The meds... the Vet sent home, have to be given every 8, and 12 hours, staggard.
Peanut... won't eat or drink... so have to poke them down her throat.
One...med has to be dissolved in water, then put in a syringe, then... I squirt it down her throat.
The last couple of nights, when I could sleep, a bit... kept waking up, to see if Peanut was still breathing
To say... I've been a Pool of Goo, over the last week, or so... would be an understatement.
Been down 'This' road... too many... many times throughout my life.
I gotta tell ya, it doesn't get easier.
I've tried Everything I can think of, to get Peanut to eat...a little, or...
take a sip of water.
No Dice.
The thing is, ya can't let the 'Critters' know... 'feel'... how sad you are.
'Worried'.
They... 'Feel' that, and worry... about us.
<3
: (
They... don't understand... what's 'happening'.
and why...
they are being put through such Hell, when they already... feel so sick.
: (........................
It's heartbreaking... to say the very least.

{began the above post... yesterday.
Couldn't get through it.
It was a long day, and night.
many of them }
Yesterday... early morning, my phone rang.
I... was up, had been, for a long time, but...
was
Nowhere... near ready to face 'People'.
On the other end, was an Amishman,
from
Dutch Brother's Construction, Delhi, Iowa.
I'd gotten a very good bid from Marvin, quite sometime, back...
for The Rabbit Hole's roof.
Marvin said... it would be July, before they could fit The Rabbit Hole in.
No Worries.
; )
I was stunned, yesterday morning... a Saturday... when I was informed they were standing outside the door...
Ready To Go!!
; )
Grateful... but, oh... so incredibly weary.
Told the Nice... Young Amishman, Marvin had sent...
that... 'I'm in rare form, this morning.
Been nursing a very sick Pup'.
; )
He said... "Yes... that's.... the difficult side of Animals.
We... tend to outlive them. They.... don't live long enough.".

{Eeeeek.... Pool of Goo. : (........................}
{IDOT, and Fairfax's damned wrongful suicide...
'Bike Trail' next to Highway 151... is good for something.}
{bless their hearts}
: )
: )
I... ran to CR, to grab some grass fed hamburger... for Peanut, while
The Dutch Brother's worked.
{Grabbed some sliced chicken breast, as well. Peanut won't touch boiled chicken, canned food... prescribed food... or Anything, that's 'safe' for her to eat with her issues}
Those two... Young Men, had The Rabbit Hole's Roof... Done, in little over two hours.
: )
<3
Beautiful...
Job.
Grateful.
The Bad News...
Peanut... wouldn't touch the cooked hamburger, either.
: (
The Good News.
Peanut ate some of the sliced chicken, and... salmon...
I had here.
; )
Today... she's still eating small amounts of the sliced chicken breast, and...
Spent a good portion of this day... at the Vet Clinic.
Haven't wanted to write much about it...
{I... don't like thinking about it... myself.}
As a 'Parent'... you're only as happy as your unhappiest Child, whether they be Two,
or
Four legged, in this Family.
The Vet... did tons of tests, blood work, and x-rays.
Everything came back... pretty good.
???
Peanut... is not herself.
It's been a Long Day, for her.
: (
I was going to attend the meeting tonight, concerning Alliant Energy's Proposed Power Plant, that will be a mess for Fairfax, the surrounding Farms, and Communities.
Horrible mess on so many, many... levels.
{With it, should it be approved, would also bring as many as a dozen 'more' Data Centers to our area.
Unimaginable.}
: (
With Peanut... being so under the weather, I... can't leave her.
