    The laptop Mom gave me has now died. The Hard drive is toast, and The computer guys are trying to retrieve our documents (B's stories) and photos. It was a very old computer, and it just...gave up.

  August 5, 2012

  I am once again faced with the hardest decision a Pet Parent has to make: do I decide that my animal has had enough, or let her body fail completely first? I don't want her to suffer, and she isn't well to start with.    I hate this.

  Mom is recovering, but slowly - physically AND mentally. It scares the crap outta me - and we are praying she hasn't had a stroke. In other news, this is what we're looking at for weather these days: Fun stuff! :P

  Here I thought that the hardest part about this surgery shit was waiting for Murphy to get out of surgery safely. No, the hardest part is worrying about the wound - noticing that it's wrapped TOO tightly - that his foot & toes are very swollen - that the whole bandage is WET, and therefore&he...
