Callie , How could anyone ever be offended by the incredibly sincere and caring prayer you offered? Thank you for your kindness and encouragement, Thank you for being brave enough to go out on a limb. Your words were both eloquent and educated.
It is almost 5:30 am and we have 2.5 hours left before the clinic opens, We will be there early, to make sure David sees Jasmine before the rest of the day's chaos get's in the way. I kicked everyone else out of the room , leaving only Jasmine and Kota. I needed to know they would remain NPO , that the kids would not forget and slip them a bite of egg or toast. The water is picked up and the bathroom closed off so no sneaky drinking to mess with either's chance at a surgery.
Saturday night I had opted to sleep in the RV, after working in it most of the day I was feeling ill and so very tired, sometimes everything hurts so badly meds can't help. At dinner the family called out to see if I wanted anything and I said only Jasmine, She was brought out to me and for the first time I can ever remember she did not want to be on the bed with me, prefering instead to lay on her big floor pilllow. After a rough few hours I simply cuddled next to her. She has always eased my pain giving me a focus, my breathing tries to match hers and everything slows down. I wish I had gone with my gut Saturday when I commented to the Hubs that the area seemed really warm and hard.
Interesting side note, after the tumor burst 6 of the other 8 dogs made it a point to come up and smell her wound, they touched her face and chin in a submissive and respectful manner, each dog who did this was one of her adult pups or her 2 grand duaghters. The 2 who did not, are the only ones not of her blood on our property, They just gave her space and watched her with deeply concerned eyes, When I took her out to potty they both went to her ottoman and smelled that.
Thank you again Callie, you have made me go "Wow" too!
