I have been a stress case all week. Our bulldog, Lucy, was pregnant with 3-5 puppies. I took her in for a checkup on Monday and the Dr. said she had lost all the puppies and had a horrible infection in her uterus. It was so severe it could take her life if it wasn't treated properly. This news was especially hard on me. Monday was the day we found out we are having a boy (!!!), but it was the day I received this horrible news. It was hard for me to be happy knowing her life is at risk. I have become really attached to Lucy. She and Bruno are my little pals. I had to leave Lucy at the vet because they had to do emergency surgery before the infection spreads to the rest of her body.
It has been 5 days and Lucy is still at the vet. Her procedures went well and she is on the long road to recovery. I'm pretty sure I have never cried/prayed/stressed so much than during the past 5 days. I am so anxious to bring her home next week!
Quick story...
I woke up on the wrong side of the bed and was a grump all morning. I quickly ran to the post office to drop off some packages (we have a little business through eBay), and when I came home, Chad was gone.
Where would he go? We had no plans today.
His phone went to voicemail. This made my blood boil. Why wouldn't he answer his phone?
Seconds later, he is pulling into the garage holding a dozen roses. "These are for you. You mean the world to me. I love you!"
My eyes got teary (I blame it all on the pregnancy hormones ;) How does a grouch like me deserve this?
If you've ever met Chad, one of the first things you'll notice is how calm, sincere, and sweet he is. He never complains and is always thinking of others before himself. This sweet little act of kindness completely changed my perspective. It made me realize how easy it is to get caught up in our own little stresses and problems in life. I need to focus more on others and forget about myself. Sorry for my little soap-box moment, but I'm just so grateful for a loving husband and best friend!!
