Roller Coaster Up
October 2nd. Maggie slept with me last night for the first time in four or five nights. In fact she’d gone up to bed before I started working on last night’s blog entry. Was wonderful to have her there. I cherish those nights. Usually we are joined at the hip — Maggie lying perpendicular to […]
Roller Coaster Down
October 1st — Tonight is a low point on the roller coaster ride. The journey, living through this, is getting harder. If that’s possible. Today was the worst day so far for Maggie and I only hope it is the worst day she ever has. She was still bright and cheerful but obviously in some pain as […]
Doing a Blog Support
Actually doing this was, and is, one of the hardest things I have ever done. Sharing my feelings, with myself is hard, let alone the rest of the world! I am getting better about it and as my wonderful therapist, Ken, said this week — ‘those flood gates are open and there’s no closing them!’ […]
October 1
Maggie was quite energetic first thing this morning and was just favouring her leg a little so decided to take her to the woods for a short walk. We were there for 40 minutes — 30 of which were leash free. She was sooooo happy running around. Sadly I think that short romp was too […]
Finding of Cancer Support
Once again, I reached out for support for Maggie (and Tara and I) after we got the news of Maggie’s tumour and the diagnosis of bone cancer with it’s dreadful prognosis. The responses were overwhelming and many brought tears to my eyes — good tears — tears of love and gratitude. While in my heart […]
Pre-Knee Surgery Support
One of the things that has helped me tremedously along this journey is the amazing good wishes and energy sent from family and friends. Before Maggie Soo went in for what we thought was knee surgery, I sent an e-mail out asking for love and positive thoughts for her as she went through this. I […]
‘Animal Companion’ vs. ‘Pet’
Terms are important. Words have an energy. It took me awhile to understand and believe that because I heard for so long ‘it’s only a word’ but I now truly believe differently. Words do impact us and they can hurt. I struggled with the words I would use in my blog. And will continue to […]
Dr. Fenella Ely — Whitby Chiropractic Centre
Dr. Ely has been a Godsend to Maggie and to Tara! She is an amazing chiropractor and an amazing human being — she’s great with humans and animals! She is open, direct, caring, and extremely knowledgeable. When we’re going to see her I say to Maggie and Tara ‘want to go see Dr. Fenella (as I […]
September 30
Maggie was more energetic this morning and if I’d had time we would have had a leash free walk in the woods. She slept downstairs last night. Tara came upstairs sometime after 1 a.m. and slept in her crate in my room. When I came down stairs this morning, Maggie was her excited self — at the foot of […]
September 28 – 29
Maggie had a fairly quiet night (27-28). She went to sleep on my bed and then left sometime between 12 and 1:45. She came back in the early morning. She limbed a lot during the day so gave her some Metacam. Also a new homeopathic remedy. She picked up a little after that — more energy and less […]
