Facebook is killing my blog

My ability to post facebook status updates three times a day has totally killed my desire to blog.

But, I can't just leave that weepy post about Sugar sitting here at the top of the page. Sugar's doing alright for now. She had three tumors removed from her leg last Monday. Yes, in the week between me finding them and taking her in for surgery, another tumor appeared. Not good. The vet wasn't sure she was able to get all of the tumors during the surgery. One was deep, and one was undefined and looked like it might have infiltrated her lymphatic system. Not good. We're still waiting to get the pathology reports back, to find out exactly what kind of cancer we're dealing with. I've gotten the names of two vets in Boise that someone I trust, trusts. I'm not comfortable with my vet anymore, so depending on what the test results are, I might be taking Sugar down to the valley for treatment. Sugar's godmother has offered to underwrite her care, which is taking all kinds of stress away from the situation. I couldn't afford to do all of this for her myself.

I've set up Sugar in the guest room, which is driving Freckles insane. Freckles really needs a companion, but Sugar needs a quiet and safe place to recuperate. And they both need me. It's wrenching. But it makes me really glad I didn't get a dog this fall when I was feeling the fever to collect another pet. I think two animals per human is all a household should really hold.
