i'm back.
we left denver this morning about 8:40am and got back to albuquerque at 3PM. not bad time. anyway, it sucks because we had to leave puck in denver because she needs surgery but can't get it done until monday. she should be ready to come home by wednesday or thursday. me and my mom are going to drive out there and get her. vrcc, where puck had her appointment, is the best place in the world. the best people, and the best everything a pet could need. basically puck's appointment went good. yes, surgery is scarey, but we were facing anything from tumors to something that would only keep degenerating...with nothing they could do to help. so, on thursday she had her appointment with dr. lane (the best person ever). on friday she had her mri and he let us know that puck has a couple problems in her spinal cord in the region of her neck. she needs surgery or they will get worse and worse and take away her ability to walk. she is getting the surgery done and i couldn't be happier. but i can't even begin to explain how much i miss her. we spent last night with her in denver and left this morning. my dad really had to get back. i miss her. the only comfort i have is the people there are amazing. they will take great care of her. she made so many friends. dr. lane told me, "somebody is going to steal her...she's such an angel, everybody loves her." - when i asked him if she was going to hate me for leaving her alone these few days.
besides that denver is amazing. i don't mean so much in the whole albuquerque sucks i want out kinda way. i mean it felt good to be cut out of life back here. no internet, no phone calls (except for to tim and my mom), no worries about things back here (besides missing my boys to pieces). it was the best thing that could ever happen to me. getting away from abq. is probably the one thing that could help me more than anything...long term. and, having vrcc right there in the same town...the best thing ever.
