Thanks, Donna--

We've had a peaceful day. Oddly enough, I don't feel the need to SAY much to Ladywolf, either externally or internally--we just look into each other's eyes, and it's ALL THERE!

The ladies' tea party was much more riotous than the ~~-kicker bar. Let's hear it for outrageous WOMEN!!!

Love--Margi and the Wolf

Hi, Margi, so glad to know that you and Ladywolf had a good day yesterday and that you both are "hanging in there" together. I know each day together is precious to you both, and that you will savour each moment of them. Did Lady wear a hat, too, to your birthday tea party?

Thank you so much for keeping us posted as to how things are going with you and Ladywolf. I hope today is a good day - - a SPLENDIFOROUS day- - for the both of you.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Thanks, Moon Beam, for the birthday wishes. It was an okay day, but the weather was terrible and that always impacts my mood--in fact, the weather was so harsh and windy the following day, yesterday, that I just spent it in bed feeling sad. (I usually go swimming for the first time in the season on my birthday--but NO WAY this year!)

I'm in kind of a down mood in general right now--don't feel like doing anything much at all. I turned down substitute teaching this a.m.--it was just too EARLY and I was sound asleep, and my back hurts, and I just couldn't face it--and I NEVER turn down teaching 'cause I need the money so badly. I guess I was just trying to take care of myself--and I didn't know what to do with Lady after last week's failed efforts to get her into Janice's house for dog-sitting. I just feel very...subdued..right now, I guess. I'm sure this too shall pass.

I miss the old wolf, and the young, strong woman who used to run with her!

Margi and Lady

Hi Margi
Hope you and Ladywolf are doing alright. I'm in the middle of making a decision as to whether or not to get another Westie puppy right now. We may be able to get one in June or August. The next two weeks will tell the tale....I truly can't believe I'm getting myself into loving another little furball -- my loss of Sammy was so traumatic -- but maybe Sammy up in heaven is playing a role right now---anyway -- hugs to you and Ladywolf -- I'll keep you posted on our journey to a new pup.
Take care
Blessings always
Sharon

Hi Sharon--

Oh, of course you should get a new puppie! Why not? Sammy would see your love reincarnated in the form of love for the new one, and would totally approve, of that I am sure!

I, on the other hand, will not get another critter for some time to come. I am considering joining the Peace Corps, or something similar, after Ladywolf leaves me, and I will need some time to be dog-free and footloose. I've had dogs (and cats) continuously now for forty years--it's time for a break, hard as that will be for me!

I really do strongly encourage you to get another pup. You have so much fur-kid love in you and nowhere to focus it right now...

Much Love--Margi and the final Wolf

Hi, Margi, greetings to you and Ladywolf on this very warm day here in the Blue Ridge Mountain region of Virginia. I do so understand how the weather can affect how you feel, Margi. Since the automobile collision my whole body feels like a weather barometer, and I am more prone to cluster type migranes from the head injury during extreme weather swings, not to mention the "regular" type migranes that I am prone to (the steering wheel was pushed up into my face - - my seatbelt did its proper thing but couldn't protect me from the force of the head-on collision - - and airbags weren't a part of the auto industry in 1985).

I'm glad you and Ladywolf are still being able to enjoy good quality time together. Each day and each moment of every day is precious to you both - - memories that Ladywolf will take with her and memories you will embrace with your heart when Ladywolf is no longer physically with you.

Have you applied for the Peace Corps yet? How exciting!! I hope you are able to do this - - that it works out for you. I hope you will still be able to keep in touch with us - - wherever you are and whatever you do. But for now it is a privilege to share your and Ladywolf's journey together now.

Thank you, Margi, for sharing with us how things are going for you and Ladywolf, and please know you both are close in my thoughts and prayers.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Oh, Moon Beam-- What a dreadful thing that accident was in your life. How unfair!

I haven't applied to the Peace Corps yet--I am waiting to find out if a pre-existing medical condition would keep them from taking me, and they are taking a LONG time to let me know!

Meanwhile, I wait to find out if I get to teach a for-credit English class at the local community college in the summer, which would change my life in some important ways. I am REALLY sick of substitute-teaching the little ones. My last class was an absolute horror, in fact, I was shocked to be called today to teach next week--I thought that word would have spread throughout the whole SCHOOL about what a horror that class was! I came really close to just walking out!

