How do we cope with the day before?
Miz-mouse has not been right for a while now, longer than we have been able to admit to the fact. She had a really bad episode last year, which was put down as heat and a stroke and we thought we were going to lose her then. She came through it with supplements and antibiotics. But she just hasn’t been her usual self since. There is no way to explain that any better, it is as if a little piece of her got lost and never returned. Her mind started to wander. She gets herself lost, even in her own garden or the house, standing still looking around until someone rescued her. Usually one of the other dogs would go and give her a nudge and she would happily follow them, but on occasions she has needed us to go and physically get her. Of late she had been more than happy to potter about just being herself and not wanting to bother with anything else really. Not even had an interest in going for a walk. The biggest sign that she is not right is that the spark has gone out of her eyes, and when we thought about it, had been that way for a while. Then she started being sick. We put it down to Therapy Pet visits being too much for her now, even though she did love going. We fed her plain chicken and pasta, little and often but to no real avail, although she wasn’t as sick. Today we made the decision to let her go. We will phone the vets tomorrow, but as for today … we are lost. The usual thing would be to spoil her, but she just doesn’t want anything. So, we will have a normal lazy day, but with extra cuddles. |
