This Week Is So Stressful !!

[rivermom]

When it rains it pours ~ and I definitely need it to STOP raining!! About a week ago my tiny Yorkie became pretty ill. Runny poop mixed w/ blood and mucus and his ability to let it shoot and spray EVERYwhere kept me running. So he goes to the vet and he's got a little virus.

Well Ransom likes to share, so he then this week gave his virus to Schatzie and Annabelle. Same spraying and shooting action from the back ends of them. I mean I EVEN have blood on my drapes from them. So, steam cleaning the house and running after them. They too go the vet. Luckily i was given some much better stool medicine and thank heaven the stools are once again normal. So now we are just working on finishing their antibiodics.

Then....I get a call from a friend who has my other horse at his pasture. He begins to tell me that Teenah has a pretty bad laseration on her leg and she needs to see the vet. So, quickly I head to his place, load her up, and we head off to the vet. The vets were nice enough to wait for me because it was after hours by the time we arrived. Teenah has a HORRIBLE cut and she's on some major medicine with a boot wrap on her leg. She is very lame now but the vet assured me she will heal just fine.

Then....my hubbies very dear friend only has days to live due to Lupus and Cancer. So he is driving to Kansas this weekend to visit with her. He's horribly sad and I feel bad because I've been so busy chasing sick animals around that I felt I havent had the time to comfort him as he needs. He leaves tomorrow and I will be all alone until Sunday night.

My other horse is at the trainers for 30 days so I can't go ride her to "escape and forget my woes", my other horse is lame, so I guess all I can do this weekend is "continue to clean my house" and wait for hubby to return.

Maybe I should have put this thread into the "positivie" forum because the fur kids are feeling better, my lame horse will get better, and my other horse is doing fantastic w/ her training, and my husband will return home in just a few short days.

I guess it's hard at times to see the positive side of things when you feel so stressed. So.....I might just have two glasses of wine tonight rather than one. Wont hurt nothing right?? LOL
