 We all have our inner demons...
As ever thank you all, the summary of advice and good will has really bolstered me this end. She slept well, even if my own slumbers were fitful and tablet induced! This morning (very early) she was licking my face and pawing my nose to wake me up and has peed in her tray too! She was also trying hard to coerce me to take her out for a walk, even bringing her lead and dumping it down in front of me, tail awagging like mad, you can't get more suggestive than that! Now half an hour on, she's sleeping in her little basket again (a favorite haven during this saga by the way). Last night I dreamt about my late mother - auto suggestion (see post above), I suppose. In this very lucid experience, she said very clearly, 'Well dear she's gone through a procedure similar to childbirth and I wasn't too regular for a bit either! How strange, as consciously I would never have conceived the comparison!!!
Yes I'm sure I over-reacted, but my wife is terribly worried and disagreed with my decision from the start. And late at night and perplexed I suppose those dark fears that lurk within us all surfaced. By the way I am a Doctor, but unfortunately in these circumstances my PhD in Economics is of no help! |