Life is very challenging right now. Sounds like it's always challenging for you--but you, like me, are a strong survivor.

Love to everyone--Margi and Ladywolf

Hi, Margi, it truly sounds like we do have a lot in common. I really wish I could do something worthwhile and tangible to help you, Margi, but unfortunately I can't give you a job. I am so o o sorry that life is so challenging for you in not so positive ways. I do so o o o o hope that you will get to teach at the local community college this summer and that it opens doors of opportunity for you. And I hope things begin to turn around for you toward more positive experiences really soon.

I know Ladywolf is by your side giving you comfort and encouragement, and I am glad you still have her with you, Margi. And I hope in some way you know that you have my encouragement coming to you across the miles as well.

Margi, please know you and Ladywolf are close in my thoughts and prayers, and I will look forward to hearing from you whenever possible.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Moon Beam and everyone--

Thank you so much for everything.

It's been a bad night so far for me and Ladywolf. Now I guess I can't take her anywhere anymore, so I've had to drop out of my EMT class... One by one, our pleasures disappear...

Margi and the Wolf

I'm so sorry Margi...sending good thoughts your way.

Hugs,
Sonya

Hi Margi and Ladywolf
I do so hope that today is a better day for you both. Treasure each moment together Margi, I know it's hard when you can't do the things that you enjoyed doing together, but just being with her will mean so much to her, and also to you. Have you ever thought about writing about all your wonderful experiences with your Ladywolf and other dogs in a book. I know you are perfectly well qualified to do so and it is clear on here that you have tremendous writing skills. She will be your inspiration and you can use these quieter days together to make a start, maybe, just an idea, but I think having something positive to focus on helps to get us through the harder times.
Sending love and hugs to you both.

Jan and Pixie and my Angels xx

Hi, Margi, yes, one by one the "quality of life" pleasures do disappear in the "twilight" time of our journey together with our furkids. I am so sorry that you and Ladywolf are now at this point. There is no way to be "philosophical" about a loss, Margi, - - whether it be the "anticipatory" or the "after" grief journey. My mom gave me a plaque many years ago with a saying on it "The best gifts in life are tied with heart strings." Our furkids certainly qualify, don't they?

Margi, I know I always end my letters saying this, but it is so o o o important for you to know you are not alone in your journey with Ladywolf - - even though I cannot be physically with you - - or all the other wonderful people in this forum - - please know I am with you in spirit reaching across the miles to you and Ladywolf, and I hope this can be of some comfort to you.

Please know you and Ladywolf are close in my thoughts and prayers, Margi, and please, please let us know how things are going.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi Margi, you and your gorgeous Ladywolf are in my thoughts, I hope she's had a better day today. xx

Thanks, Ladies, for all your good wishes--

Ladywolf seems to be down for the day today. I don't know if she's really taking a turn for the worse, or if she is recovering from her traumas of the past couple of days (falling repeatedly, not being able to get up from a friend's slippery floor, etc.) She's alert and perky and eating; she just hasn't tried to climb up from the bedroom floor yet, and it's almost 4 p.m.

So I don't know what to make of it all--but we're not having a fun day.

Should I be on vigil? I have no idea, but obviously, I'm watching her closely and hanging with her.

Hugs--Margi and the Big Bad Wolf

I check in often to see how you and Ladywolf are doing but unfortunately most days I am unable to offer any words of wisdom as I recall my vigil so many times when my wonderful Flossie struggled with the many medical issues she had over the years and then our last summer together. Knowing her time was coming and trying to savor every moment, watching her every move....... guess it is the price we pay when we make the commitment to them isn't it? I wouldn't have it any other way...... and I'm sure you wouldn't either.

Thinking of both of you today and everyday as you travel these troubled days together. She is worth all your efforts and knows you are going to always be there for her.

I finally got around to reading your story. My heart goes out to you, especially when I can TOTALLY relate. It's so hard to see our babies go through these cycles of good and bad days. Just when you think they are getting better, BAM, they crash and get worse. It's incredibly difficult. My heart goes out to you and your wonderful dog.

-Christine

Margi,

I just wanted to let you know that I am with you and Ladywolf on your journey. You and your wonderful dog are in my thought and prayers. I know how hard this has been for you, as I have been following your storey. I know how difficult it is to take care of a sick fur-kid and seeing them change due to their illness - it is hard. Believe me I know. My heart goes out to you. I am not the greatest with words, but I wanted you to know that I am here.

