Pray for my Katy please.

[HereWeGoAgain]

I'm so sorry. I hope she's a whole lot better.

Thanks Disir.
Where worried sick that she'll need the surgery and that she's strong enough to pull through it if she does.

 

[Disir]

That's pretty scary.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

That's pretty scary.

Yeah...the wife and I have always agreed to go the extra mile for our pets at least once,costs be damned.
I figure we owe them that for the years of love they've given us.

Thanks Harry.
It's the brain tumor that scares the hell out of me.
They did some initial xrays on her lungs and internals just to make sure she's a candidate for brain surgery,those came out good.
Next is the MRI and CT scan to determine if it truly is a brain tumor.
Hopefully it's something that can be controlled by drugs.

It just sucks sitting here trying to eat a roast beef sandwich and she's not here begging for a bite.

Thanks everyone for all the well wishes for Little Booger,(Katy's nickname)
I'm going to hit the sack as it's been a long stressful day.
And again thank you all for the best wishes.
I'll let her know everyone's cheering for her swift recovery.

 

[HereWeGoAgain]

They let us take her home today because they thought it would be less stressful for her.
We have to bring her back on Tuesday so the surgeon can take a look at her and decide on a course of action.

She's zonked out at the moment since they gave her a sedative to make the ride home easier on her.

And again thanks for the well wishes everyone.

Only about ten miles.
But when we tried to take her home after they'd stabilized her at the vet clinic she started having trouble breathing halfway home.
They attributed it to stress and the possibility of swelling in her throat from the seizure so the thought it best for her to wake up in her own bed.

 

[The Great Goose]

n Homer's Odyssey, Argos (/ˈɑːrɡɒs, -ɡəs/; Greek: Ἄργος) is Odysseus' faithful dog. After ten years fighting in Troy, followed by ten more years struggling to get home to Ithaca, Odysseus finally arrives at his homeland. In his absence, reckless suitors have taken over his house in hopes of marrying his wife Penelope. In order to secretly re-enter his house to ultimately spring a surprise attack on the suitors, Odysseus disguises himself as a beggar, and only his son Telemachus is told of his true identity. As Odysseus approaches his home, he finds Argos lying neglected on a pile of cow manure, infested with lice, old and very tired. This is a sharp contrast to the dog Odysseus left behind; Argos used to be known for his speed and strength and his superior tracking skills. Unlike everyone else, including Eumaeus, a lifelong friend, Argos recognizes Odysseus at once and he has just enough strength to drop his ears and wag his tail but cannot get up to greet his master. Unable to greet his beloved dog, as this would betray who he really was, Odysseus passes by (but not without shedding a tear) and enters his hall, and Argos dies. The simplicity of the relationship between Argos and Odysseus allows their reunion to be immediate and sincere.

Excerpt from the Odyssey

As they were speaking, a dog that had been lying asleep raised his head and pricked up his ears. This was Argos, whom Odysseus had bred before setting out for Troy, but he had never had any enjoyment from him. In the old days he used to be taken out by the young men when they went hunting wild goats, or deer, or hares, but now that his master was gone he was lying neglected on the heaps of mule and cow dung that lay in front of the stable doors till the men should come and draw it away to manure the great close; and he was full of fleas. As soon as he saw Odysseus standing there, he dropped his ears and wagged his tail, but he could not get close up to his master. When Odysseus saw the dog on the other side of the yard, dashed a tear from his eyes without Eumaeus seeing it, and said:

'Eumaeus, what a noble hound that is over yonder on the manure heap: his build is splendid; is he as fine a fellow as he looks, or is he only one of those dogs that come begging about a table, and are kept merely for show?'

'This dog,' answered Eumaeus, 'belonged to him who has died in a far country. If he were what he was when Odysseus left for Troy, he would soon show you what he could do. There was not a wild beast in the forest that could get away from him when he was once on its tracks. But now he has fallen on evil times, for his master is dead and gone, and the women take no care of him. Servants never do their work when their master's hand is no longer over them, for Zeus takes half the goodness out of a man when he makes a slave of him.'

So saying he entered the well-built mansion, and made straight for the riotous pretenders in the hall. But Argos passed into the darkness of death, now that he had fulfilled his destiny of faith and seen his master once more after twenty years.

—Homer, Odyssey, Book 17, lines 290-327
