First off, let me commend the staff at Sara Bush Lincoln Health Care. They're *fantastic* about Ranger. everyone has been as pleasant, accommodating and eager to check on both of us and make sure we're both comfortable as possible. Even during his cranky, "I'm *ready* to go home" times - they've just smiled and been super friendly.
Now... why we're here. Came in yesterday for muscle spasms in my chest/back that were making it hard to breathe (couldnt get any air into my lungs). In doing the routine labs, they found out that I have microcytic iron-deficiency anemia. yay, right?? *rolls eyes*
So... into the hospital I went to get 2 units of blood - and Ranger has been with me the whole way. He's been a champ. His whole schedule is messed up. He's been laying one place or another (floor next-to-bed, bed, chair... ) but he's starting to get antsy. He's alerting to all sounds - foreign and domestic. He's having an issue with being cooped up. He's not happy.
!Like with all Kong toys, it turned out to be a fantastic, mind-stimulating way for him to get food in smaller doses. Being in the hospital - that's a must because I have to work his going out time around when my family is here visiting or a nurse comes in and asks if they can help. I put some of his dry kibble into the kong and he chased it all over the floor. (Thankfully he cleans up afrer himself!) He had a good time and it was a quiet thing he could do, sturdy enough that I didnt have to worry about him chewing it or breaking pieces off, and entertaining enough to let him feel like he was getting to do something other than just lay with me!
Review: 5/5 paws! This one definitely takes the blue ribbon for quality and entertainment. I'll update about durability!