God Bless.

Love
Karen - Angel Shelby and Casey

Thank you, Christine, Karen, everyone--

Today I went to a Mother's Day Tea with four friends who have never had children, but who all have pets. And then I did a FREEDOM RIDE with Ladywolf--that's when I pile her into the car and we head out to a dirt road where you can really haul bass if you want to, and I rolled down all the windows and played the Eagles really loudly and figured, "Heck, if Ladywolf can't walk, she can at least still RIDE!!!"

It was a good day, even though Lady seems to have some kind of new, open wound that I don't understand...

Margi and the Wolf

Margi,
A freedom ride, what an awesome idea! I'm sure she loved it! Think of all the SMELLS!
I have read your story, and I'm thinking of you as you go through this. It is so hard to continue on with life, as we are made to do in order to survive in our society, when our hearts are with our friend at home. I don't know what else to say having just gone through it myself--except that know that you are not alone. And I want to THANK YOU for all of the support you have given, including to me, even though you're going through it yourself.
Hugs to Lady, she sounds like quite a gal. How lucky you both are to have found each other. That's how I feel about my Stew, "what if we had never met...what a sad life that would've been!"
Love
Kelly

Thanks, Kelly. Deciding to take on a high-percentage wolf-hybrid was actually a huge decision for me, a long time ago...

Lady is resting comfortably tonight, and so am I. Oh, the ups and downs!

My vet gave her about a month. That was back in early January. At that point, I switched her over entirely to people food, and the rest is history...

hugs from margi and ladywolf

One of the Eagles' songs we played very loudly today:


"Seven Bridges Road"

There are stars
In the Southern sky
Southward as you go
There is moonlight
And moss in the trees
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Now I have loved you like a baby
Like some lonesome child
And I have loved you in a tame way
And I have loved you wild

Sometimes there's a part of me
Has to turn from here and go
Running like a child from these warm stars
Down the Seven Bridges Road

There are stars in the Southern sky
And if ever you decide
You should go
There is a taste of time sweetened honey
Down the Seven Bridges Road

Hi Margi
Just wanted to let you know I am thinking of you and Ladywolf. I seen that you left a post on Brutus's forum and if you can when that time comes to have her cremated I would tell you to have it done. I can only speak for myself having Dozer's ashes does help so much knowing he is right here with us in the house is so comforting and like Sonya also said she takes Brutus with her when she goes away. It may sound crazy but just taking Dozer for a ride the other night I felt so much better. I feel as though he truley was riding with us. If I had known how much difference it makes you feel I would have had Max cremated. At the time I couldnt bare thinking he was going to be put in fire. But after having no choice as large as Dozer was I now wished would of had it done for my Max. The cost here for Dozer which he was 145lbs was only 150.00 I am so sorry that your state chrges so much. I dont like talking about it to you because I hope your ladywolf still has many more months to share with you. Please give Ladywolf a big hug and kiss from her LS Auntie.

Hugs
xoxo

Hi, Margi, I am so o o glad to read your post from yesterday about going on a "Freedom Ride" with your precious girl. I did the same thing with my Oslo. I didn't want his last memories to be just going to the vet - - I wanted him to take good memories of our time together with him to the angels of rides in the car just for the company.

When we first adopted one another in 1998 I had a Taurus station wagon, and he endured that "cramped" space - - the entire back of the car was set up for him - - until June 2003 when I was finally able - - and had no other choice but to - - purchase another used vehicle - - the Taurus was literally falling apart. I got a 2003 used Olds van that has the rear A / C, I took out the middle seats and got a thick mattress from Drs. Foster and Smith and then added two thin lambs wool covered pads on top of that and then put a comforter over that, and then got a ramp to help him in and out of the van. It was so o o much easier on him - - and me. He could actually stand up and stretch and look out the windows without my having to ask him to lay back down so that I could see out the rear window. I still have his mattress and things in the van - - just can't bring myself to take them out - - it's like he's still riding with me with them in the van.

I do so hope that you're able to figure out the new "wound" - - is it doing any better today? It does sound like it's a source of some kind of infection or something - - I do hope that just keeping it clean and leaving it to the air will hlep heal it. Have you thought about putting some antibiotic on it - - like Neosporin? Even if she licks it off it won't hurt her.

