Life Interrupted
I've been noticing on several blogs that people are apologizing for being so busy and not blogging. I can totally commiserate.Life is full, especially if like me, you think being lazy is doing only three things at once.
I try to get things done as quickly as possible because I BELIEVE in Murphy's Law. What can go wrong, will go wrong. The more I can do now will give me more time to take care of life's inevitable emergencies.
Emergencies ALWAYS show up, and sometimes they're dire.
Though I've done some time in Purgatory recently, my troubles have been mild compared to the hell two of my friends are enduring now.
Being a friend, means that you share their trouble. Last night, we spent nearly two hours in traffic trying to reach one of my friends. All we could do was offer emotional support while her poor dog underwent a blood transfusion in an emergency room. We hope to know more today. Meanwhile, I am on research duty, trying to find out more about two of the probable causes for her illness and potential treatments.
So to all of you who regret not being able to blog as regularly as you should, don't beat yourself up. It's more important to embrace life than talk about it.
Wish my friend luck on her poor little dog. They've got a real fight ahead of them.

You're so right that living life, being there for friends and family, is so much more important than a blog post.
I hope to know more by tonight.
I'm so sorry for her. We really do love our fur-babies and it's a bit like losing a limb when they go. I found out last night that one of the ladies in agility just lost her 12 y.o. whippet very suddenly and she's devastated.
Give her hugs from me and mine. We're pulling for her.
My friend's little dog is still weak, but the transfusion seemed to help. The next step is to keep her body from killing off any more red blood cells.
She's a little trooper and her mama will move heaven and earth to give her every chance.
We've been down this road before. We know.
Thanks for so many good wishes.
