Poor Sadie. Poor Bailey and me too but poor Sadie. My heart just breaks for her. Yesterday I had bathed her and when I did I noticed that she was covered in fleas and ticks. I thought about shaving her as I knew I would never find all the ticks but I was worried about her not dealing with the shaving concept well. A friend graciously offered to loan me the money to take her to the groomer and they shampooed her and shaved her for me. Now of course I can see all the sore itchy spots of which there are many but the ticks are dead and mostly gone. Poor baby looks pathetic though.
This morning I took her to the vet for a check up and that of course cost me an arm and a leg. I'm hoping that most of the labs etc come out ok and that the medicine I got helps. Thankfully they gave something for itching and she already seems to be more comfortable. I think I may be living on protein shakes for the next few weeks as I may be completely broke after the vet bills. Bailey is staying with my friend for the weekend at least. She did have a little laceration in her mouth and last night her lip was a little swollen. She also was really scared of Sadie. Sadie so far seems unbothered by the cats thankfully. Hopefully that will continue. About 10pm last night I realized I hadn't eaten at all yesterday (I did have 2 protein shakes during the day) and I finally had some peanut butter on toast. This morning I'm down like 5 pounds since Wednesday. Not exactly the weight loss plan I want to use and I know I need to eat healthy foods as well as my shakes. The funny thing is that in all my stress yesterday the thing I seemed to crave the most was soda. I wanted a diet pepsi or Dr. Pepper so dang bad. No I didn't have one though.
So that's where everything is right now. Still up in the air a bit as far as what might be going on with Sadie. I just want to try and relax and pamper Sadie a bit over the weekend.
I find it very ironic that at the bottom of my blog, like less than 2 weeks ago, I had posted that I missed Sadie but knew she was better off where she was. If I had only known.

Please email a physical address for Bailey and Sadie. Lola, Stanley and Elvis would like to help their doggie bretheren. It is a great thing you are doing..
Its funny Michell, I was just going to ask if you have paypal set up so I can send you some doggy biscuits and maybe some human ones and I see that the person before me is thinking the same way. Please let me know if you do have Paypal so I can shoot you some funds or send me your address so I can do it. I know you probably don't want it but I remember my first parcel I received from my bloggy friends all the way from the US and guess who it came from??? YOU.
You're a good woman, my friend. ((hugs))
Poor baby! I hope she feels better soon and you don't have to spend any more money!
You are such a good person my dear. Can I help in any way?
She look well on her way to good health to me. Hang in there. Hoping all the kids get along eventually.