Thank you so o o o much for sharing with us how your day went yesterday, Margi. Please know you and your precious Ladywolf are always close in my thoughts and prayers, and I look forward to knowing how things go for you both.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

P.S. I am typing this without my glasses on - - everything is a bit fuzzy so I hope it reads okay!!!

Well, Lady's "owie" is healing up just fine, thanks to lots of peroxide and antibiotic ointment. I guess it was just a small wound, after all, and not tumor-related.

And tomorrow, thanks to the generosity of one of our members, Ladywolf is going in to the vet for a check-up, bloodwork, and anything else they think that she needs, like maybe a stronger painkiller. I couldn't possibly have paid for all this myself, and I bless this Forum and this particular member from here to eternity for helping us out! All of you are angels! Please wish us good fortune at the vet tomorrow...

Big hugs from Margi and the Wolfster

We're thinking of you and sending prayers and love to you and Ladywolf.

Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Hope everything goes ok for you at the vets later today.

Irene.

Hi Margi and Ladywolf,

I have been following your post but not commenting much as I have not been in the right palace (still very much grieving myself) but I just want you to know that you and Ladywolf are in my thoughts daily! I log on here every day to check how you and Lady are going and hope that you had a positive day at the vets today!!

Much love and hugs your way!! And plenty for Lady too!!

Love

Kristy

Hi all--thanks for your good wishes!

I'm nervous about taking Lady to the vet today. But heck, after all, she's stayed alive for months longer than she was "supposed to" according to the last diagnosis. What more could I find out except that she has terminal cancer, which I already think I know? Maybe that she has diabetes too, since she has some of the symptoms of it. But she's still perky, though I'm sure she won't be too "perky" at the vet's office!!

Margi and the Wolf

Dear Margi , what time is your appointment. It's 20.45 here in Uk right now, and I can't stop thinking about Ladywolf.
What makes you think that Ladywolf has diabetes. I nursed Tasha with Diabetes for 7 years. It can be controlled with twice daily insulin injections and careful monitoring of urine and adjustments to the amount of insulin. It's not as daunting as it seems and Tasha was fine even though she lost her sight. Symptoms were excessive, uncontrollable urination and constant thirst. At first our vet said it was a behavioural problems, not diabetes, but the symptoms persisted and we took her back and insisted on a test for diabetes, but by that time she had lost her sight, and , yes, it was diabetes. We have a different vet now.
I do hope and pray that your vets visit goes ok. Dear Ladywolf is doing so well and I send my prayers for her and my thoughts are with you both.
Love Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

Dear Jan--

Lady's appt. is at 4 Arizona time. Thank you for thinking so much about us!

Her breath smells like acetone. That can be a sign of diabetes or kidney failure (and maybe other things). She does have excessive thirst, but not excessive urination. There's no other sign of either kidney failure or diabetes--in fact, the old girl looks pretty darned healthy to ME today, aside from the rear leg problem. She's been walking (well, limping) all over the property today...

I want good news, but I'm not sure quite what form that would take. It just ALWAYS makes me nervous to go to a vet's office--not to mention what it does to the Wolfster!!

Thanks again for your support!

Margi and Lady

Good luck again Margi, 4pm your time will be midnight here in the UK, so I'll catch up in the morning. I REALLY hope all goes well.

Irene.

Well, the vet absolutely could NOT believe that this was the same "dying" wolf she saw back in January. (What...did she think I brought a stand-in? Just kidding.) The vet is really sweet, I love her, and she just couldn't get over it, the great shape that Lady is in given her "condition" (her alleged cancer). She asked what I did--I said that I changed her diet RADICALLY, and that she only eats people food now, and the vet said that that was obviously paying off!

She did find a little skin infection, so we have antibiotics now, and she drew blood--results back on Monday--to check her general condition of health--overall, it was a very affirming experience. When Lady got the vague "death sentence" in January, I went to war and we've won! And then all of you wonderful people pulling for us, and then contributions of actual money to help, and Lady's and my own strong INTENTIONS--all have paid off in rewarding us with all these extra months together, and maybe many more. The vet agreed that the tumors haven't grown much. It's all pretty miraculous.

Feeling good tonight, thank you so much, everyone!

Margi and the Wonder Wolf

Oh Jan I'm so glad you had a good visit to the vets, you must be so relieved. All of your hard work has certainly paid off.

