feel better fast, Daisy! even though the folks at the specialty hospital took really good care of me when I was sick, there is nothing like being at home.
Daisy did in fact go home today and was excited to be back with her Mom and Dad again. She will need a recheck in a few days but this little pup will live to run another day.
