It's off to work we go!! It was actually sleeting at 4 this morning and I don't think Bo's feet barely hit the ground when he went out. Some people have Snow Days, I think we should have "It's too cold days"! You can call in sick, take a vacation day or call in with "It's too cold!!".
Yesterday we put Prissy on a prescription food for her Kidneys and thankfully it's a canned wet food, and thankfully she seems to like it, since yesterday she ate a complete can, not all at one time and mostly out of my hand but at least she at it. I feed her a little at a time so as not to give her a stomach ache. I spoke to the vet and he agrees that she is nearing the end of her journey and at this point I'm just doing everything I can to make her comfortable and make sure she feels the love we have in our hearts for her. The Cocker Forum has been a great support for me when my babies are sick, they are a great group of people.
Having gone through this with Rock hasn't made it easier because when you love someone the thought of loosing them is painful no matter how many times you go through it. You can't prepare for it that's for sure. You always hear people say when someone who has been sick for a long time and finally passes away that at least the family had time to prepare for it, it wasn't a shock. Well believe me you can't prepare for it. The entire time my mom was in the hospital on a respirator I kept trying to prepare myself for the worse but that wasn't possible.
Speaking of my mom, I think this weekend will be a girls weekend. I think I will spend it with her and my aunt. Taking care of others that have been sick, whether it's my mom or my dogs has taught me that the small petty things don't matter, the time we spend together is what matters. Life is Grand, I've said it before, We Work Hard but we Love Harder. Working hard has afforded us the ability to be able to enjoy what life has to offer without as much worry. We are truly fortunate.
Well we had a great day Saturday, I took my mom and aunt to lunch and for some minor shopping and then just hung out for a while. It was the last day of my aunts vacation, she came in for a couple of weeks and she and my mom visited some of their relatives and hung out alot. She took that long drive home on Sunday, I don't know how she drives all that way alone but she does.
