Stinky had to stay last night at the vet. I went and saw her yesterday when I got off of work. She was doing O.K. I hugged and gave her lots of kisses. The vet is going to do the biopsy today. I will do some research on these diets. If everything goes good Stinky will get to come home tomorrow. She is just so weak I just hope she makes it through the surgery. The vet told me yesterday that she is a fighter and she is. I am doing so so. It is so hard to try to work and not cry. I guess I feel like as long as I have her I still have a part of my brother. I keep telling myself maybe it is time for her to go be with him now. The vet told me to call today around 3 to see how everything went. Everytime the phone rings I worry that it might be him with bad news. Thanks for telling me about the diets.
