Vicki:
Thanks for thinking of Tipper. I don't know about what the counselor said. If you feel like this a year form now there is a problem. I know how I would feel and it would definitely go beyond a year. I am glad you are going, and wish some how I could help you. I think of you and Scoop and pray for both of you every nite. God willing how you are feeling will ease up. Blessings
Patti
Thank you Patti

I feel so bad as I know it is hard to stop playing that tape over and over again in your head about Scoop's circumstances. After this experience with Tipper I have learned a lot about Vets and their lack of knowledge, quest for money, and lack of empathy. I will never in my life for as long as I walk this earth ever put my faith solely in a vet. I have learned the hard way thru all the trials and tribulations with Tipper that you can only rely on yourself, bottom line. I am lucky I learned this lesson early enough in her disease. I make all the decisions for her care, and what will and won't be done with her. It is the only thing that has saved her from mistakes so far. It's scary to trust yourself with the thing you value the most in your life, but I have learned that is the only way I can be sure she is safe. An emergency may be a different ball game altogether . For everyday vet care I rely on my judgment and the help from this forum. With your situation, and Scoop being in the hospital, you did the very best you could, know that. We are not Dr.s although some on this forum have more knowledge than some of these Drs. do. In the situation you were in it was hard enough to function yet alone think of all the right things to ask. Most people will never run into this disease in their lifetime. We are the unfortunate ones who did, so we don't always know what is going on. It is unfortunately by trial and error sometimes as you go thru this disease process. I learn new things every day. This all happened very soon after Scoop started on this journey, so you were unable to have all this knowledge then. I don't think anyone on this forum was versed in Cushings before it happened to their dog, some probably never even heard of it. Don't fault yourself for not knowing what to ask. It is just a learning process unless you have had prior experience with it. Your Scoop had the best mom ever, and we all know it. Blessings Patti
Sending hugs and prayers, still missing my Simba too, here for u!
Hi Vicki,
Sending more love and TLC your way.:)
Letti, Kathy,
You two are sweethearts. I can always use some hugs, prayers, TLC, love. Anything you can send my way. I'll take it. I was a real mess a bit earlier then my daughter and I had a nice long talk. It felt good. I am back to feeling all heart broken and restless but not quite as bad as I was.
Hope both of you are doing good. HUGS
Vicki,
We are all having a hard time. :oThankfully none of us are alone. We all have each other.:p Let's keep talking it all out together until it gets easier for all of us. I'm glad that you were able to have a nice long talk with your daughter. Xxxxx
It's so nice to have people who know how you are feeling!!!!!
7 weeks tonight since I last saw my sweet boy Scoop.
Love and miss him so very much.
Crying for you and for me, this sucks so much
