I took this photo of Kes (apre' swim) last fall. She sure loves her toys.So, I only finished my sweater parts late last night. Kes was under the weather overnight on Friday - to the extent that I had to take her to the pet Emergency Room at 2:30 Saturday morning. After poking, prodding and a radiogram, it was determined that she has a rather large tumor that is pushing her intestines off to one side. No wonder she was pacing.
She's sleeping, comfortably, next to me as I write this post to you. We have an appointment with our own vet on Tuesday morning, and I'll know more after we go. Until then, I'll make sure Kes is comfortable and pain-free. (Thank Heaven for modern canine meds.)
I'm going to assemble my sweater today so that I can wear it to Handsome's orchestra concert this afternoon. I'm especially looking forward to the Spring-themed classical music to carry me away for a couple of hours. I promise to share photographs of the finished piece tomorrow.
If you think of it, I'd sure appreciate a healing prayer or positive thought for my little Labrador. Thanks.

Hi Donna. Bless Kes' heart. I know it's so difficult to watch one of our babies when they're sick. I hope your vet can give you some positive news about removing the tumor.
ReplyDeleteTake care and I hope you have a peaceful Sunday. Hugs...Tracy :)
It's so hard to watch our pets age and let's hope your vet can help her. Don't like to see our pets suffer. Hope the concert was good. I played many years in our local community band (clarinet and oboe - finally giving up on the oboe, because I didn't want to stand out as a soloist!) Duh - didn't want to practice is more like it! Kept playing inthe clarinet section until I retired. Gone too much to commit the time needed.
ReplyDeleteHugs and prayers for Kes and for you.... hurts our hearts to see our furry friends in pain...
ReplyDeletetake care

Donna,
ReplyDeleteI'm behind on my 'donna visits, had so much to catch up on. First & foremost, your sweet Kes. Oh my prayers are with you. I lost my best friend Lola in 2000 to a similar tumor. She was a golden, Kes face reminds me so of her. The white around her eyes & nose. They are just the BEST dogs, so loving & loyal. It is so painful to see your pets go through anything like that. Even tho they can't talk you can see everything in their eyes.
It sounds like your making good progress on the wedding gown. I cannot WAIT to see it. I know it will be fit for a princess! Wishing you a happy weekend Donna.
Lisa
Sending prayers for you Donna and Kes.
ReplyDeleteHugs to both of you.
What a precious girl. Is there anything sweeter than an old dog?
ReplyDeleteYou are in my thoughts and prayers.

ReplyDeleteWell Donna...you know how much I love Dogs and I understand what it is like when there is something wrong or hurting with a pet. Your Kes will be in our prayers and please let us know how he is doing after his visit to vet. I wish sometimes that my dogs could talk and tell me when something hurts, It is hard sometimes to read their face or know what a certain bark means.
ReplyDeleteGive him a big hug from me :)
Wishing Kes well.
ReplyDeleteyour post touched my heart deeply.
ReplyDeletei am so sorry that you're having to go through this.
