my little sun is waning

Chica is not feeling well. I had to carry her home from the vet on Saturday. We might have to prepare ourselves that she won't last this month. I feel down and totally depressed. Chica has become a really old dog in a matter of days. Since her anniversary on Wednesday she has been feeling down and more than not we need to make long stops during our walks. I guess she wanted to stay till her 2 year anniversary and her 10th birthday and from now on we are on gifted time.
I will cuddle up to her now and we will just spend quality time together.

I'm glad she's doing better. I know how tough the emotional roller coaster is. :-(

Absolutely, and it is taking its toll physically as well. Now that everything is better I'm down with a cold again. I never have a cold twice in such a short time. I guess less sleep, less eating and drinking but more worrying and staying up during the night took a lot out of me these past three weeks.

Oh, I'm sure it's stress. I swear I was sick to my stomach for the last few weeks of Sunny's life - he would get better and then get worse, and I'd be waiting nervously to see if he would respond to treatment. It was so hard. I knew his sickness would take him eventually, but it still wasn't easy. I got a whole extra year of good quality time with him though, for the time he responded to the chemo he was on - and it was extra precious because of it. I think I appreciated him more that year than ever before. But not easy.

Take care of yourself!
