Random Ramblings from a Too Quiet House
So much going on. Where do I start?
• First of all, thanks so much to all of you who played the Flashback Friday game today. I, for one, really enjoyed reading all your posts! I know there were not too many of this week (and half of you are my friends or relatives who humor me by going along with my crazy schemes), but we’ll keep plugging along. I know there will be more people who want to play next week, so feel free to steal the button and link it in your blog if you are so inclined and I’ll try to come up with a really good theme for next week! Thanks again. :)
• Good news - Mike and I went down and signed up for health insurance to start when my COBRA runs out. That is a load off my mind, especially since it will cover all my pre-existings with no waiting period. Hurray! And next year when I hit 40, we can move to a different plan without maternity coverage and our premiums will actually go down which will be pleasant. :)
• Bad news - Lady has stopped eating for all intents and purposes. She will still lick a little peanut butter off our fingers when we’re trying to get her to take her medication, and as of this afternoon, she is still drinking water, but she is having a really hard time walking and her breathing is slowly getting more and more labored. It’s just getting too hard to watch her suffering. I know what we probably need to do tomorrow and I hate that it’s come to this. Mike is in denial. He says we’ll know when it’s time. I said it is time, and you know that in your heart. But he will have to let it sink in tonight while he’s at work and I think he will have come to terms with it by tomorrow. Lady and Majerle and BobDog were our babies when we weren’t ready for human ones and they have been our comfort through so many years of ups and downs and joy and sorrow. In their younger days, they would have so much enjoyed having Baby Girl around, but I know they will watch over her when they are gone. Blah. It just hurts. I’m not so good at letting go of those I love. God only made one mistake when he created dogs. He gave them life spans way too much shorter than ours. Anyway, if I’m not around too much tomorrow, you know why. Thanks for listening.

Aw Karin. That’s soooo hard! If you need me, let me know. I’ve got all day to listen.
