Granny's gone and done it again

[Granny Hatchet]

Brought my big boy in for a bit tonight for some holding and talking time. He sat perfectly still and acted like he understood every word. He was really happy about the selfie I took but he didn't try and make a break for it. He is a beast and not 7 months old yet. I've got to get him outside in good light for this so his gorgeous colors will come out right.

I'm super impressed with Cynthia's beta fish. So pretty. Those seem to be fairly easy keepers.

Star breeding those shrimp is impressive as well. Do you know how hard that is? I tried for a couple years.

Tom still have one in his room?

nope, his has been gone for a while. He didnt want to feed them.

Did Pi have to spend the night at the vets? She didnt like this vet and the first thing the vet said to me was We dont have emergency vet here. So what am I supposed to do if something goes south? I cant drive to KY. Louisville er vet there.

They wanted him too, but I said no. It was a very small risk that the grapes would cause trouble and frankly it was just too expensive. Would have added $1500 to the already exorbitant emergency bill. Pi was in a treatment room without me for a couple hrs, and I know it was stressful for him, but he survived, no ill effects.
He won't follow any stranger into a strange room. Even with the vet I really like, I had to give Pi a little shove from behind to get him moving into the back room for a blood draw. Vet wanted to be sure it wasn't heartworms causing his heart murmur.
If something goes south... ? Odds are very good that your healthy young dog will weather the spay procedure just fine. But we know that bad things happen sometimes. Risk is just part of life. There's risk if you don't get her spayed. There's risk if you drove all the way to a big city where they have emergency care.
You can't dwell on the risk because it never ever goes away.
Instead, focus on positive thinking...  Will the happy outcome you desire. Send out some prayers. Imagine the future with happy Fawn in your lives. I do believe in the power of positive thinking... good vibes keep the bad vibes away.

Magnificent creature, and he's not even full grown, is he?
Does he have a name? Sitting on your lap inside the house makes him a pet in my book, and pets get a name.

Both?

no just the 40 gal with 3 fish left.

Yes, it's a terrible habit. Exactly what I've been suffering from myself lately. Fell into a deep pit of worry. Clawing my way out by focusing on blessings, which are all around and all too often taken for granted.
