Granny's gone and done it again

Pup got out today. Same place he nearly hung himself yesterday. He broke the zip ties holding the metal "butts?" on the fence and broke right through.

What breed is he, the big mixed dog you put up a picture of?

Ok, well you don't want to be like my Dad. He never got treated for depression. I talked him into getting a dog hoping he would walk. But the dog was old so they both spent a lot of time sleeping. Dad would get up in the morning, take some pain pills and go back to bed. Then later he would get up to eat breakfast. After lunch he would have a nap. He got so weak and overweight he could barely walk. Ended up dying a week after heart surgery. It was sad.

Sorry, it must have hard to watch your dad go downhill like that.

oh, and I took Tom off everything new to him and today his sugar is coming down and he wasnt dizzy. I will start him back on them one at a time til we run into the problem . except for the prednisone of course.

Very good idea! You sure you didn't go to medical school. You sure do a lot of the work the dr.s are supposed ot be doing.

Nope ! I do however have a fasination for learning about all things medical and my sister who is a nurse and my family who is always sick lead me to researching a lot of things. My sister sent me her nursing book and I had to be taught how to read it . LOL Have you ever seen them ? I went though it so many times.

Yeah, his whole side of the family died from the same thing. I really regret not seeing him before he died. My moving truck came to our house in TN the same day he died. The bad thing is I had no idea how demented Mom had become over the years. We thought we were going to live in our house but ended up in her house because she could not be left alone. So we lived out of boxes for a year.

Well I am sure he might have thought we didn't care , which is probably the case with my brother. We did move away from FL to escape the heat. But we called frequently and I would email daily. He was a party person so when he had to quit calling square dances and traveling, there were few parties. His best friend there died and he got very depressed. Seemed like he was waiting to die. Did not try to seek help, or even help himself. You have to fight depression, it is not going to go away with just a pill. Fight back. Clean up. You will be proud if you do it! You can do it!
