October 7, 20214 yr I think Cookie may have another comeback in her! Between the stress, the cone, the nose tube, and being kenneled in an unfamiliar place, it's not surprising that she doesn't have an appetite. C'mon Cookie, you can do this.
October 7, 20214 yr Yay, that's such good news, Jillar!!! I'm glad some people food is back on the menu because sometimes that's all that works. Baby food with chicken or beef might work, too, if she's allowed to have it. Go Cookie!
October 7, 20214 yr Just returned from the Post Office, where I shipped three beautiful vintage Seiko watches to the UK for service. One of my buddies on my watch forum is going to get them all in tip top shape. I am very excited about that.Simon says I should have them back before Christmas. 😊

I remember one time when the vets told us Roscoe was a goner, he was groggy for a couple of days when he came home. He slept a lot and gradually ate more. After a few days, he was right back at it...just like nothing happened. So long as I'm reminiscing about Roscoe...I don't think he took a direct hit, but he was very close to something that was struck by lightning. Poor guy was soaking wet yet every hair on his body was standing straight up. I've never been able to read a dog's expression clearer than I was able to that day. His expression said: "what the hell was that?" Let's raise a toast to good dogs.

Wade and his girlfriend got him all cleaned up and took him to the vet; everything checked out well. Wade said Jerry has a weird habit of liking to sleep between the wall and the refrigerator. He also likes to chew on socks...Jerry the cat, not Wade. We got a bit attached to Jerry when we found him. We put together a care package for Jerry and sent it home with Wade. Jeff put some of those Slim Jim meat sticks in there for him, he said Jerry really likes those.

October 8, 20214 yr She's home! Unfortunately, she's not doing as good as I would have hoped. The vet basically said they did all they could for her and to just love her with the time we have left. What a kick to the gut yoyo ride. But she's had 15 years, 13 with me and I'm just happy she's home. I tell you if I knew it was only going to buy for a little more time I would have never put her through all that but I owed it to her to try......
October 8, 20214 yr Such a sweet baby, I am so glad she is home. Just love, kiss and spoil her. We never know when our time is over human or animal. She looks tired but happy to be home after being in the hospital. We all feel like that after were sick. I will bet she will be up and about tomorrow! K

I tell you if I knew it was only going to buy for a little more time I would have never put her through all that but I owed it to her to try...... You owed it to her and to yourself to do whatever you felt was best at the time. If you hadn't tried you may have always second-guessed your decision and wondered if there was more you could have done, which would make it harder to ever have peace of mind about the situation. Now she's home with you and, since dogs live in the moment, that's all that matters to her now. Give her all the love and let her call the shots, and just let her know that you're there for her either way -- as Doreen said, she may just decide to stick around for a good while yet. Sending hugs to you and Cookie.
October 8, 20214 yr Never doubt your instincts, you did what was right for both of you, if only for 2 months or 2 years, you are together. People thought I was crazy for spending thousands on a dog but they did not understand how important he was to me. They also did not know that I save money just for taking care of my pets. I would rather put that away for them than silly things for me. Their love and company is such a joy in my life. K
October 8, 20214 yr @jillar So glad Cookie is home!! You and her will feel so much better. Love her and remember you have given her A great life!!!

Stumpy...not so much. That boy will eat anything. If you ever feed Stumpy, do it with an open hand. You might lose a finger otherwise.
October 9, 20214 yr Our pets are like our kids, even more so, after the kids have flown the nest. My Barney is my baby now. So It is awful when they get sick or hurt. I hope @jillar gets to have a little more quality time with Cookie. She does look like an Oreo….😊❤️
October 11, 20214 yr Just getting used to the news that my Son and his wife are expecting Twins Edited October 11, 20214 yr by catlover
