I have not posted in awhile and I need to know what you think? As alot of you know I am presently go though cancer treatment and last Monday I have neck surgery. I am not sure if I can care for Sal at this time. My sister has offered to care for him until I get better. What should I do? |
I am so sorry. Is your sister a good pet sitter? Praying for you and your little one. |
I hope you are feeling better soon! I had a hysterectomy in November. I never would've been able to take care of her while I was down if it wasn't for help. She loves to snuggle and we spent a lot of time on the couch, but I still needed help with feed/water/exercise. If you trust your sister with Sal, I'd let her take care of him for a little while. Take it on a day-by-day basis if you need to. I'm sure Sal will miss you, but think of all the kisses you'll get when you're back together! Take care! |
I think that's sweet of your sister to offer. Doyou have some reservations about letting her for some reason? Does she have other animals there? Other family members besides herself? I understand your feeling...it's like we don't feel anyone can care for our babies as we do. Maybe you can let her keep him for a couple days prior to Monday to see how it goes. I hope it works out for you so you don't have to worry...you have enough to concentrate on. I wish you the best on your surgery and pray for a speedy and full recovery..:) |
You need to let her care for Sal ! Rest and get better!!! I'm sure she will bring him over for visits. He needs mom 100% Good luck with your neck surgery! |
It is very nice of her to be able to sit your Sal. Unless there are reasons that you do not think it is a good idea, I would do it. As someone said, she could bring him for visits. Best of luck and here's to a quick recovery. |
I agree with the others.... let your sister babysit so you can concentrate on getting better so Sal has his mommy back full time and healthy! Good luck on your surgery! |
It takes a strong person to go through what you are now going through, and don’t forget that. You may be doubting yourself right now, and thinking that maybe you should let your sister take care of Sal. But there are a few questions I would ask myself. Like, how will this make Sal and I feel, how will this effect Sal and I? I think pets are sort of a gift from god. They are always there for you when you’re feeling down, when you’re sick or when you just need some hugs and kisses! If your sister is willing to take Sal, why don’t you see if she will just stop by and make sure everything’s okay. It may be a bit tough since you just had surgery, and you may need a bit more help then normal. But in the long run I think you just might feel better keeping Sal with you. This is just my opinion. Good luck in whatever you decide to do. :) |

So sorry your not feeling well :( I'm sure your sister will do fine. You need to think about yourself. |
Thanks To answer a few questions my sister lives about 7 hours away for me. She has two other very large dogs in their home My sister is planning to make the trip very soon. I have decide that to let Sal go for awhile. We have told her that we will pay for all Sal needs and provide any extra things that he may need. So thank you again, Cathi |
Cathi think this through slowly. With Sal 7 hrs away from you are you going to be worrying constantly if he is alright? That will not be good for you. Having cancer you have to have things to fight for. Sal might be good for you unless you have no one else who can walk him or let him out. I am thinking about your health if you let him go and worry all the time. That stress is not good for you. I hope it all works out fine and I hope you are feeling better real soon. Hugs, Sue |

Good luck with your decision and I hope you are well again soon. |
Forgot to add my Dad has lung cancer. We almost lost him. He lived alone with his 2 dogs. As he recovered some in nursing home we brought his dogs to visit him and what a difference in him. They were so happy to see him finally. Dad was really glad to see them too and could not wait to get well enough to go home to them. Now he is home with his 2 dogs again needing very little help. While he was gone my husband and I went over several times a day to let his dogs out. Take care and do get well soon. Sue |
Cathi, Hi, I've missed seeing your posts. I had no idea you had cancer. I will add you to my prayer list. I'm wondering if you have a friend or family member closer to you that could keep Sal that is used to him and/or small dog needs. That way the friend could bring Sal to visit when you're up to it. Good therapy for both of you. Or do you have someone or a couple different people who could come over and help with exercise, etc. for Sal? A neighbor perhaps |
I'm sorry your ill, and will pray for you. As long as your sis is good with dogs I'd let her help you out. Best wishes. |
I will keep you in my prayers. Is there anyone closer who can help you keep her with you? |
cathy Blessings and speed in your recovery. Do what you need to but have daily visits with your baby. I am a psychologist - people relax and recover faster with love, and these little ones love us. Just make sure someone else is doing play time and the nitty gritty. You need cuddle time and kisses. Kimberly and Lily |
without bailee i dont think i could make it thru what a terrible ordeal you are facing,prayers for your speedy recovery...maybe you could get an automatic feeder and water and that would cut down on time it takes to feed?and yorkies do well with little excercise,maybe a caring neighbor could come by once a week or so and take him out to get some fresh air? im sure you are facing some hospital time so maybe a local boarder would give you a deal given you situation and you could board him when you will be in the hospital?just sum ideas, i would NEED my bailee at a time like that... |

I would not let your sister take your dog, thats just to far and you will need this baby while you heal. also if shes has two large dogs that would not be safe for your little one. I hope you can get someone to come over once in awhile and help you out. |
Thank you all. I have no other choose but to let my sister take him. I will be not be able to keep him right now. I have no help right now. My husband is leaving on travel due to his job and our son is in Columbia at the University of South Carolina. So my best solution is to let my sister have him until my husband returns. |

I will keep you all in my prayers. |
I think you are doing the right thing. You need rest and tranquility..God Bless you and your sis will take great care of your pup.... |
This is just my opinion but 7 hours is far & whenever someone is sick here Precious will lay next to them the WHOLE time (except to potty & eat). Animals make people feel better & they are part of the family they care about their people! I'm sure your dog would be willing to put up with a little less care for a few weeks, months, whatever your recovery time is & probably wants to be with YOU! I think it would make you feel better to have your furbaby with you. Dogs are very resiliant & I'm sure she won't mind that you are the "perfect" mom for a little while. You might miss her too much & that wouldn't be good for you either. I'm wishing you a speedy recovery.:getwellso:getwell: MOMMY TO PRECIOUS:aimeeyork |
