It's the weekend!!!
This is my baby, Sassy. She's 17 years old!!! She still gets around pretty well. Her back legs are getting tired, and they slide around quite a bit. She has a heart murmur, and hypothyroidism, so she takes meds for both of those conditions. We've had her since she was about 10 weeks old, so she's definitely a member of the family. Had to take her to the vet today. She's had a problem with dermatitis for about a year now. Antibiotics help some, so she got two shots today. They clipped the hair around the sore spots too, so she looks a little patchy right now. But that's ok, as long as she gets better.
I also have another baby, Misty. She's my little rescue. A lady who runs a boarding and grooming business told about her on FaceBook. Seems that she had wandered onto this farm a while back, and the man who lived there finally got tired of having her around. He said that if someone didn't take her, he was gonna shot her. I couldn't let that happen, so she became mine. She's so sweet, and just wants a lot of love.
After I got her, I took her to the vet's the very next day. That's when I found out that she has heartworms. I can't afford the main treatment that the vets recommend, so we have her on HeartGuard. That will kill off all of the babies, and keep them from multiplying. We'll keep checking her for the heartworms, and hopefully the adults will die off. The vet said that her heart sounded good and strong, so I just hope for the best for her.
I was a little under the weather on Thursday. My sugar and blood pressure was good, but my heart rate was racing. It does this from time to time since I got my pacemaker last year, but the technician says that the pacemaker is doing fine. When my heart races, I can feel it---in my ears and chest, and it makes me nauseous. I felt so bad that I missed my social media class that night. On Friday, I slept most of the day. It's like my body needs a rest day every once in a while, and I sleep for a day. I feel better today though, so I just go with what my body needs.
I did go up to DS's on Thursday, and got some sewing projects started. Gotta get them finished, cuz they're Christmas presents, so I can't say too much about them yet.
Hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and is getting ready for Christmas, only 10 days away!!! Good thoughts to all, blessed be, hugs!!!
