Emotional Day...

We ended up taking Mack to the surgeon at 3:30 today and found out that he needs surgery. Yes we kind of figured this before we even went...but there is something about them telling you what they are going to do and everything that makes it real. Plus when they told us how much it was going to cost...which is twice what we thought it would be, we were needless to say in a little shock.

I mean the timing just plain old sucks. The baby could be here any day now and Mack really needs the surgery and spending that amount of money is tough knowing that I will be off of work for 12 weeks. Yes I will be getting paid for most of it, but not knowing what we will be needing to pay for the baby and all is hard.

We are dropping Mack off tomorrow at 7:30am and he will have the surgery tomorrow and then we will pick him up on Thursday. My parents are taking Tucker and Chloe until the baby arrives so that we can concentrate on taking care of Mack and getting him as better as possible before the baby gets here. So that will help a lot, since they all like to play so much and it would be really hard to keep them all apart. So if Mack can get one good week of relaxation and recooperation in, then that will be good.

I guess it is a blessing that the baby has decided to take its time in coming. Now I am really hoping to make it until next Thursday so that I can get everything taken care of around here and at least have Mack back on a routine and getting better.

Oh and another thing that has come out of this is I am sending my new camera back. We really no longer have the money to spend on something like that so even though the FedEx man came by today to deliver it, I won't even be opening it...just sending it back. Of course that makes me sad, but you have to make some sacrifices in life and this is one I have to make. One day I'll get my camera...today is just not my day.

Tomorrow will be tough worrying about Mack. But I know he'll be better soon enough and this is what he needs. I am banking on a tough week in all coming up. But with all good outcomes. A healthy pup and a new baby.

Now off to try to get some sleep.
