So I haven’t been good about giving it to her every night, but I have noticed two things with Annie lately:

1. The dosing even just once a day of an anti-inflammatory is helping her to get around much, much easier. I feel terrible that I never even gave her baby aspirin before now. After another week of one dose of baby aspirin with no stomach problems, and I’ll start to give her a second dose for the day.

2. The melatonin seems to be working. We still have the occasional 4:00am barking/wake up, but there have been a couple mornings that I woke up before she did - at 5:30am no less. This morning was one of those mornings. I didn’t wake up until the alarm went off at 5:25am. I went down to get Annie and she was snoozing hard. So I sat until she woke up - about 5 minutes later. Then it took her about 5 more minutes to get up and out of the crate.

It was so nice to not have to spend 20 minutes cleaning up the poo-crate. I got to read instead.

So it’s all good news with Annie, although Beau may disagree.

1. Yay for more sleep!  And my anti-inflammatory drug is my new best friend.

3. And we had another 5:30am wake up this morning. So much better.

   *happy sigh*

4. Melatonin, huh?  Maybe I should try that since I wake up early now too whether it’s a work day or not.  But I don’t bark in my crate so it doesn’t disturb anybody else!
