I will check those out and just as I feared, the old dog who was pulled back from the abyss is staring right into again, suddenly.

I have no way to get her to a vet, even if I could afford emergency services, whether to drag her back from the brink yet again *or* send her gently into that dark night.

All I can do is sit here and cry.

The $500 car mom got me last month to get us around is *still* being “worked on” by a cousin’s boyfriend’s father [how hillbilly is that?] and the tie rod they ordered for it is the “wrong one”.
[apparently no one knows about AutoZone or Advance Auto and their “fits your car exactly” online ordering services but me]

It was definitely supposed to be done Tuesday/Wednesday/today/tomorrow but now I have no idea when.

At least Lenny’s friend is going to bring him home Saturday, if I have no way to go get him.

Meanwhile, I took all his t shirts home to wash and he’s only got the same dirty one he’s been wearing since Monday.

It’s very hard not to feel utterly defeated right now.

Just heartbreaking.

Our beloved Lab(Cody) developed an insatiable thirst and

a problem holding his bladder. It was like a firehose he

would be sooooo embarrassed and sad as it happened more and more often.

When it first started we took him into the vet,

he had been so healthy the time had escaped us and they

couldn’t believe he was still alive and looking so good.

Cody was 15 years old, it was a serious illness

Cushings and very advanced, nevertheless they

wanted us to do several expensive blood tests to

determine what medication and dosage would be appropriate.

We had to say uncle when he went downhill fast.

Our daughter was out of town which made it even harder.

I am praying for your aching heart that you may have

moments of peace in your sea of troubles.

That Saints and Angels will surround and protect you

from further misfortune and that a bright future

though hard to imagine right now is

just around the next corner for you and Lenny.

God Bless

Dear FRiend, my heart goes out to you in this time of
troubles. Wish there were something we could do in addition
to prayers.
