Mother's Day WIsh

I know it seems like I fell off the planet earth and maybe I did as far as the Internet is concerned anyway. But me and my beloved girls are still here and going strong. It has been a hard year and many things have changed for me and my small family. We have a new roomie and that included a new kitty friend, Pooky. I will ask her mommy if I can post a picture of her for you to see. We have had some friends come and go, which was sad for me and I know the girls have felt my pain. Also, I have been working a lot this year and that makes me feel like lesser of a doggy mom. Through it all: tears, laughter, pain, love, fear, loss... my babies are always there. They are my solid rocks sometimes. They remind me that I am doing the best that I can and that I have three little someones to fight for in the process.

Enough talk about me, more about the girls, right? Isabella's most recent moment of spontaneity lead her into a fight with my four pound Pomeranian. The pom won the battle of course and left poor old Bell with a scratched up eyeball. So, one night this week I went to see Water For Elephants and I had to dismiss myself half way through the movie. There was this scene where the leading lady, a beautiful circus elephant, gets the heck beat out of her. I was horrified so I left and all I could think about on the way home was Bella and how she was suffering at home with her winky, hurt eye. So that night I went home and broke out the laptop and hit up google for some information on "dogs with dilated eyes, winky eyes, and scratched eyes." All of this stuff popped up about "dogs eyes having to be removed" or "dogs going blind" and how it was urgent to get your dog seen within 24 hours.

Needless to say this Doggy Mom was freaking out. I was like, "Omigod, I didn't take her to the vet in the first 24 hours and now she is blind." I was in bed, reading, crying, calling my friends and telling them how Bella would probably be put down from an eye injury and it was all my fault, I was a horrible mother. The next day we went to the vet, she was very nice might I add, she loved Izzie! She ended up giving us some Rimadyl, eye goo, and Bella some kisses and then sent us on our way home. Two days later Bella is feeling and looking much better. She is not blind and is not going to be losing her eye anytime soon. THANK GOD!

As for me and my almost mental breakdown, I am happy knowing that she will be okay. One dramatic fiasco down and many more to go. I can say that the best Mothers Day gift is knowing that my family is healthy and taken care of. One day, one hump at a time. I have a feeling that the near future holds some ups and downs but this mom isn't going to give up. After all I am so blessed to have these little angel fur kids that depend on me, love unconditionally, and TRUST my every decision.

As for you, my readers, if there are any out there... I have some awesome doggy clothes that I am dying to give away.

Doggy Love, Roxie
