Oh my. I’m glad I read this AFTER you updated it. Poor little Soph, but I’m glad she’s feeling better. I know what you mean about feeling helpless when they’re sick. It’s like when the kids are tiny babies. You want to do something, but you aren’t quite sure just WHAT! We had our first baby, Keesha the pit bull, put to sleep 12 years ago, and I swore I’d never have another dog. So far, I haven’t, but I’m starting to want one. It never does leave you. Those little buggers work their way into your heart and they stay forever.

Yeah, it does stay with you. We’re still in waiting mode with Sophie. She had a relapse on Friday so we’re still not sure how things are going to turn out. But, we’re holding good thoughts. ~W

I am so sorry it took me so long to respond to your kind messages!!! Douglas is better. I was so worried about him. He got sick the same weekend as my best friend’s wedding and then school got crazy with end of the semester finals and papers. UGH! I thank you so much for checking in on my little guy. He is better and something tells me he would get along great with Sophie. xoxox-Kristen

Heh… I wish they could be friends. I fear Sophie would eat Douglas; as she seems to be very misbehaved and things all small dogs are lunch. ~W

so relieved for you she’s on the mend. I hate it when the fur buddies get sick. I get frantic. It’s easier when the people go down because they can at least talk to you and tell you how it’s going.

I get a little frantic too. It is easier when BW gets sick because he can tell you. And I know him well enough to know when we should go into the ER. The dog works hard to convince me she’s feeling OK even when she’s not. ~W

I just read this entry…and I’m glad to see that she’s doing much better. A sick dog is a pitiful thing.

Thank you. It is hard to watch. I’m glad she’s got her kick back. ~W

so sorry i’m late to read all of this, but at least i’m not in agony waiting to her of her progress. glad she’s coming along. it’s Tuesday now, so hopefully she’s doing MUCH better today. <3

No worries… she’s doing much better, thank you. I was telling Margaret, Sophie is now well enough to avoid medication. I think she’s going to be just fine! ~W

Geeze–I just about had a heart attack until I started reading the comments and realized that dear Sophie was improving. These animals do bring us much love and joy–but we worry about them too. Did the vet ever come up with a diagnosis? Poor Sophie and poor you, clean up person. I’m sending healthy thoughts! Sorry I missed out on all this; I was rarely on the computer in Spokane. (e-mail and that was rare) Take care, Sophie!!

___________________________________________

Oh, it’s OK, Margaret. I would have emailed you if it had gone wrong. She’s feeling much better… well enough to run and hide when she sees me coming with the medication. So, yeah, I’d say we’re in the clear. ~W

awwwwwww I feel bad, too. But I hope this message finds her feeling better soon!

Thank you. She’s feeling much better. She’s snuggling with IZ right now, which she’s basically refused to do for days. So, I’m thinking she’s feeling MUCHO better. ~W

Awww, poor puppy. I hope she feels better soon!!! (sorry about the truncated message above…my computer is doing weird things.)

Don’t you just hate that when that happens? Thanks so much, Amy. I think she’s on the mend. ~W

Oh, the poor wee beastie! I am so very sorry for her ills, even though she sounds like she’s on the mend. It must be so very horrible to not be able to help yourself and feel embarrassed when you need outside help (I’m sure there’s a post on compassion in that sentence alone) I hope she finds her way to wellness soon…My tiny one was sneezing and rubbing her eye last night, and just those two actions had me on edge (of course, I’m doing the same from allergies right now…so we’re both just sneezing at each other)

It is hard, isn’t it? It’s snowing here on the coast–so it’s doubly weird to have allergies in the snow! ~W
