going away for a while

[HadassahSukkot]

I'm not sure how long I will be gone.

My brother is getting married in about two weeks and i've been "commissioned" to do the wedding flowers (the live ones). I have already done the 'altar display'.
We have family coming in the night before the wedding from out of town.
Also I am learning some new things at my job, that are a bit frustrating from a math point of view (I didn't do so very hot in math); and I am struggling with it.
My almost 15 yr old dog has been sick this last week between 'regurgitation' and out and out vomiting and has lost probably 5 lbs. (she is a small terrier poodle mix) we are unsure if it is because she is in pain, she is sick or because we were out of "her food" and had to feed her regular stuff.
I gave her two baby aspirin and some pepto. last night, and she seemed to be better this morning around 6. We're all pretty upset about her bad turn. We've decided if she doesn't turn around by tonight, she is going to the vet tomorrow. If the prognosis isn't good... :(
I don't want to go there.

Also, I am still reading a manuscript I was given to critique. I am finding it very hard to keep up with, because it is very scattered and scripture is patched here and there and there and here to support a very strange claim, which I cannot find that scripture supports... not to mention the claims about the "claimed" scriptures are so out in left field I'm having to write my own "book" to give to the author to show how scripture doesn't support her claim.
It's like trying to undo almost 1,000 years of misconception about certain races and the supposed "not wrong" of Ham.
The other frustrating thing is I can't seem to find much info on one of the subjects she is talking about.
I don't have a deadline on this, but I want it out of my hands asap.

I found out this morning and last night I don't have all my paperwork ready to send off to my fiance so we can get things translated so we can sign our marriage documents this Sept. I need an apostille and an "original copy" of my Birth Certificate. We have about 2 weeks to play with right now to get that taken care of, or we need to just forfeit getting this done the "german way" and go the "american way".
I guess this is what happens by trying to make it easier for the country you are moving to. GRR!

See you on the upswing!

Will pray that everything goes smoothly for you!

What on earth is the size of your plate, ants? :D

Well, clear your calendar and hurry back! My prayers for the situation with your little dog. I just went through that a couple of years back. :hug:

Hi all.

Our 14 (almost 15) yr old dog isn't doing very well. She is still very sick, and I think we might have to put her down.

My dad gave her a bath this morning so she could rest easier and she didn't move after. she just lay there on the towel... it's so pitiful http://rr-bb.com/images/smilies/cry.gif

I cried for over an hour last night about it, she was sick again, and this time it looks like either old blood or bile http://rr-bb.com/images/smilies/frown.gif

She will be going to the vet end of this afternoon. unless it's something "simple" I don't think she will be coming home. http://rr-bb.com/images/smilies/frown.gif


Two or three days ago my granny (dad's step mom) was admitted to the ICU in her area of Georgia. She had a bad reaction to her allergy shots that caused her to put on a lot of water weight and she has congestive heart failure.

She is stable, but I think the docs want her in ICU just to make her stay still, more than she is "intensive".

She had a lot of water around her heart. I think she's bouncing back though. She said something about possibly being released today.


In regards to the wedding, I still have to clean my room and figure out what to do about the bathroom and cat box, because my grandma will be staying with us for the wedding; and she hates cats. She loves my dog, but she hates cats. ("they get on everything and it's just *nasty*...")

Ours is limited to certain parts of the house, but she is a very "busy body" and wants to know everyone who comes in the house, let alone she has to be with my brother every waking minute he is at home (not much really)... and his room is on the opposite side of the bathroom from mine. :doh:

Well, I got to go.. and yeah, my plate is pretty big actually. these are just the "biggies". there are a lot of smaller issues.

I still have to go to the post office and to get some money orders to take care of the other issue, and I have to get stuff notarised to send away to my fiance.

:yawn:

Mom said that "we" have a 4pm appt at the vet and they will see us right away concerning her condition and how upset she always has gotten when we take her to the vet.

I'm not sure if I can leave early or not. I haven't asked. I'm not sure I want to go, but I should... at least for her.

She "went home".

We took her to the vet and had to come to terms with the fact her liver and kidneys had shut down. Unfortunately for us, it was really tragic. My dad is still in a bit of denial. she passed in his arms.

I had to leave before they sedated her. I can't handle that kind of thing. She was buried in our backyard in a blanket I made her (the one she went to the vet in) and with her "clothes" (the jackets we made her), the treats she refused three days straight, and her two favorite boda bones and bowls. :(

The only thing I really wanted was one of her bones.. but that's ok.

She will be greatly missed.

we all are having a hard time dealing with it, as is the cat. she's been staying with my parents since we came back friday.

see ya'll on the upswing.

it's very difficult to lose a pet. I know they become a part of the family. We've had to put down two cats and another is on her way. I've never owned a dog so I can't even understand that lovely relationship possible there.

:prayer: for your emotional health at this tough time

OH Antz, I am so sorry to come back and here of all this happening in your life! I just thank Hashem for the joy your dog brought to your life while she was with you all those years. We had to put down our 8 year old last year and it was tragic.

I hope that everything you need done in prep for both weddings will go smoothly and HaShem will guide you in all things.
