Too much, and too little

The days are creeping by quickly.

Somedays they are not quick enough, and other days there are not enough hours in the day.

This past week has been hugely trying, of which the only thing I will speak of is the Little Miss Till Till.

Now she is 12 (ish ) years old. It only takes common sense to know that you are not going to save a 12 year old german shepherd that has already had nine lives, and despite looking just like a dog, really reminds me of a cat. But of course the vet, and all their fees can surely save her.

OK... we will take her to the vet... because you know, it might be something fairly fixable (antibiotics for a UTI)...it's best to do something rather than a whole lot of nothing.

Well aren't we good... while we are doing a whole lot of nothing, the cost of doing nothing is rising.

Not sure what today will bring, as yesterday she seemed a lot brighter, I think that might be because she got pee all over the floors maybe. ( Making up for her lost puppyhood with us, which she didn't live here then... maybe). This morning already I can see a change in her again. The lovely stinky canned dog food that she was so excited to eat has already been shunned by her.

WE are not really excited to do anymore labwork. the urinalysis suggested that it was her kidneys that were failing, so we did bloodwork to show what the kidneys were up to... so then after that OF COURSE her liver enzymes were out of whack.. but wait... lets do another test, oh, and we didn't do a test that would show her white blood cells... too late for that... Where they have suggested to do an ultrasound.. uhm... no thanks....we'll wait to see if the bloodwork they did suggests pancreatitis... that involves antibiotics doesn't it.... ?

We'll see what today brings... so far, she is appearing unsettled, as in uncertain of where she would like to sit for any length of time.
