Just to recap my week last week:
Tuesday: Skanky disappeared, presumed dead.
Wednesday: Harper fell off bed, large lump on her head, had to be monitored for 24 hours (by monitored, I mean I had to wake her up though out the night to make sure she was not, you know, dieing of a head injury.)
Thursday: Due to his fear of thunder storms, he dog chewed a HUGE hot spot on his back. Constantly asking me to scratch his open wound.
Friday: Found a gray hair.
Saturday: Forgot I let the dog out. He was found on a near by highway by a very compassionate, even if unhappy, Mercedes driver who let our 80 lbs. open wound dog in his car.
And all week Skylar was saying, "Oh, baby. Next week will be wonderful." And I'm thinking, I can't sleep without my cat, my aging gray hair is only the beginning of the end, and I am never ever going to scratch his wound no matter how many times this dog asks me.
Then today, Harper and the dog and I were playing in the back yard. Harper wanted to play in the neighbor's yard, because they have more concrete. We have no fence, so we followed her. There we are, all enjoying the vast driveway. I turn to my right, and there, laying on a bag of mulch, is SKANKY!
SPANKY LIVES!
I thought I was hallucinating at first, but it is true! She is here! We go back to the vet in the morning for more tests. Keep your fingers crossed.
We have no idea where she was for the last 6 crazy rainy days, and true to form, she is not telling. Oh, and Skylar was right. If last week was the worst ever, today was the best day ever ever, ever ever.
Oh Mary! I am so happy for you! I was laughing so hard from this post! A gray hair - really?!!? I am so happy that Skanky - I mean Spanky is home safe and sound. See you on Wednesday?
