Oh, that Pirate...Sirjury Stopped & She's home

[Glacier]

Sunday, I considered calling the mobile vet for Pirate. She had an awful day and I really thought the end was very near.

Tuesday she rebounded a bit. Her eyes were lively again even if her body couldn't keep up.

Last night, she followed me around the yard while I scooped poop, as she has since I got her. Wobbly gait and moving slowly, but she was moving.

This morning, she felt good enough to lunge at Sleet and try to bite her as they went outside! And she told Mac off when he got in her way. Pirate is almost silent. She's right ticked off when she actually makes any noise and she yelled at Mac!

She's off to the vet this afternoon to have a growing lump checked out and I'm asking for stronger pain meds, who care about side effects at this point! When I booked the appointment, I wasn't sure she would be coming home again. She's definately failing, but I don't think she's ready to go quite yet.

Sending sibe vibes for Pirate. Hope the ole gal is an easy "fix" with nothing major cropping up. We all get a little cranky as we get older, , LOL. but she tried to bite Sleet? Those two have a little turf war going on, don't they?

Lots of prayers and good thoughts heading north for Pirate and the rest of you. She sure has a wonderful life with you.

They hate each other! They exchange snarls daily. Sleet is the most mellow dog, never had a problem with another dog in her 14 years, but she can't stand Pirate. They are both too decrepit to really do anything about it though! If they were younger, they'd be in seperate pens!

They remind me of a cranky very elderly couple who squabble all the time!

I hope Pirate gets many more happy and quality days with you.

Awe... two grumpy old doggies! Hope Pirate will feel better after her visit to the vet. Feel better hugs to her, and to old lady Sleet!

Some day you'll be 'old & decrepit' and < snarl > at the neighbors.
