Just that support is so helpful. that OHMYGOSH DO I NEED TO WORRY NOW???? feeling is just soo strong. For instance -- last night when I was getting everbuddy ready to go down to see Jed (FOXY gets the massage, but all 3 go and get walks around the lake with Dad who meets us there, then they get cuddles from Jed and attention from the whole rest of the world as they go by -- MAJOR MAJOR FAVORITE TIME for all of them) I'm looking at Foxy's mouth in the dim living room light and ... WHOA ... do those gums look pale? and is it too 'red' as inflamed sorta red around that one tooth? Am I nightmaring?? I couldn't see well enough (and handle 3 dogs, leashes, general MOMITS TOO WET TO GO OUT HERE hissy fits and such) so as I happened to be on the phone with David at the moment I said "I'm gonna have JED look at this!" David was silent and said "why Jed? He's not a vet -- if you think this looks bad we need to go to the vet TOMORROW with that!! White gums can be BAD!!" (says my calm-cool-collected-staid-Scots-husband) I said "Frankly, because I can't see it well enough INSIDE anyway, it will be well lit down there and Jed will give me a sanity check!! I'm not sure I trust myself after the last few weeks not to panic!!" Got down there, and Jed and I looked first thing -- THEY ARE FINE. I was just not in good enough light to see. Absolutely NOTHING wrong. But had I not had Jed look too I would have doubted myself. And no -- *grin* -- David would never look. My husband, staid tho he is, has the WEAKEST stomach on the planet. Mom gives pills, Dad does walks. Proper marital division of labor LOL.
