October 18 — Pet Illness Symptoms
Maggie slept with me all night. She was in pain during the night — gave her Tremadol at 2:30 a.m. Quieted down within half an hour. Came downstairs this morning on three legs and didn’t put her full weight on the leg. Wasn’t too excited about going for her walk but once out was happy and […]

Maggie slept with me until 4 a.m. when Tara got us all up to go outside. Maggie stayed downstairs. Dose of Aurum 200 at 8:45 and metacam at 10:15. Still sore and lame but not as lame as yesterday. Only went for a leash walk this morning and late this afternoon. She ate breakfast and […]

Today I am grateful for: 1. Debbie coming to visit. Maggie and Tara get so excited to see her! 2. The beautiful walk we had in the woods. 3. Maggie’s smile as she went hunting through the long grass. 4. D’s understanding and graciousness when I cancelled our plans to visit tonight — it’s not a […]

Maggie slept downstairs last night. This morning she sat at the foot of the stairs and barked for me to come down. In the past, she would have come upstairs and jumped on the bed… She’s a little stiffer and putting less weight on the leg but seems in good spirits — played with her […]

Maggie started out sleeping with me last night but went downstairs sometime between midnight and 1:30 a.m. Had a dose of Aurum before morning walk — 7:50 a.m. Had a fair amount of energy. Not as much as yesterday but more than earlier in the week. Had Metacam at 9:00 a.m. Had a pretty quiet […]

Today, I’m grateful for: 1. My friend Debbie for visiting Maggie, Tara and I — Tara smiles for Debbie and it’s wonderful to see as she doesn’t do it for anyone else. Maggie was happy to see her and they played with her new Goose. 2. My friend Debbie for her caring and loving nature, […]

Maggie slept with me all of last night. Fairly quiet night. She was touching me the whole night so don’t think she had any more of the “leg movements” that she had last night on the couch. Am sure it would have waken me up. She was fairly quiet before their walk this morning so […]

Today, I’m grateful for: 1. The kindness of Ontario Hypnosis Centre in their response to my request for a sabbatical until I get through this process with Maggie — my request was received with complete understanding, no questions, just support and compassion. I am so lucky to be associated with such wonderful people! 2. Friends […]
October 13 — Pet Illness Symptoms
Maggie slept with me last night — she went up before I did and stayed for the whole night. Was going to ‘make’ her sleep upstairs since she’d had her first dose of Tramadol last night and wanted to be sure she was OK through the night. I didn’t have ‘to do’ anything — Maggie’s […]
October 12 — Pet Illness Symptoms
Maggie slept downstairs last night. The cover on the love seat, where she usually sleeps, was in a pile on the floor. Maggie doesn’t usually remove it so she must have been moving around a lot in the night. It’s tucked pretty tightly in along the back and the sides of the loveseat. Looks pretty […]
