I called our vet in the morning only to find out they were closed until Tuesday. So this was the start of my frustraion, as I knew she would not make it until then and the suffering was not soemthing I wanted to put her through. I started calling around, the "soonest" I could get in at the Humane Society was Oct 27th. Other vets wouldn't see her as she was not a patient and would need a first time visit before, and were weeks out for that. Friday night was a around the clock vigil just to keep her comfortable.
Saturday I said its off to a vet hospital, I don't care the cost, I can't let her be like this any longer. Surprisingly the cost wasn't as bad as we thought. The care and comfort they showed was beyond comforting. My sweet girl is in a much happier place, where she is freely chasing the squirrels and rabbits, but was stricty forbidden to chase the skunks (she had a little run in with one a few years back); and back to "tormenting" My Lulu girl (our kitty that passed in 2014). She will be greatly missed, but forever in our hearts.
I am linking up with Diary of a Stay at Home Mom. Head on over to find some other great bloggers.

ReplyDeleteI am sorry for your loss. They are so much a part of our life. The recipe looks great. I have something cɔose too that in my cookbook.
ReplyDeleteI wish I had the crochet knit gene. I used to! Blessings!
ReplyDeleteI am so sorry about Lici, but am glad she is not suffering. Losing fur children is so hard and takes time...
ReplyDeleteThat gnome is adorable - I can't wait to see what you make. And that soup sounds really delicious. Have a GREAT week.
So sorry for Lici.
ReplyDeleteI've made a few gnomes last year, was fun! the soup looks good too.
Have a great week
Oh my sweet Jodi - I'm so sorry about the loss of Lici. But I absolutely believe she is running free and will meet you at the rainbow bridge one day. Biggest hugs to you guys.
ReplyDeleteThat soup looks so yummy! When I was doing weight watchers I remember making kind of a weight watchers version of soup like that and i think it was one of the best WW things I made. Lol And if anyone can make a gnome as cute as that - it's you!
Blessings on the rest of your week.
