It has been a hard week. My sweet doggie Solomon was not acting right. He was drinking a ton of water and pee pee like crazy. He was panting non-stop. We had it freezing in the apt and he was hot. He was restless and just not himself. He is almost 14 years old so I know he will not feel great all the time. A year ago the vet suspected he had cushing disease. These symptoms fit that disease. I took him to the vet fully expecting to hear cushing disease - - well I was shocked to hear DIABETES ! Oh goodness. . .
I have to give him insulin shots twice a day. 6 am & 6 pm . . . I thought Lord, how can I do this. I cannot imaging sticking him with a needle once let alone twice everyday . . .
But thankfully the Lord's grace has helped me and I am doing it ! My boy seems so much better too!
So thankful . . . I don't know how long the Lord will allow me to be Sollie's mommy but I am enjoying each day and taking it one at a time . . .
This picture has given me peace . . .
Your doggy is cute. We haven't had a dog for a VERY long time...but I do remember how much we loved him, and how hard it is for them to be sick. Ours passed when he was 12 years old, of doggy leukemia.
ReplyDeleteI guess we do what we have to do...and I am glad that God gave you the grace and strength you needed to do the shots for him Maryellen.
