Patches Journey

So it’s been a few weeks on the CBD oil therapy and I have to tell you, doggy is happy.  A little TOO happy.  Daddy may have been giving her a bit more than I told him.  Sort of a medication error but not in a bad way.  What went down you ask?  So……

I cooked chicken livers as a treat because I was running out of ideas.  They cooled and I decided to let her sniff them just to get a gauge on her interest in them.  She used her head to knock the bowl out of my hands, stole a large chicken liver and RAN to the living room.  By the time I caught up it was gone and she was looking for more.  Prompting my son to call her Notorious P.I.G.  I chose Piggy Smalls.  For the next half hour we chuckled and came up with more nick names.  I’ll share cause I’m still giggling.  The “Nom nom” nominator, the Nom-meister, the nomster, nomerooni.  You’d have thought WE were the ones on CBD oil.

Then the other night I got home from work and girly went NUTS.  And by nuts I mean she saw me, ran in a little circle and then rammed her head into me.  She then proceeded to lay on her back and wiggle around and snort and smack me with her paw.  I got on the floor with her and she just kept kissing, snotting and being cute.  She finally settled down and zoned out.  I’m sorry but for a Canaanite……that’s being the life of the party.

It’s hard to tell what’s the right dose with the CBD oil.  I started her off with a dollop the size of a half grain of rice.  I never really increased her and I guess I could have.  When I told the other adult human in the house how much to give her, he heard “1 milligram”.  It’s in a syringe.  Don’t know where he heard that but he gave her a few doses of one milligram.  I know they say the THC is removed.  I’m sure it is but man……….this dog feels GOOD.  She’s eating like a great dane and happier than a P.I.G. in ……..a lot of food.  She’s still on the Palladia and things are still going well.  Lots of energy, guarding the yard, awake and alert.  Really……….the dog is doing great.  Bottom line……CBD to be continued.  Follow up in January.  It’s going to be a happy holiday indeed.  I wish for everyone here the happiest of holidays.

love and xoxoxo
