It Never Rains, It Pours!!

When it rains, it bloody pours.. it's bad enough that I'm still paying off my scooter, I had hoped to get my yard done so I no longer had to deal with grass, on top of everything else, now Cleo Spirit needs an operation!

I noticed her limping earlier this morning. I just thought she pulled a muscle again, and was being a baby about it. Anyway at lunchtime, her limp changed from her front leg to back leg, I told her, "Cleo, now you're being funny!"

But shortly after, I noticed she wasn't bearing weight on one of her back legs. Again, thought it was age related injury.. you know, jumped off the chair, landed the wrong way… so I did a joint check, knee, hip both still in position.

So then the 'excitement' test. You know the one, get the dog excited and they soon forget the injury if they're faking it. So I ask her if she wants to go for a scooter ride, and there she is dancing on 3 legs trying to avoid giving her 4th leg any work! 

She's not faking it!! F$%&!!!

So I pray to God that Merrylands vet will look at her despite me not having any money till next week, thankfully he does, so now I owe him $90 out of my next pension, but that's not the worst of it!

Cleo has a cruciate ligamint injury. She needs an operation that'll cost about $1750!!! F$%&!!!!!!!!!

(In the picture below, it's the back leg facing the camera that's causing her grief.)  😦

Any prophets out there know of any winning lottery numbers for upcoming lotteries?

Methinks Cleo will be limping around on 3 legs relying on pain killers for the next few months. 😦

I just wanna cry.
