Shouty personDay 31 has been mostly about snoozes.
It’s day 32 and today’s photo is blurry because this Potato has been in a playful mood.
Unfortunately, because of the state her heart’s in, playtime is followed by fainting and seizures. But she’s still here.
It’s day 33 with Kira in heart failure.
Today started out rough. She had a little seizure first thing. That’s not unusual in and of itself, but it took a while to recover. However, once she did, she’s been in a good mood all day.

KellyAnn Romanych (she/her)@clacksee our elder dog Watson also has severe cardiac issues. Dx 11 months ago. Sending pets to Kira 🐾🐾
@kellyromanych Aw, poor little dude.
We were told to expect a few weeks, possibly a month or two. We’re playing it by ear and letting her guide us with what she wants.
@clacksee our vet has the same mindset of letting them guide us ❤️🩹
@kellyromanych
It’s so tough.
How old is Watson? What kind of dog is he?
@clacksee tough is the right word. Watson's at least 16. He adopted us from a shelter. We think he's an Irish Wolfhound/St Bernard mix. He's the heatbeat of the family.
@kellyromanych
Oh my! 16’s a great age for a big boy. I once had a dog last until (we think) almost 20. And he had a significant heart murmur for about 5 years.
With Kira, we think she’s probably around 7, but she’s been through the wars.
