First of all, thank you to everyone who wished Daisy well. I thought she was going to die that night I sat up with her, she was so sick, she was hurting and I felt helpless. Was not sure the antibiotics was going to help her, but, thank goodness it did and today (Monday) she is so much better and will be given her last two doses of antibiotic. Sorry I did not stop by again, but I have lack of sleep and have been busy spring cleaning my home through all the crazy. I feel like something really sweet I can just sit and munch through and a good long thunderstorm I can sit and look out at. Sigh... I hope you all have had a good weekend and will have a happy week. I am going to try to catch up a bit with you all now. As we say in Afrikaans "hou die blink kant bo" keep the shiny side up

@bluesa And thank you! Being a nurse is a full time job and so exhausting, but we do it out of love.

Thank you, Iz. Yes, we fret because they can't tell us what is wrong, we only know they are sore or ill.

@bluesa We're fine thanks Catherine. As you know we're going on a cruise - Noel really wants to go even though his health isn't good. He says he might as well be somewhere where there are distractions and - his words - "if it's my time, at least I'll go out with a bang!"

It was a tummy infection, it was even causing her ribs to pain. I wanted to bawl. She is better now and to see her wag her tail again is a wonderful feeling.
