I don't usually post stuff like this but since it's all working out then I will. It's been a bit of a stressy week so I haven't been on here.(not that anyone missed me
) My Dad ends up in the hospital this past Sunday and I find out from my stepmother Monday night. I have Mondays off so I had all day to visit him but no. I get along with her well so I didn't make an issue of it. What's the point in a fight? Anyway he had heart issues and they were talking possible surgery but nope, they did a dye cath test and only had to put one stent in and he went home yesterday so yay. Then I have a little dog who is my world(turned 17 today!
) and he's been coughing badly the past few days. Has had a couging issue for a couple of years(collapsing trachea, common in small dogs)and is on medicine which has worked great until now. I called the vet and she said maybe he's starting to get congestive heart failure. I made an appt. for Monday, rethought that and changed it to Friday(that's what sick time is for and I never take it!)and ended up taking him yesterday. She took a chest film and said his heart is a little enlarged but not into heart failure territory yet. Going to start him on heart meds just to be safe. I asked her if I'm just prolonging the inevitable and she said "he's happy, I can tell, he's healthy otherwise and if he still eats fine, goes to the bathroom fine and plays then he's not ready yet" Whew. I'm not in denial, he is 17, but I'll take even a few more months with him.
Anyway, long winded but thought I would share because I feel like I can here
Have a great weekend everyone!!
