A Stretch

What a stretching weekend! After this weekend I think back on my Old Testament class in College when we were studying the book of Job. My prof said that God only stretches you as far as you can be stretched. I really hope that is true because looking towards the future and what I might have to face, kind of scares me a little. Though I try to only focus on today, it’s hard not to sometimes wonder. I won’t go into detail about my experience and you may not understand unless you have a dog of your own, but here is a shortened version: My little Will was neutered last Wed and had what I thought a basic surgery that most dogs get. Well let me get the jokes out of the way before I keep going with my story… "I’d be crazy too, I’d be missing them, I’d really be hurting"… ok so something wasn’t quite right. He started acting nuts and freaking out and hiding under the couch and chairs and was crying non-stop for three days. Well after going to the vet again and having him call my dog a cry baby (not going back there again) we brought him home and he wasn’t himself at all. It killed me! I wish I had appendicitis and was in the hospital with an iv having my parents bring a happy Will to cheer me up. So we went to another vet and he said Will was traumatized by the whole experience. It was really scary and it is going to take him a while to recover. My family was really stressed out and we didn’t have any sleep. And to top it off it was my b-day and I ended up spending the day with my baby on the couch. This is just a dog! What if it was a person!!!??? Anyways this really taught me how to cope and to try to breath through the whole thing. On a side note I had an awesome time at a Jazz Club for my b-day.
