Riley here....Dad got an email from the people who own Kassi, my sister. To be honest, I didn’t know I had a sister. Mom and Dad had never mentioned her to me and it has been a long time since I was at Grandma Eileen’s house where I was born.

As with all news in this world, I learned of Kassi’s existence because of bad news. Her loving owners had found out that Kassi wasn’t feeling well and took her to their vet. It turns out that she was ill but her condition is treatable. And so she is doing well with her treatment. I understand that she is back to her old self and is frisky as a puppy. But her owners were concerned that maybe I might suffer from the same ailment. That was the reason for the email to Dad.

Dad took me to my vet, Dr. Carol. I wasn’t happy to go as Dad left Roxie at home. She didn’t understand why she couldn’t come along. I wanted her to be with me to bolster my spirits. Turns out that I don’t have what Kassi has so that is good news. But Dr. Carol found that I had unbalanced electrolytes. So I am going in for another blood test this Friday. Dr. Carol assured Dad that if I still have the imbalance it is an easily treated condition.

Out of all this business, the joyful news is that I have a sister. Will I ever see her other than her picture? Probably not as I live on the West Coast and Kassi lives in the Mid-West. I’d like to think that Mom and Dad would visit but it is not likely. It is a long way to go for the family and their two Klee Kai. I gotta bring Roxie don’t you know. I have posted the picture of Kassi that was sent to Dad. Kassi is so pretty and she really does resemble me. The big difference is that I have a very pronounced mane of fur around my neck. My facial markings are a little darker as well but the family resemblance is there.

I’ll post the outcome of my tests and let you know what is going on. Until then, keep those good thoughts coming. Bye for now!
