Title: Typical
Post by: PennyB on May 03, 2016, 04:28:17 PM
Talk about bad timing just had a call for Lady (working cocker) to be on stage for next 5 nights with Dudley Sutton (he used to play Tinker in Lovejoy) in 'Of Mice and Men' as Candy's dog (who gets pts in the book) at the theatre here - 300 quid in my pocket and she only needs to 'perform' for about 5 minutes each night but had to be there the whole production - had to turn it down though

I had to turn it down though as Lady had 2 visits to the emergency vets over the weekend - fingers crossed it is just her heart (sad that am wishing that this is best case scenario).

I'm so sorry. It's always the way- I turned down many things while my boy was so ill. Bad career move but wouldn't change a thing with hindsight.

Really hope she bounces back. :blink:

Me too and happy to have declined Lady's offer to start her career on the stage if it means she's well enough - I know I laugh about this as its sod's law in my life at the moment too (my sister is very ill as well and after losing my beautiful cocker boy Wilf and one of my cats recently life isn't fun at all so the theatre thing would've been a good distraction)

Vet just pulled that face just now when I left her there, so am sat her on tenterhooks as to whether her time with me will be very short now - my pets do defy normal thinking though so hope its that

Seems she has lung cancer and its now in her hip - she's happy as I keep letting her do norty things like sneak upstairs and steal the cat food or she follows me outside so she can sit in the sunshine - later I will take her with the other 2 to mooch in the woods at the bottom of the road

How is she in herself Penny?

She wants to be around me and the others but not quite the centre of attention she used to be - I used to have to practically peel her off me but not any more. Food is something she really enjoys still plus have changed her over to wet food now, which she loves. I took her for a gentle walk with the others this afternoon and the beauty of our park (which is just at the bottom of the road about 10 terraced houses down) is she can stay still if she wants while the others can race up and down the steep riverbanks and through the woods but occasionally she'd break into a trot to explore a little. Once she finds it difficult to do that or to eat then I'll know its time.

I did think this morning might be time but realised she was recovering from yesterday's sedation as she perked up afterwards.
