My bright side today is that I made an appointment for Ferguson to get his cataract looked at and see if he is a candidate for surgery. He is a crusty old dog but I love him and expect him to have a few years left. If she could see better it would make his life easier.
Why does he have a cataract you ask? From Trauma to the eye. He started a fight with our 3.5 pound rabbit twice and got his butt handed to him TWICE. It has not shaken his confidence in the least.
I haves learned so much from him. He has taught me how to understand chihuahua’s. They are small and mighty. They arrive with fists swinging and asking questions later just to survive.
Part of this bright side was that the veterinary ophthalmologist that he is going to see, I met when she was in 9 th grade. I got to watch her grow within the veterinary profession. She watched my kids for me when they were young. We visited her family farm many times when the kids were little.
She was there when Ferguson was just a baby. All 2.4 pounds of him. And here he is pushing15 this year. How cool is it that she is now his doctor in the hospital we used to work together at?
After work I took all the things I set aside to pack so that I could make my final selection. I want to go light but don’t want to be chilly. I also need snacks so I don’t get cranky.
Why are we increasingly more difficult as we age? OR is it that we take better care of ourselves and are wiser?
The flight is long. I have my elastic waist travel pants, asprin and compression socks to combat blood clots and my medication pill boxes. Can’t forget my vitamins and supplements to. Ha!
I just am trying to combat my fussiness. I am pretty easy to travel with as long as everything goes my way. Is that selfish? Ha!
I finished this cinco de mayo with a home made margarita and some chips and salsa.
