Torn Ligaments & Birthdays
Hello....it's been a long week. I am bruised & battered from beating myself up all week about Sneakers. I keep replaying everything in my mind ~ I go from knowing I did the right thing to questioning everything.
My vet came yesterday and did X-Rays on Cocos' (my chocolate lab) hips and legs. She's been limping and not able to put weight on her right foot.
Turns out she has torn ligaments in her knee ~ouch! She needs to rest for a week or two...yeah right! She is hyper & runs and rams around like a nut. She is quiet today since she is still tired from the sedative he used.
He isn't too hopeful it will heal totally since she is almost 12 and she is so active. Her hips looked pretty good though, just a few little spots of arthritis.
Thankfully she isn't overweight, she weighed 77 yesterday so she has not lost or gained since last summer.
My little Buffy will be two tomorrow!! He lives with me in my house and we will have a little cat party for him. He's my bed buddy ~ he sleeps so tight against me I can't move!!
Saturday is a big day for birthdays..TuTu, Lily, Marti and Lou will be 3 years old!!! Will have a party in the cat house for them on Saturday.
Well I have to get out & get some outside work done before it gets too hot...yes I did say that.
It is supposed to be 80 today ~ nice for me but too warm too fast for the animals. The buffs were all laying flat out yesterday afternoon & the horses don't want to be out past noon.
Peace to all.
My little birthday boy.

Sunbathing buffalo's. Now that would be a funny tag/graphic going round J-Land. I know you are still sad and hurt over sneakers. I know you did the very best you knew to do. I'm just sorry you're still hurting over it. Birthday party in the cat house. Wonder what kind of cake you'd make for that? Mouse shaped? You could be very creative in that direction.
You can write me anytime you know? Thinking about you.

I am sure you are still sad about Sneakers but it sounds like you have many others to keep you busy.
It seems like you did what you had to do:
You made the best decision you could with Sneakers' best interest at heart.
Have Happy Kitty Birthday Parties!
It sounds like fun.
I would love to see the buffaloes sunbathing.
That must be quite a sight. I hope they use sunscreen! SPF 10,000
Have a good weekend.

If only we could have verbal communication with our fur kids...then we we would know what's hurting them and how it started. You did and are doing your best with the language barrier.
