My beautiful dog Whisky is not feeling well

Whisky the beagle is not eating as much, drinking lots of water (way too much), and he's asking for the door very often.  I'm pretty sure he's developping Diabetes or kidney problems.  I'll have to bring him to the vets this week if he doesn't get better...as I write he's decided to eat so that's a good sign.  He's going to be 9 years old in April; he also has hip dysplasia and arthritis in his hips.  I'll have to start thinking about what's best for his quality of life soon.

Update on Haiti

It seems that the 2 missionaries held in Haiti will be released on Thursday. You really don't want to know my opinion on that story, cause i'm too much of a lady to say what I really think about these people. Now hundreds of children are being refused medical care outside of Haiti thanks to them; some have died already because of the governments refusal to let children out now. I guess they will be judged by higher up some day.

As for what's going on now in Haiti I found this webpage today on Twitter. It seems more jobs in Haiti are being created as well; so that's a good thing.
