Waiting

Oh jiminy, these are hard days.  Emmy was right, it does help to write about it.  My girl lost the use of her back legs yesterday morning and dragged herself out to the living room.  I used a towel as a sling and got her out on the deck, but she couldn't understand why so we came back in.  She spent the day on her pillow/bed and neither ate nor drank and didn't move.  We waited.  We're still waiting.  So as not to leave her, I spent the night in the chair.  If there is anything good, it's that Bess does not appear to be in any pain, and for that I'm grateful.  I need to get back to her now.  She seems to take comfort when I'm near.
