Both these are one time shots. They didnt seem to sting.
Still praying for you & Gretta and your Dad while we're at it.

Well this is the route I'm taking now. I am very ... I forgot. I feel like I can not say anything negative because of all the stories on this forum of fighters. Who I admire so much. I'm doing the best I can. I am a fighter but I also see the other side from working at the vet clinic. I do not and will not let Gretta suffer or put her through test after test. I just keep telling her I need a little time and rides in the truck to figure it out. Then she started eating.

Minelson..I think I understand what you are saying. And ya know what? That is fine. If it's her time to go..she will. IF not..she won't. Do what you can comfortably do for her. Honestly, I could not put her through a bunch of tests. But that's just me. I also could not stick her with a bunch of shots..again, that's just me. I could however..give her hugs and kisses, laugh when she makes you happy, enjoy every minute you are with her. If she likes molasses and it helps her .. great. But I don't think I would fight with her at all. But, I am a different sort..I don't think I'm weak..I just think that I do what I can do..it always seems like the animal tells me when enough is enough. Crazy, huh?

I'm thinkin' of ya.

I feel like Gretta will guide me. Or at least let me practice hit ans miss with her! She wants corn chips. And hay...all good..
