I was calmed by a puppy
This morning was a stressful time for me, at least in my mind. It was the last big test in my quest for a diagnosis. I even took 1 mg of Lorazepam to try and calm my nerves. Last Friday I took 3mg to try and help with my claustrophobia in having to be in the MRI machine for 55 minutes. I was a tad loopy for a bit once that test was over.
Just as we parked today and walked along the sidewalk an 11 week old teeny tiny miniature dachshund bound out of a car right over our feet and proceeded to scamper down the sidewalk. I managed to call it back. Turns out that the puppy had just pooped and peed all over the lovely leather seats 🙂 The fellow only picked up the dog 5 days ago and it was obvious he had no idea how to deal with a puppy.
Sukki ( my spelling ) was so very sweet and relaxed in Colin’s arms. She is a chocolate color with one tiny white patch on her belly.
The owner was in a dither trying to clean the mess in his car. He was using a tiny napkin. Colin handed me the dog ( I dropped my purse and jacket on the sidewalk in a heartbeat ) while he pulled three dog poo bags out of his pocket. We are always prepared. Then the owner asked us to look after Sukki while he looked for a garbage can. None to be found. So Colin showed him how to double wrap and the tie the bag, lift his truck and stick in the knotted end under the closed trunk so that the stinky stuff hung outside the car.
She was just the sweetest little girl who peppered my nose and face with delicious puppy breath kisses.
Within moments I had fallen in love and I wanted this cutie. Her toe nails needed clipping and she needed a toy. Who buys a puppy a huge Kong? It was obvious the fellow had no idea how to handle a small puppy. He planned to walk the dog down the sidewalk but had no leash. How can you not have a leash for your new puppy who needs to get out and do its business? Shortly after I put Sukki down she did her go in a circle routine and peed. I explained the signs to him and told him to praise her for doing her thing. I gave him some other obvious pointers but we had to rush in for my appointment. Not more then five minutes later he came into the same office with Sukki. Turns out he was waiting for his step son. He asked me if I would please hold her. Duh, of course. She calmed in my arms and once again gave me lots of puppy love. He and the step son were way over on the other side of the office doing something when I was called into my appointment. I had to go find them to return Sukki but I was so very tempted to keep her. Colin and I both thought that she was very sweet and contemplated getting a puppy for the girls but the time is not right for us. Maybe in ten years or so.
With my mind filled with puppy cuddles and puppy kisses, I was undressed and prepped for a biopsy. The freezing hurt a bit but I had Colin’s fingers to squeeze as I listened to him chat about getting a new puppy. He was distracting me. Soon it was over.
My doctor ended up doing two biopsy’s. Now we wait for two weeks for the results. I have a great team around me, she is specifically asking for the best pathologist to do the tests.
Thanks to a run in with a weiner puppy, my test was much less stressful. However the freezing is now coming out and it hurts. Colin had asked her what to do if I had pain, she smiled and said to have some wine. Now that is my kind of doctor 😳

What a cute weiner puppy , and it just happened to run into the most knowledgable weiner people.
Oh, that is a cute puppy!! Hope that guy gets a clue…. AND hope you only have good news!!!!
Well the timing of that puppy love couldn’t have been better. Enjoy the wine and stay out of the sun… I hope all will be well.
What a sweet puppy. I think dogs are one of the most soothing animals, hubby has anxiety and the dog does wonders. Only time will tell but you are in my thoughts for your tests – fingers and toes still crossed.
