have been a tough time for me. Sophie, our beloved Old English Sheepdog developed severe
pain in her left leg & could not stand. This was of course at 8pm when Phil decided to
get ready for bed. So we put a sheet under her & took her to the emergency vet. Sat
outside till she was examined & then the doc came out to tell the diagnosis. X-rays
later plus the exam showed the “ shot” knee needing replacement. We took her home with
anti- inflammatorys & pain pills. Got her comfortable at home. The next morning her
left front leg was giving her problems. We went to our regular vet in the morning for
options. At 12 years of age she is not a surgical candidate & had to put her down. She
was the best friend to Phil, his guardian & love. She would come to me when he was in
trouble or if she needed something, I also loved her gentle soul snd was a joy to have
around. She is sorely missed. THEN Thursday afternoon, he informs me he is do
constipated, ok, gave him a laxative . Then he tells me that he has not been able to pee
since yesterday. WHAT!!! As our ER was a 6hr wait, we drove down to Phoenix to Mayo
Clinic ER, who took him immediately. Of course, I could not go in due to the COVID
outbreak . They put a catheter in, X-rayed & sent him home to see the urologist on
Friday. No masses, no indication as to why. So of course, had to go back to Mayo Clinic on
Friday. The Phil went in, I sat in the car & read a book. He is fine...Thank you
God! Hope not to go threw that again. Today is a better day... Wishing all a joyful
Christmas & HAPPY NEW YEAR ... KittSent from my
