I'll be darned if the lights aren't blinking! It's a little windy here methinks.
I will write anyway and see how it goes.
I took my sweet Abbey to the vet this morning for a second look at a sore on her leg and the usual - nails, shots, etc. We've been watching the sore for a while and tomorrow, they're going to go ahead and cut "it" out, whatever "it" is. There's one on the back of her leg as well, so that one will be biopsied. I'm sure she'll be fine, but I hate putting my fur child through stress of any kind. She's kind of fragile for a big ole German shepherd. Right now, she's sleeping off the trazedone I give her when they do nails or a bath. This girl is about to break the bank! LOL
She's such a wonderful creature and it'll be a weird couple of days around here with her gone for a day and then having to recuperate with a big old collar on.
It's day 86, people. I just now realized that even the minor stress of a vet trip didn't make me think about smoking. Jeepers!
That's about it for today thus far. I have a memorial rock to paint for a friend of my daughter's. Who knows what comes after that?

Day 86
Good for you Donna, you are learning to live without smoking one day, one event, one stress at the time!
I am sorry your baby has to go through surgery, no matter how little that is.
Sending good thoughts and prayers the biopsy won't reveal anything unwanted.
We have 2 puppies, and when we got the diagnosis of melanoma for my girl (November of 2016) my heart broke to pieces. At that time the vet gave us about 6 months together. The therapy would have been radiations, and would have potentially added only another 6 months to her life, so we said No to that. Just thinking at the stress to have her in treatment rooms, it was horrifying. Last week she turned 14, and she is still going strong. Sleeping longer, but she is getting up there in age. I firmly believe our love and attention to their needs helps them get through hard medical issues.
There she is last year, I still have to take a pic of her at 14.
