in other news, crabtree has a hurt leg.
i don't know what's wrong.
it seems like it's his shoulder, though, which sounds expensive.
now here's the thing-
we will NOT be doing surgeries.
that's just not doable for my dude.
our time together is already attenuated,
and i can't imagine he'll be happier if he's hemmed up and incapacitated.
i'm broken up inside about it.
we'll go to the vet today if they'll see us,
and decide what we're doing accordingly.
my fingers are crossed and my heart is tight in my chest.
and that's legit only about 30% because of the dog.
november is hell on my heart,
and my feelings, and my eyes, and my time.....
all these gentle hearts out there.
and then there's mine.
it all feels like there's no blood anywhere left in my body.
exsanguinated by emotions.
that's new;
never quiet, never soft.....