Irene.

Wonderful news Margi!

Hugs to you and Ladywolf,
Sonya

Great news Margi. Big HUG for Ladywolf. Keep up the home cooking, it's obviously doing the trick, well done .

Jan and Pixie and my Angels x

Margi, that's awesome! I'm so glad for you. Maybe your stress level can rest a little bit for awhile. Keep up the good work!
-Donna

P.S. From Margi

Hallelujah! Now, it IS possible that she is having some kidney failure, based on what her breath smells like, but it's very hard to check for, since when part of a kidney shuts down, the rest of the kidneys go into overdrive. So that I won't really know unless or until she really downslides.

But otherwise, what we have is...WONDER WOLF!!! I thought that we might!

It was SO nice not to care what it all cost, which was over $200 so far--I felt so free to say "Yes, do that." And I felt like a responsible parent, taking her in for an expensive "check-up." This way, if she never sees the vet again, I will still feel that I have done my job and won't be racked with guilt, thanks to my oh, so generous, donor.

Lady is also wearing a collar that I hand-made for her (I've been a jeweler for 45 years now) that is dripping with turquoise, bone, and tiger-eye. It's gorgeous, and the vet was VERY cute when she was leaving us--she said, "All this, and she's better acCESSorized than I am too!" We all just cracked up.

Thanks, ladies, for your good thoughts--

Big hugs from Margi and Wonder Wolf

Hi, Margi, hopefully the blood tests will be able to give you a "hint" about the status of Ladywolf's kidneys. I am so o o glad that the visit went so well. What a very needed positive emotional boost for the both of you, and that counts for a LOT.

I love your new title for her "WONDER Wolf" - - absolutely!!! And her mom is a "WONDER" woman, too, for changing her furkid's diet so radically - - the proof is in the quality of life you have been able to share with your precious girl.

I hope you and Ladywolf will have a very good day, and a great weekend, Margi. You have needed this for a very long time. Please know the both of you are close in my thoughts and prayers, and I will look forward to knowing how things are going.

Peace and blessings,
moon_beam

Hi Margi:

What absolutely wonderful news to hear about your very precious Ladywolf . I am very happy for you both!

What types of food are you making for your Lady? Have you ever heard of the following sites? (I don't know much about barfworld.com)

http://www.shirleys-wellness-cafe.com/healthypets.htm

http://www.barfworld.com/

Wishing you and those you love much peace & love! Also, many blessings to your loving Angel LS donor, too! .

Denise

Margi, based on the thread title I was not sure I wanted to read this latest page but very glad I did. *Very* glad things are looking well for you and the magnificent WonderWolf. :]

Well, everyone, I got a weekend to feel optimistic about Ladywolf's general condition, and then today I found out that she has Diabetes, on top of everything else. This is a for-sure result of the bloodwork that was done on Friday.

So now I have to investigate the cost of insulin and figure out if I will be able to afford to give it to her. Without it, though, the diabetes will probably get her before the tumors do, so I guess I really have no choice. Thanks to the oh, so generous donor from this Forum, I do have extra money right now for Ladywolf, but am not sure about the future. But I'm putting the cart before the horse--maybe it's not all that expensive. I just felt the need to share this bit of new information as soon as I came home, before I called any pharmacies...

I'm not terribly surprised, actually--her breath smells like acetone, and I had already learned on the internet that that is a sign of either diabetes or kidney failure. So I expected one or the other.

This is all kind of hard--a 15-year-old beloved who already has one terminal condition, now this too. Ah well, it's always something... I'll try to keep my chin up and move forward here. At least it doesn't bother me to give injections--I'm EMT trained, though I've never worked in that capacity...

Onward, brave soldiers all of us!

Margi, the Wonder Wolf, and Sweet Pea (my neighbor's dog whom I also posted about this week...sigh...)

Margi, I'm sorry about this new development. I was just talking to my husband last night about how the ailments began to snowball for Niles and Frasier. But diabetes isn't that bad if you're ok with doing the injections. And maybe getting it under control will give her a little strength back. Margi, your journey has been so long and hard. My heart goes out to you. I know when one of my pets is sick, I'm just overcome with it. So, I can only imagine how tired you must be.
We're here for you, girl.
-Donna

Thanks so much, Donna. Yes, I didn't actually think that the journey *would* be this long after Lady was diagnosed with terminal cancer, although I *hoped* it would be! I also didn't know that it would get this complicated...Yes, I am very tired most of the time!

