Grief and Loss Lecture

I dropped my Basset Hound off at the veterinarian this morning. He has Cushings disease
and I am afraid it is his time. Dr. Linda said she would give him 48 hours to try and get better, but indicated she was not optimistic. I get into class and what are we discussing? Hard to hold it together. Upon further reflection I think God intended this day just that way. Please pray that I if I have to, I get my old "judge"(If he were a person I think he would be dressed in a smoking jacket with a pipe and slippers - and he always has an opinion) to the rainbow bridge without a lot of pain. Yes, there will be grief and loss, but what a friend I have from the shelter!

The Good Thing has been school. I made great headway in studying for the final. Class, lab and assessment has been exciting, fun and I learned some nifty "connect the dots" information. Good
Studying and Good "Head to Toe"!

  1. I am sorry that you are going thru this. It may seem silly to some to be so attached to our pets but mine is a member of the family. They love us unconditionally and they deserve the best.

  2. Oh no! I'm so sorry! That day was a difficult day listening to all those stories and you were going through that!!! I bet that was a difficult day. Animals are our little people and have just as much love...there are so faithful, loving, and unjudging. My thoughts and prayers are with you!

    You are such a wonderful, caring woman who is going to be the best RN ever! I can only hope that if I ever need care, that I am lucky enough to have someone like you.
