your day can get derailed by the unexpected. Normally I spend time working at home in the morning but today has been different……Sasha, our dog, needed to go to the Vet again…..about 2 1/2 weeks ago we went because she had diarrhea BAD! Not a fun thing…..they wanted a sample…..YUCK! but I obliged them and sure enough she had round worms. Well, they wanted me to bring them another sample (ugh!) after treatment and I just hadn’t been able to time that right, fresh poop sample and the Vet being open etc. isn’t always easy and quite frankly I needed to psych myself up for the job!. She has also since developed a small bump on her nose and I wanted that looked at but needed to get the poop sample too!
So, last night I did poop patrol in the garden…(this is not a fun job by the way!) and thought OK, if she does a poop in the morning I will know and we can go. I let her out first thing and nothing. Loaded her up to drop my daughter to pre-school and she permeated the air with an aroma that words cannot express…..my daughter was yelping…..”something is tinky mommy!” My thought was….hmmmmmm I think she may need to poop…..this is good. So, with my little one safely at school I headed home and sure enough……fresh poop! (I know…..very disgusting….the things we do for our four legged family members!) Fortunately the vet gave me a gizmo to obtain this sample and it was fairly painless…..
Sasha is so funny, loves to go in the car but get her to the door of the Vet and she just sits down…..ain’t going any further! Just like a kid, she doesn’t like going to the doctor. So I practically drag her into the doctor’s office and thanking God that being a weekday it is pretty quiet so we get right in. (On a Saturday, which is what we did last time, everyone and their dog or cat is there…..it’s crazy!)
The Vet comes in and we chat a bit, he checks her nose and isn’t quite sure what it is and recommends we watch it for another week or so….then if it isn’t getting smaller they go ahead and remove it. They also check the poop sample and we get the all clear!! Yay!
Doctor appointments or changes in the schedule of things really messes up my day…..I get the feeling that while I have been busy, busy…..I haven’t gotten the “normal” things done…..
So, that’s my day so far…..
Cheers!
