I am sorry I haven't been around much lately. Approximately 3 months ago my health started going downhill. I was having a lot of problems with my bowels and so ended up having a colonoscopy. They didn't see anything and said I most likely had "IBS". They only thing they recommended was to lower stress, eat more fiber, and take probiotics.
Of course I was happy it wasn't something like the 'C' word, but since there isn't anything they can do for me, it is a bit depressing when I have bad days.
Like yesterday I felt sick to my stomach after eating anything....many trips to the potty (TMI) and my abdomen is actually very tender. Noel hopped up on me when I was laying on the couch and her little paw landed on my lower abdomen and I flew off the couch because it hurt!
My Mom is also in the process of moving near me so I can help take care of her (she had Multiple Sclerosis and is wheelchair-bound).
Suffice it to say, that has put my show schedule on hold. Perhaps indefinetly.
I am very sad to say that I don't know if I can continue showing. I do have a show to go to this weekend and I am waiting to see how I feel before I go.
I contacted Dian (my breeder) and told her everything and asked if perhaps we could rework her contract and refund some monies and make her a pet instead. :-( Is that totally rude of me to ask?
At least I will still have my precious fluffs, but won't have the stress of showing....as right now its just seems all too much on my plate to deal with my health, my Mom, and traveling to show.
Thanks for letting me vent....
