Neb's Journal

Okay, Kradam people, I'm interested in seeing if I can write some drabbles....or drabble like fics, because let's face it, this is me...so give me some one word prompts! (Yeah, one word. You read that right. LOL.) Once I've got 25, that'll be it.

So, yes, that could mean you could give me multiple words. ^_^

And.......GO!

Another Monday, another chapter. This one is very much a set-up chapter, so be prepared for lots of action later this week!

( Pity Us, We Wakeful (Chapter Ten) )

Sunday November 8 started fine. 3 happy silly Flat-Coats were playing. Then 10 year old Flyer fell over with a Grand Mal seizure. It stopped; she seemed okay. The vet said to bring her in the next day. That night, she had 2 more seizures; after the last one she was blind, disoriented, and weak.

They took blood; analyzed some there and sent the rest off for more specialized testing. We started her on phenobarb and prednisone to stop the seizures and prayed the lab would find an infection we could treat. Otherwise it would be a brain tumor, not uncommon in an older Flattie.

Over the week, she got weaker. Friday morning she woke us at 4AM with a seizure. She had another at 6:30 and yet another was starting at 7:15 when we arrived at the vet's office. That afternoon, the lab results came in. No infection. No hope for recovery. We gave her that last shot that sent her to the Rainbow Bridge.

She was the best dog I've ever had in 50+ years of living with multiple dogs. She was always willing to go anywhere, to try anything. She was my primary motivation to come back from my stroke in 2005. She needed her human to be able to take her places and do things with her.

Flyer has been gone almost a week now and our household just seems...wrong. Penny and Giddy are very subdued; Earl and I cry a lot. We miss her more than words can express.
