Old Age - It's Not For Wimps
Tuesday, June 28, 2011 at 7:29AM Here I am approaching my 14th birthday and I'm falling apart. Overnight! I'm fit as a fiddle except for my heart that won't beat fast enough and now this mysterious blob in my gut.
Tell me - how many dogs do you know who actually have a team of cardiologists? Well, I do. Sometimes I go to my regular vets in Blugene and sometimes I have to go up to the Vet School in Corn Valley. It's kind of fun, but woof! it's a long day.
Now I have to have surgery because they wanna see what the blob is all about. They think it might be one of the reasons my heart's not keeping up with things. So under the knife I go on Thursday. My mom is crazed with worry. I do what I can to keep her heart from beating way TOO fast.
Gotta go up Wednesday around noon to get checked in and then I think I'll be home on Saturday. I can tell you this: I'd sure rather be over at the beach watching all the fireworks this weekend even though I can't stand all that noise! That's getting better though - I'm a little hard of hearing these days. I mean, I will be 14 years old on July 4, after all . . . .
