hope everyone had a good weekend. Deuce is still in the hospital and i'm just sitting, waiting on the pups to start showing symptoms of Parvo (which, Jenny swears she didn't give them...i'm not so sure...i mean, really, how many humans get parvo??) i have already decided that when if they start showing the symptoms, and they do indeed have it, i'm going to have them put to sleep. i know. it's a crappy decision. honestly though, i've been looking for homes for them, so it's not like i was planning on keeping them, and the biggest deciding factor is the fact that the parvo treatment runs somewhere along the lines of $1500 per dog. last time i checked, my tree was only shedding leaves, no cash to be found. i just can't afford it. the vet tells me Chablis is probably going to be fine, damn! (kidding...sort of) but that the pups are probably just sitting ducks. so, i sit. and wait. i just don't get it...Deuce and Harley were both vaccinated. Why did one get Parvo and not the other!? Why the hell did he get parvo in the first place!?
in other, crappy news, another friend of the family passed away friday. Bill worked for my Papa, detailing cars, at the car lot when i was a kid. i remember he was a tall skinny man who worked and smoked constantly. he never slowed down. he trained Pepper (papa's car lot dog), kept the cars pristine, and always had a hug and a smile for me. he was an awesome cook and gardener - always bringing us something yummy to eat. my favorite was his homemade bread. oh man...i could have lived on that stuff. his house was always one of our stops on halloween and he always had a special treat for my little cousin and me. he was precious. i don't remember now why he quit working for papa...i think it had something to do with money and the fact that bill was probably just getting tired. but he still brought bread and cookies. still had a smile and a hug for us all... the last time i saw him was at papa's funeral. i thought then how much older and frail he looked. i'll go to his funeral today, alone. most of my family went to the visitation last night, i just don't consider it the same. it will be in the same place papa's funeral was, i haven't been there since. it will be interesting to see how i handle it...
