Be Thankful.....

On Wednesday we went to the vet hospital because our dog MUGs could not get up and walk. He was basically paralysed by pain. We had no idea what happened and what was wrong.
We were both sick to our stomach. To watch your dog in pain is a horrible feeling. Since we could not take x-rays till the next morning, we did not know what to do but to pray. To pray that he would be ok and that he would not need surgery. With one bad knee and surgery done just 1 year ago, we weren't sure what to expect.

4PM on Thursday was our scheduled time with Dr. Dobbs to talk about MUGS' condition. Even though the vet was only 10 mins away, we were both so nervous that the ride was silent.

When Dr. Dobbs entered the vet room we were both immediately attentive. Good news......well sort of......he has spinal disc deterioration and will need medication & lots of rest. No surgery though.

WE CAN DO THAT! Medication & Rest it is! We could not believe it, both of us were expecting the worse. But the worse did not happen.

That night I had to remind my husband and myself to thank God for answered prayers. In every situation we learn a bit about our relationship with God, this time I learned that I should NEVER forget to BE THANKFUL.

Once the bad passes we often forget who gave us the relief....always BE THANKFUL first and then rejoice!
