I can’t cope

Aw I hope Pix is okay, sending lots of hugs @Captain24

Hopefully the vet calls soon so that you can know. Working sounds good, are you on during the day?

I don't have any plans over the weekend, just relaxing hopefully and spending some time with my family

There is something wrong with her left back leg. @amber22 At the moment she can’t walk on it. But the X-ray shows it’s been there for a long time. My vet isn’t exactly sure what is wrong that’s why she sent the X-rays off to a specialist.

Yeah it’s day shift then Monday and Tuesday are nightshifts.

Relaxing sounds good. Family time is great if it’s good for you!

How have you been?

Aww no, I hope everything will be okay, poor Pix @Captain24

Ahh okay that sounds okay, you can have Monday to sleep!

I'm going okay thanks, how have you been feeling this week overall?

I’m hoping so @amber22. If they say she needs surgery to correct it, I’ll be happy. Financially it will be difficult but it’s better than her needing a biopsy. That word alone scares me.

Yes Monday I have to have an afternoon sleep! I love it.

Im glad you are doing ok.. How’s your anxiety going?

Ive been on struggle street but I have to get over it.

Fingers crossed for just a surgery, I know what you mean about the pet bills. My old girl is nearly 15 years old and needs a lot of blood tests as she's on so much medication, but oh my goodness it's expensive!! @Captain24

My anxiety is going okay - thank you for remembering! I have been trying to meditate daily and I've started to go for some more walks to get out a bit more.

Have you found anything that's been helping you while you've been struggling this week? I hope you're okay ❤️ I'm really proud of you for getting through this week

Hey @Captain24

Hope you are feeling better today.

You sound like a wonderful caring dog mum to Pix. Pix is a very lucky dog to have you in her life.

Oh I can only imagine your vet bills! @amber22. We had 2 dogs that lived to just over 17 and they were expensive. Plus mums rescue before Angel had cushings disease and diabetes so she cost mum upwards of $20000.

Of course I remember! I’m glad you are working on strategies. I can’t seem to get into meditation. But I am so glad it is working for you. Walking and taking in the sights and noticing your surroundings is so good too. I’m too fat and lazy for that! Lol

The support on here has been really fantastic. I’ve also finished off a diamond art and have been doing some Lego. So I do believe that that is some self care! So see have been listening and taking things onboard!! The PGC helps me quite a bit. It gives ideas and strategies.

I’m getting by @Melbcoffeesnob Still a lot of thoughts and urges but I’ve been working on lots of self care! Also a chat with a suicidologist yesterday helped quite a bit.

Poor Pix hasn’t eaten at all today. She is pretty sick from the sedation. I haven’t heard from the vet, I’m hoping she calls tonight with the X-ray results.

I hope all is going well with you?

Omg that is what my girl has - cushings disease! The poor thing - apparently it's quite uncomfortable for her but they said her quality of life is still really good for her age which makes me happy @Captain24

Aw thank you. Yeah meditation was one of those things that didn't start off easy but as I learnt to force myself to do it more then it became a lot better for me. I started with just 2-3 minute ones on the Headspace app, and now I can probably do around 10 minutes. You get out a lot with Pix so that is your walking!!

Oh I am so glad that you feel supported on here. That sounds absolutely amazing, you inspired me to buy a diamond art from Kmart the other day actually. I saw it and thought of you! It's one that is a view of Greece - I am yet to start it though. Yay for the PGC helping you - I also find it helps me too haha, the ideas that everyone brings into the discussion are so valuable 💖

I'm just about to log off for the week, so if I don't reply before I go I hope you have a lovely weekend! I'll chat to you next week 🙂

Your poor girl.. @amber22. We were worried about Misha’s quality of life as well. But in the end she let us know when the time was right.

I love that you got a diamond art and thought of me! They take a really long time so make sure you do it in a space where you can leave it!

Have a great weekend.

Talk later!
