A Bad Day

I am trying hard not to be too stressed about Sam and things, but yesterday was a pretty bad day. I was supposed to take Sam on Thursday to have surgery, instead I cancelled the appointment, and am now trying to get a referral to a specialist in calgary. I am really hoping that I can get in soon and that it is not going to be more than two thousand dollars. I found myself pretty close to tears a few times today and I am not one to be emotional like that so I was annoyed, which just made it worse. Ugh.

I do think that I am now on the right track and I am not even sure why I am so uptight about getting it done NOW. What is a few more days in the whole scheme of things right? I have talked to a lot of people in the past day. I posted Sam's story to all of the email lists and forums I belong to, and have had a lot of feedback. From the agility group over and over again people told stories of how wonderful TPLO was. From the cardigan only goup I heard about how just crate rest, or even the trad surgery worked for them. And the Ortho group of course had mixed opinions, depending on who you talked to. It is nice to know however, that I am not alone and that many others have had to face this same thing.

Sam had a good day yesterday, I left him home in the morning and my dad picked him up and brought him to work around noon so April could do some TTouch on him. Vito played at the daycare all day- Molly Brown is there for three days this week and he and Vito LOVE each other, it is very cute. The daycare has been the best thing for Vito- he is far more friendly and receptive to dogs now, and has quite a bit more energy. Wicca came with Sam for half a day and I took her to class lastnight to work on a few things. She was pretty good- we worked on weave pole entries and contact to tunnel things.

Fall is coming up quick and I am slightly depressed that it is dark by 8:20......
