Hi All,
Good NEWS!She seems totally back to normal today. Also, I'm kind of thrilled that Tiger, (her brother) who has been very lonely since Kitten passed away this past Nov. is finally seeking out Rosie's company. Rosie has been a loner cat for the past 5 years. She and Kitten didn't get along so she became a very territorial bedroom cat. That's another reason adopting her out is so difficult for me to wrap my head around. She is not a social cat. The thought of sending her to a place where she will be among many other cats, would send her round the bend. Tiger has been howling at me non-stop for the past couple of months. The vet found nothing wrong so thinks he's still mourning. And, and acting out by blocking the doggy door and so my pug keeps getting stuck out in the sub zero temps, if I'm not paying close attention I'm terrified he'll freeze to death. He's so dumb he will just stand out there all day if I don't call him in.
I have so many things happening all right now so if you are curious here goes. You don't have to read all this,It's for my venting sake.
My neck pain is so bad today, my right hand and wrist is useless and weak, it feels like electrical shocks all over when I move it. I'm wearing a brace. Thank god, I start PT on Monday. Hopefully, she can give me some type of pain remedy. I can't tolerate any over the counter pain medicines and I can't seem to stomach most of the herbal remedies for pain. I'm miserable. Heat and ice is all I got and it doesn't really help.
My 8 year old Peke was so sick yesterday, I thought she was on death's door, she ate something bad, I guess. She immediately improved after the $100 vet appt. That's Murphys law right? My pug is going to the vet today for a dark spot that looks very suspicious on his bottom.
My 13 year old son, is finally more stable after another depressive episode. He's getting a psych eval finally I requested it months ago.
My 17 year old step daughter is being a royal b%^$# lately. Normal, for the age, I know but stress on top of stress on top of stress. No one seems to want to be there for me. just take take take.
My husband is a very sweet dumb man so useless in family/animal matters. AAAAHHHH! Calgon take me away!

I love my Rosie. I sadly have to admit that I actually forget about her sometimes. I worry so much that I gave her pancreatitis. I really need a vacation from my worries. Does anyone know someone in the Rockville, MD area, who I could hire to come and test/dose her, if I could set up a few days away this spring or summer? Maybe that vet tech could or maybe he knows someone?
Thanks for the support.

Venting is just fine here. We all need that from time to time. Being a wife and mom is tough even if the only kids you have is furry ones. Every other job in the world you get at the very least weekends and holidays off. Not to mention there is a set work day not so much when you're a mom it's 24 hours a day 7days a week 356 days a year.

Plus I think we all understand how hard it would be to think of giving up any of our fur kids. Trust me with my 17 there are days I would love to ship them all to the four corners of the earth. But I don't ever really mean it.

While the gentleman might be close enough to adopt he lives in Arlington VA. What I would suggest is asking at your vet clinic if they either have a vet tech that would like to make a little extra money pet sitting or see if they can give you referrals for a local sitter. I'm actually blessed that my next door neighbor loves my furry kids and she's a CNA so she pops over to let the dog out and test and shoot the sugarcats.

With everything you have going on, I think a vacation would be terrific for you. Even if it was just a few days, 3 day weekend or something.

Like Mel said, check with your vet's office. One of the techs at Lucian's vet does pet care and I plan to have her take care of mine when I'm away. She even has her business cards on the counter with the vet's. :-D

You have your hands full, over full, take some time for yourself. It will help you cope.
 
Well I am just down in Northern VA so maybe between me and Arlington guy, we could take Rosie in for a while to give you a break. Of course if you could find someone to come in, that would be better for Rosie.

Bless you for all you are going through. This is a good place to vent. We all take care of each other here. I am glad you are among us now.
