Hello Ken- I hope that Edison is going to be okay.

Edison got out last night.  The guy from Clark Pest Control left our gate
wide open and Edison was just gone.  Velvet and I looked around the
neighborhood in the wind and rain, then I called the police and animal
control while Velvet drove around the university campus.  She came home,
stood in the front yard and plaintively called his name and there he was.
He looked like the saddest dog in the world with his head down and his tail
still.  A cursory examination didn't reveal any wounds and he didn't flinch
as I touched his legs stomach and head.  There was something about his spine
that didn't feel right.  He was just tired.  There's a woman lives a block
from us who has a huge boll of cat food in her yard on the theory that if
the cats are full, they won't bother the song birds.  She's right in a
measure.  Our neighborhood has more pigeons, crows and starlings than
anybody else in town-- but I digress. It smelled as if Edison had eaten all
that cat food.   It must have been Edison's breathing that awakened me
around 1:am.  It was so fast and shallow.  I took him out and saw that he
was urinating.  Later, I fed him some nuggets of kibble which he took and
appreciated.  Still there was that arch to his spine.  We took him to the
vet this morning.  There is liver involvement.  Edison could have been
poisoned, kicked or hit by a car.  Dr. Basra wants a better x-ray before
doing an ultra sound.  Then we'll see.  My poor sweet dog; I'm writing this
because I have to be doing something.  Hold a thought for Edison will you?
Thanks.
