Things kinda went sour this Christmas. A few days ago I had to take Eddy to the vet. He scratches himself badly. No fleas. I bought him his 3rd Depomedrol shot in 3 months, a steroid anti-imflammatory drug. But this time the vet drew blood to send off to be tested for whatever he is allergic too(a very thorough expensive test with foreshadowing for more costs later). This broke the bank for Christmas. Last night I spent the night at a freinds house who has a female Shih-tzu. Although only out-weighing Eddy buy 1/2 a pound, she's very aggressive, bites his ears, bullies him. Yet they have moments of sweetness too. I came home this morning and noticed a HUGE(for a little 14.3 LB dog) area of purple bordering on black skin on his chest. Obviously a huge bruise(blood under skin). I wonder.......did the female shih tzu F him up while we were out shopping, did he fall? All I know is he is 2yo in the prime of life. Yet seems SO fragile now compared to a year ago, so fragile. He's eating OK and no change in behaviour, yet I protect him like the holy grail. I love him like nothing else on Earth, yet he is financially crippling me. Perhaps in April, when I move again(if Eddy permits the finances to do so), he will be in an environment that is more conducive to his well-being....Well, my well-being was the idea. Oh well, enough depression. It's just, I wanted this new faster PC(and my optical drive died). I spent that on the vet. But just like with a child.....he comes first. I sure am looking forward to January. Look in on you tubes soon. Pray for little Eddy. We're all we've got. I cancelled my own check-up with my human Dr. to cover this. Glad I did.

Yeah that was pretty much the feeling Wiga,and I don`t even like turkey.To be honest I think I`d probably prefer Caveman`s quorn option there..Luckily for me though we nearly always have either beef or pork..Or chicken you know,it seems to suffice the rest of the year,and then all of a sudden we`re eating turkey for some reason?Let`s face it,it`s like chicken but not as good.
