I got to hold Greta and say goodbye and tell her she was a good girl.

I had an infection in my mouth from a bad tooth. It's getting better because yay dentists.

The good news is that my son is coming tomorrow for an EXTENDED visit! He said a month, minimum. \o/

The bad news is about my doggie.

Greta, the dog I've had since she was 2 months old, has liver cancer. We just found out yesterday. I'm so, so sad. Monday Zach and I will take her up to Tallahassee to see what the vet there suggests we do. Mostly I want to know some kind of timeline and what we can do to keep her comfy. And what we should look out for to know when it's time to let go.
She'll be 15 next month.

I need about $350 to pay for the visit including new ultrasound and sedation. I might be able to swing half of that but not the full amount. Still trying to scrape up what I can. Yesterday's bill (bloodwork, stool, full workup whatever, and the ultrasound where she barely held still) is paid though.

Greta is eating a little better now (about half her food), but I still took her to the vet today. He doesn't know what is the matter. He checked her mouth and did a fecal test, but nada. He gave her some anti-nausea pills in case she feels sick, but otherwise was flummoxed.

She'll be 12 in November, even though she still acts like she's a puppy sometimes. Whenever she doesn't feel good I worry.

Her ear is permanently bent, says the vet, because of scar tissue from the burst blood vessel a couple of months ago. So one ear up and one ear down is the new fashion.

my dog is acting weird and doesn't want to eat. well, 3 days ago she stopped eating altogether but now she'll eat some wet food if you beg and cajole.

so I guess we'll be going back to the vet. it feels like we just went for her ear problem, but that was 2 months ago.

it is so worrisome when your babies are not feeling well. :(
