@Captain24 You are just as important as Pix, I think. I guess you mum see it as the vet visit is immediate threat life-saving, where as the psychologist she sees as less life-threatening to miss? 🤔
Food for thought - perhaps let the psych know the reason for cancelling is due to the vet bills and inability to afford the visit? It could give her understanding, and if she is able and willing she may even often something like a reduce fee or bulk-billing once-off, or a way to pay the gap later after a few pay-checks have come into you bank?
Not sure if you have any really trusted friends you could reach out to to ask if you could borrow the amount for the gap free for a few months? I suggest this only because I know I would really want one of my trusted friends to ask me to borrow money if they needed to for something like a psych appointment. 😘
Just wondering if there is a way you can try to get both still, with a deferred payment schedule.
Putting Pix before yourself shows just how important she is to you. 🤗. You have such a big heart for your dogs. And as you say, they are your life. And you both save each others lives multiple times.
I wonder if taking a few minutes to calm and centre yourself will help Pixie feel safer too, and to come out and join you in your grounding?