Insulin and syringes are not as expensive as I was fearing. Around $50 for a 45-day supply of insulin and another $15-$20 for syringes. It'll be a strain, but I can manage that. I had to teach all afternoon after talking to the vet at noon, but before I was able to research the costs, and I was very nervous. I thought that maybe the whole deal would cost *hundreds* of dollars per month. At least that's not the case.

Poor Ladywolf. Tumors, a bad skin infection, and now diabetes. But she still seems to have a decent quality of life, and I KNOW that she'll feel better when the insulin starts working, which will take some time, so I need to start in the next couple of days.

Thanks again for your support, for all the blessed support that comes from this amazing Forum!

Margi, the Wonder Wolf, and Sweet Pea

Margi
I am sorry to hear that Ladywolf has the diabetes diagnosis as well. But at least you know what you are dealing with now and know that you can do something to make her feel better from the diabetes. I also know how tiring it is to find that more things are adding to our pet's illnesses. I hope that she feels better soon. I hope it is some comfort to you to know there is something you can do to help her feel better and have a better life quality.

I'm feeling really bummed out tonight, wondering how long Lady has been diabetic, how much of her falling has had to do with the diabetes instead of her tumors, NOT looking forward to having to shoot her up twice a day and running around all the time trying to catch urine to test, etc. I just feel kind of pressed to my limits. But I have to go on being here for her, even if it means that I'll never be able to leave for even one night away from home until after she passes, and then feeling guilty for even thinking about that...

I really need for something else GOOD to happen right about now, something unrelated to Lady. Like landing the college teaching job, which I should hear about this week, I'm pretty sure.

Thanks for your kind words, all.

Margi and the Wolfster

I understand the guilty feelings, Margi, but from where I stand you have absolutely nothing to feel guilty about. It is the natural progression of things that this will happen eventually despite anyone's best efforts (it's going to happen to every one of us), and your life will change because of it, and you are aware of it. That is not a bad thing.

She's very lucky she has you... when I found out my husband was diabetic, my brain screamed "Dear God, just die and get it over with!" I had been working in a geriatric hospital where there were people with advanced and frequently undertreated diabetes with organ failure, amputations, etc. That's all I knew about diabetes then. That was some 10-15 years ago. He's doing pretty good actually, still has all his bits. :]

I hope the diabetes management winds up being easy for you both and it improves her quality of life even further. :]

Dear Margi

Sorry to hear about ladywolfs' diabetes diagnosis. As I have mentioned in my postings Tasha was diabetic for the last 7 years of her life and it was honestly not bad at all to deal with, once the monitoring is mastered with the urine tests. She got so used to her twice daily injections , which I was worried about giving, as I'd had no experience. You say you've been trained and so that 's good that you're fine to do it.
The costs were not too bad either here in Uk. Pm me if you want any help or advice.
Thinking of you and Ladywolf and Sweetpea
Jan and my Angels and Pixie x

I'm sorry about this new development Margi...but maybe now that you know what you're dealing with you can make her more comfortable. You sure have been taxed lately, be sure and take care of yourself. Sending good thoughts your way for the job, and for Ladywolf and Sweetpea.

Hugs,
Sonya

I woke up feeling really bummmed today, as lethargic as Ladywolf is. I haven;t been eating too well lately, since half of my food budget goes to Ladywolf food... And no there will be this added financial burden, even though it isn't all THAT expensive. Thank god I have some money left over from my generous L.S. donor.

I just feel sorry for myself, for us, today. I know that this insulin thing is doable; it just seems entirely overwhelming at a time when Lady's skin problem is only just beginning to clear up and her energy level is so low. But her appetite continues to astound me!

I have to make a bunch of phone calls--maybe I'll try to do that from a friend house--that might help to motivate me more to get the insulin act together today. (I also have to drive some distance to get to where there are stores, and I hate making that trip under the best of circumstances, which these definitely are NOT.)

Thanks for letting me moan a little.

Margi and the Wolfster

Well, I'm doing better. I've made the phone calls and made an appt. with the vet tech for 3:00 today, to get all trained to become a medic...

Sigh...

Margi and the Wolf

P.S. Sweet Pea is at the vet right now. Sigh...
