ISN'T SHE CUTE???

Sweet Bizy is still sick. We took her to the vet yesterday, and had more blood work done, and x-rays. They changed her cough medicine to something with a narcotic in it - to keep her calm. There is nothing more pitiful than a woozy dog.

I love pets - they are like children to me. Only, with a pet, you know that you are going to outlive them - so you wrap your heart around them knowing all along that heartbreak is inevitable. I've been through it several times - and it is never easy. But, of all my dogs, Bizy is my favorite. Because she is so small, she seems like a puppy, even though she is 7+. In other words - I cannot even comprehend losing her now.

There is a heaviness in my heart that I am carrying around - and I know that all you pet lovers understand. The vet was showing me her xray's yesterday - and chatting about possible thyroid problems, and special surgeries. My mind just closed down. I can't even think about all of that now. I just want her to jump up and respond again to her favorite word, "Cookie"...and to EAT! Not just lie there and blink her big eyes.

So - nothing earth shattering in the post. Just letting you know what's happening...
