White Dog did not understand the significance weeks ago when Steve came home and announced his doctor had proclaimed him due for an over 50 colonoscopy. The procedure is tomorrow and White Dog is very nervous by the fasting/ internal cleansing rituals that Steve must undergo tonight. She skipped her meal in favor of a small bowl of broth (like Steve had). White Dog waits at the bathroom door every time Steve dashes to the facility. She sits pressed against him on the the sofa and is alert to his every movement. Mousie and Cookie toys stay nearby just in case Steve wants to play. Poor White Dog hates Steve's discomfort. We will all be glad when this is passed and we can have a celebratory feast.

White Dog - I had to help out mommy too a month ago when she had her first one of those tests. I would sit at the door and walk her back to the kitchen or couch when she would come out, I'd just get snuggled in, and then off we'd go again.

My mom said she hopes that everything turned out well!!!

Love,
