MP_the4pack Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 8 PM I went out for the afternoon. Long afternoon (movie and dinner). I wasn't sure what I would be coming home to. WOuld she be gone? Would she be in distress? I was pleased to see what I found. She was up, alert and ready for dinner. Her appetite is bordereing of voracious again. Her legs aren't shaky telling me she didn't pace the entire time I was gone. When the others were tearing around the yard like idiots, she actually trotted a little bit after them. I have to admit, several time during dinner I got a pang thinking about her wondering what I was going to get when I got home. This is going to be one helluva roller coaster ride. But she seems very good today. I hope to have her a little bit longer before she has another bleed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaisyDoodle Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 Hoping you and Crystal have a good day today. Did you see Fasave's post in this thread about Amicar? That seems like it might help. It was amazing to see Ave at the Jingle Bell Walk a year into his diagnosis after seeing him in his SUV riding around, not being able to join us just after his diagnosis.

4My2Greys Posted May 6, 2012 Share Posted May 6, 2012 As hard as all of this is to grasp I truly believe she was meant to be with you at this time. I couldn't help but think from the very beginning of reading about this that Crystal is where she is at because she needed to be with someone like Mary Pat.

MP_the4pack Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 (edited) Sunday morning. I was a little apprehensive this morning. Crystal had gotten into the habit of whining at the crack of dawn for her breakfast. She didn't today. When I did get up, I found her on her bed, looking at me. I could just hear her say "So where's my breakfast, already?" She paced a little bit this morning. I can't tell if it's discomfort or she already knows that there are things to do and places to go. So, we did our usually walk in the Sourland Mts. While she is not fond of the ramp, I am making her use it to get in and out of the SUV. (weekends is for getting into the car and traveling to our walking places). The last thing I want her to do is jump in and out of my very high SUV. She was very ready for our walk this morning taking the lead. She did however run out of steam, so the walk was shortened. I thought she'd be too tired to do anything else but lay down and sleep when we got home but she started her pacing again. I don't know if she was uncomfortable or anticipating that it was egg-day today. She's only had one before, how would she know? I'm thinking she is still uncomfortable. It was time for the cheese treat and she turned her nose up at it. But when I put down the eggs, she inhaled them, the donut and left over GIG cookies. Her FAVORITES are the banana chips covered with bacon that we got there. She can't get enough of them. (anyone know where I can buy more?) I then went outside and worked in the garden and she came out and laid near me on the cool soil. So I know she wants to be with me. I think she realizes I'm her forever Mom. So she has improved over Thursday night. But she's not back to where she was Thursday morning. I hope she will feel good enough to at least enjoy a few more laps around the yard.

MP_the4pack Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Crystal has so much personality. Kelly came over with Luna to visit (Luna is the little girl that Opal T boned and paralyzed last Dec but became a Christmas miracle when she got up to walk while I babysat her at my house). Anyway, Kelly took a pix of Crystal and she came running up to her barking. I quess she feels she's above the paparazzi taking photographs of her. She did this at GIG too. That "flashy thing" started her barking and she didn't shut up til we got back to the room. (I'm sure it's her stormaphobia.) But because she actually doesn't look upset, it seems quite comical. She enjoyed an afternoon in the sunshine chomping on a rawhide. And has just finished her dinner of kibble and sardines. She's currently on her bed, looking at me. She seems content.

MP_the4pack Posted May 6, 2012 Author Share Posted May 6, 2012 Wow, that Luna...I have been reading her blog, what a story! Glad that Crystal got to enjoy some sun shine, no flash needed outside either yes, that Luna. The collision with my little Opal caused her problems. The only saving grace was that Opal weighed about the same as Luna did and not more. I don't think Luna would be here if the accident happened with an 80 boy. And I got to witness the miracle as Luna walked for the first time over xmas. Today, she ran and played in the big yard. The only evidence of the accident is a slight limp.
