No more fetch for Kira

Well, I feel horrible for my dog, Kira. This dog LIVES for fetch. I'm a firm beleiver that she would eventually die with a tennis ball in her mouth. She just loves to run. But shortly after moving in here, we went out to play fetch, and a few hours later she could barely hold wait on her right leg. I immediatly panicked ( paniced? panic-ed? >.>) and thought " oh no, her hips are starting to go!". I didn't even put two and two together with the ball thing, till later. i set up a vet appointment, in case she did something really wrong, like popped out her hip, or fractured it. SHe is an old dog... but the next day she was walking better and by the third or fourth day she was fine, so i cancelled the appt, thinking she wretched it. Cause, well, she slides and twists all over the place after that ball! I've seen her do somersaults in her younger days LOL! But i decided to break from playing fetch just to give her time to recuperate and all that. but anyway fast forward a month and half, to yesterday. it was incredibly nice, and almost warm, so we went out to burn some of that energy off, and lo and behold, a few hours later she's limping. It makes me so sad to think we can't do the one thing she loves the most in this world, except maybe me ;)I dunno, its hard to come to terms with her getting older. She'll be nine in june, i beleive, which isn't horrible old, but this year was hard on her as far as health. But here's to hoping for many more healthy years yet.


Also on a side note. My car was fixed, but i had that all to well known womens curse happen. It makes a noise for me that sounded like parts of my wheels were dropping out, but noone else but my mother hears it O.o. but there was something that needed fixed, a wheel bearing, or something of that nature. Also it made it to Syracuse, and back without killing us all! But i'm a paranoid fool, and now i swear every creek and rattle it makes, i swear its the car plotting to blow up on me >.>;;

Obviously the computer is fixed also, but slowly but surely other things are blowing up on me. I swear everything mechanical, or electronical ( a word? i think not but i like it anyway!) gets a memo the minute Jonny steps out of the country. who is this memo maker, and where can i maim him at! anywho but its working for the time being. so yay for that at least.

oh and from teh oncologyst we're just waiting on a biopsy result to find out how the hormone therapy is working. If all goes well, i'll be able to start trying for kids again in october! which is just perfect considering jonny will be home in November!!!! anywho thats it in a nutshell. <3
