The Dog is not doing well. The Daddy called the vet today to see what all is involved with “putting her down”. She still has that spark and can muster up some energy to be excited when The Daddy gets home but, for the most part, she lays around all day “resting”. When she does get up and around, her back left leg is basically useless. She is in pain from the hip dysplasia. And she’s on amoxicillin to keep a skin condition from getting infected. There’s a fluid-filled cyst in her neck and she recently had surgery for a cyst in her abdomen. Her hearing is going. It’s a laundry-list. It’s difficult. She hasn’t let us know yet that she’s ready to go but do we want to wait until she’s miserable? I don’t know. It’s too much to contemplate when I’m exhausted and feel crappy. At least for today, she is still with us and we don’t have to make a decision. Tomorrow has enough trouble of it’s own. I don’t need to borrow any for today. I’m grateful that Tater Tot probably won’t remember this.

Sorry for the downer but that’s just where I’m at right now….
