of water and peeing.

We are exhausted from the number of walks that he needs but there are not many options available.

Peeing inside is not good and neither is wearing a dog diaper.

I refused so far buying the diapers since he may be uncomfortable wearing them and would probably take them off during the night.
