My Sunday

Sunday is the day I begin developing most of my stories for the coming week. I owe some people some calls, but they will have to wait. I spent most of the day at an animal hospital with a very sick dog suffering from congestive heart failure. She's been supplied with some medications to help delay the inevitable. She has been having trouble breathing and collapsed yesterday. The vet said she has both a murmur and arrhythmia.

This is why I am starting the week with only one story.

Ironically, I have a murmur and arrhythmia myself, and since my 40s. As most of you know, we bottom-feeding bloggers have no need for useless appendages like a heart. But unlike me, this dog is a sweetie. I hope she's around for a few more years.

    Yo know as much as you bust balls and vice vera I know the love of a pet as we had one that lived 14 years and his sickness and death was devastating. I feel bad hearing this. I hope Suki recovers.

    Bernie, we both have heart failure at our house...of course, we swallow the pills the doctors prescribe, but there are two herbs that can be helpful in heart failure-- one is Hawthorn, or crataegus oxycanthus, and the other is strophantes. We have used the Hawthorn, it comes in a liquid extract in a dropper bottle, for years. Can't hurt to try it, maybe half a dropper for the dog, a whole dropper for the human, in some water or juice. Best wishes for both of you. Cate

You own views are appreciated, especially if they differ from mine. But remember, commenting is a privilege, not a right. I will delete personal attacks or off-topic remarks at my discretion. Comments that play into the tribalism that has consumed this nation will be declined. So will comments alleging voter fraud unless backed up by concrete evidence. If you attack someone personally, I expect you to identify yourself. I will delete criticisms of my comment policy, vulgarities, cut-and-paste jobs from other sources and any suggestion of violence towards anyone. I will also delete sweeping generalizations about mainstream parties or ideologies, i.e. identity politics. My decisions on these matters are made on a case by case basis, and may be affected by my mood that day, my access to the blog at the time the comment was made or other information that isn’t readily apparent.
