and i'm back

i started this mostly to share my experience of the last year and some dealing with my pup's Addison's disease, in the hope that someone else just beginning the journey might find an easier path, or at least a path that has a few signposts. becoming a caretaker has given me so many gifts, like the ability to wake at 3am perfectly coherent and able to drive like a bat out of hell to the vet, safely. and a patience i never had on my own. and love, such love for my sweet pup and wanting to protect her from nasty bacteria and feeling crappy and getting messy. and knowing i will take. you. out. if you Try to hurt her. the ferocity of motherhood has manifested in my breast and I am Changed. i was not lucky enough to have my very own babes, but that enormous love is still there, and it slops out of the bucket sometimes on unsuspecting passers-by. I just hope it doesn’t stain.

i will post my journal of the last year. she's ok now, darned fine actually, with a few things still to be learned by her humans, but we're a stubborn lot and will hang in there until we've got things just so. she's just too freaking squooshy and adorable not to.
