Daisy goes to ICU

Daisy was taken to the intensive care unit today after her neutrophils and platelets dropped to zero.  This was to be expected and so they will monitor any possible bleeding (due to her low platelet count) in the ICU. Surprisingly she did not have any diarrhea or vomiting but did spike a temperature.  Dr Warry said Daisy is actually doing quite well compared to how other dogs usually are at this point.  She said that this is likely the worst day she will experience and that they expect her platelets and neutrophils to rise very soon.   With that good news I decided to go the  "Dogs" show tonight at Bicentennial park in Miami to see "Carrie" the dancing golden retriever (the golden who has been viewed more than a million times on youtube dancing the merengue). She definitely won me over and stole the show! The audience was invited to pet the dogs and take pictures after the show (picture of me saying hi to Carrie). Her eye contact was unlike any other dog I've met (besides Daisy of course). Am I biased? or do all Goldens seem like little angelic creatures?
