Cautious Optimism

The report from the vet today was that Gracie had solid food. Prescription food. They have been giving her some kind of digestive enzymes and she is feeling better.

Still no pathology reports, but they will know tomorrow by 10:30 am whether she's coming home! I plan to take the afternoon to go up and 1) visit or (preferably) 2) take her HOME!

They are thinking this is a chronic condition treatable with prescription food and supplements.

I am so grateful for all of your kind words and prayers and thoughts. We have certainly needed and welcomed them.

On a much less stressful note...

I got a package in the mail today from Lisa -- I won a contest on her blog and I can NOT believe the generous and FUN stuff she sent me.



Lovely lime green cascade 220.
Two Annie Modesitt (LOVE HER) flip books
A Knitting CALENDAR!!!
a book about Texas (but of course)
hand soap that smells very nice
vanilla sugar body wash (ooh ahh)

Thanks, Lisa. Your timing for cheering me up was impeccable.

  1. I was SO glad to read your post. Is it maybe that Gracie is allergic to the flavor or color in her food? I knew of a Greyhound some years ago whose people cooked up big batches of lamb and brown rice stew. Tasty stuff with some salt and pepper. Best wishes for Gracie and you both.
