Randle News

We took Randle in yesterday morning to get his teeth cleaned but we learned that he didn't pass the pre-operative tests in order to do just that. Matter of fact, if they would have put him under to clean his teeth, he wouldn't have woken up. Turns out Randle's kidneys are failing so they ran an IV all day to try to help clean the toxins out and he needs to go on a low protein diet for a month. At that point we'll retest to see if his levels are any better. It won't stop what's happening but it may help slow it.

We don't know much - we don't know what caused this other than he could have been born with it but Basenji's are predisposed to kidney problems. We don't know if he has months or years to live. We feel like we'll know more in a month....


So from now until then and beyond we are going to love Randle just a little more because we can't imagine life without him. Since we have a new spot on our bed from Trevor going back to his own bed, Randle can take it. He can have all of the water he wants and if Trevor wants to buy him a new toy like this pink heart then we will take out the money faster than we would have a month ago.

We always thought Trevor would grow up with Randle but that may or may not be in the cards. It's almost like they knew something was up on Monday evening when this picture was taken. Trevor just kept giving Randle love touches. This makes us smile :)
