So, where to begin...
Monday afternoon Reggie (my Yorkie) went outside to potty while the kids were out playing. He didn't come back within his normal time frame, so I kept calling him and went driving to his normal hangouts. I had no luck, and went to bed with a heavy mind. The next morning I woke and went to let the other doggies out to go potty, when low and behold there is Reggie shaking at the door. I let him go warm himself under the bed for awhile, and when I went to check on him he was ill and in pain. At closer inspection I could feel his lung was between his skin and ribs. You could feel every breath in great detail and hear the gurgling from all the blood inside. I called the Vet and rushed him in right away. The Vet confirmed my thoughts, and said the outcome was dreary but there is always a chance. So I had to leave him there for the next few days to let him stable out and determine what, if anything, could be done.
So I left in a tizzy, drove to the Post Office and home. I walk in the house and go to the sink to wash my hands. I am in the middle of washing my hands when I notice, "HOLY FRICKEN' CRAP MY WEDDING RING IS GONE!!" I ask outloud in a sarcastic voice, "are you fricken' kidding me?" Nope. I call and leave my number at the Post Office, the Vet office, and everywhere else in the world. For the next 2 days I tear my house apart from bottom to top, look in every knook and cranny, and through everything I possibly can. Nope, no ring. I am sick to my stomach and my blood pressure is sky high. Today, Wednesday, I get a phone call at 4:45pm from the Post Office, she explains that someone has found a ring in the shrubs by the walkway and the people want me to call with a description. Could it be? I sure hope so! What are the odds? So I call this number and describe to the lady what my ring looks like, and she says "sounds perfect, looks like it's your's". I say can I come and get it? Where do you live? She starts to tell me and I say, "I think you live across the street from me". Yep, it was my nieghbor. Oh, thank the Lord!!
Reggie still has a few more days of observation and diagnosis though, so I hope it is good news for him too.
I will keep you updated...
