I cleaned the guest room, guest bath, laundry room, and my bathroom, did laundry, cleaned the office, cooked, made fruit salad, re-arranged my little dining room table cockpit and stitched.
Today, the cable guy came and upgraded all of my equipment, since apparently the hamsters that were powering my circa 1972 dvr thingies all decided to take a much needed retirement and after 27 years of being a loyal Comcast customer, they decided to give a girl a break and get her into the 18th century.
Tomorrow we will visit Dr. Niemann again, only this time I have my notebook ready with questions. I don't know that the answers will be any better, but at least this time I'll know enough to ask them.
As soon as we're able, Stewey and I will find the words to thank you all for your notes and comments and support and love. Nothing seems remotely adequate at this point.
For now...a little pic of my BabyDear hanging out under the table while I type. Looks like it's time for a nap!
Hang in there, Coni. I'm thinking & praying for you, Stewey & Bosco.
ReplyDeleteHe sure is a cutie. Im in you corner Coni. I will keep you in my thoughts and prayers. Hugs.
ReplyDeleteA suggestion, if I may. Bring someone with you who can write this stuff down for you. Just like if you are a patient, you need an objective someone with you who can keep a clear head and get the information down for you. And who might think of some additional questions for you. I know how it is, when you get this kind of devastating news, it is just hard to remain unemotional and clear headed. Sending you and Stewey lots of love!
ReplyDeleteBeen there Coni. Keep that little peanut comfy - make memories - change his diet to grain free, low carb kibble - NO jumping down from any height, and do not put the two of you through amputation, etc. My girl, an Irish Wolfhound, was comfy & lively for almost 8 mos. after diagnosis. She told me when it was time and Stewey will also. My heart goes out to you both!
ReplyDeleteSo many of us have had to deal with this and know only too well what is going on for you. Please know that we are here for you. I was so glad to see a post again from you....stay with us, keep us informed. He is our friend too!
ReplyDeleteSuch a sweet boy; my prayers are with you both.
ReplyDeleteWhat a love is that Stewey ~ I viewed a film the other evening that featured a "co-star" who looked just like
ReplyDeleteyour little prince... like Stewey, he was star material.
praying for you both daily.

ReplyDeleteOh Coni, glad you were able to get some things accomplished while Stewey was dozing. Will be thinking about you both as you return to Dr. Niemann's office.
ReplyDeleteSUPER productive! Do you make house calls? But srsly, remember to pace yourself if possible. Stewey is looking beyond cute and sweet here. <3
ReplyDeleteWill be thinking about you today. I am sure Stewey appreciates all the cleaning and sorting as well as the online uograde. Those smoking jackets don't just appear by magic, he has to source them online!
ReplyDeleteThinking of you and Stewey....

Prayers for you both!
ReplyDeleteDon't give up hope, Coni. As someone who's said goodbye to 14 dogs in the last 10 years, it's heartbreaking. But you can't lose sight of what's important. From the moment you get "the news" you tuck it away into a tiny irrelevant spot in your brain... a place without power or light. Then you hug your Stewey and love him as you always have. Life is about living and enjoying every moment you have with him. Doctors only know what they know. There's a great big animal power beyond that has its own source. Live by that source, stay in the moment and question everything. Sending lots of good thoughts from all of the poodles in Catskill! xoxox
ReplyDeleteI will keep you and Stewey on my prayer list. God bless and keep you both.
ReplyDeleteThinking of you today! And a little scratch behind the ears for Stewey.
ReplyDeleteYou and the boys are being thought of today.
ReplyDeleteYou guys remain in my thoughts. Hugs!!
ReplyDeleteDear Coni,
ReplyDeleteYou and the furbabies remain in my thoughts and prayers. Would that I could find the right words to ease things for you, just know that there is a great big stitching circle out here pulling for you and keeping you in our prayers.
What a sweet pic. I'm glad you are seeing the doc again and asking questions. The outcome may not be different but at least you know you are being thorough. Continued prayers for both of you.
ReplyDeleteLots of good thoughts and prayers coming your way. I wish there was an easy way to get through it all.
ReplyDeleteLove this photo of your sweetie! Am hoping you will be able to share further info you were able to get from the vet. Glad you went in with your questions ready! Keeping best positive thoughts for you.
ReplyDeleteGreat photo of him, I'm so sorry to hear of his diagnosis. I'm sure it's hard not to want to have him with you every minute knowing they're numbered. Take lots of photos, videos, everything you can. We lost our beloved basset within 24 hours and I have regrets about not getting more photos and videos while I could.
ReplyDeleteConi, You and Stewie are in my thoughts and prayers. Remember to take some deep breaths. The St. Francis of Assisi healing prayer for animals helps for times like this. Hugs, Jenn
