The Mind Is A Mysterious Thing

Friday is the big day. Greta goes to the Vet and we will get the word on “if” she is pregnant. Oh how I wish I had experienced fingers! I could feel my girl up and just know if she had “biscuits in the oven”! Alas, my fingers are not so learned, and although I “think” I feel a hard little mound in her belly, there is part of me that worries that she is just getting fat!

I’m like that, you know. When presented with almost irrefutable evidence of a condition, I always come close to convincing myself that it’s nothing.

A few years ago when I lost the vision in my left eye as I was instant messaging with my friend Uschi, I immediately suspected something serious. I actually called the doctor and when told to come immediately to the hospital I got in my Jeep and headed to the hospital. Half way there, I had convinced myself that it was nothing and that the doctor would be angry that I had wasted his time.

I know, you are thinking I am a nut case. Blind in one eye and then convincing myself it was nothing. As you all know from this entry, I had a detached retina. So it wasn’t all in my mind. It was real.

Even with this history it doesn’t stop me from thinking that perhaps I am wrong about my Greta and that this

is just my imagination.

I take her in at 10:30 in the morning. I will post as soon as I get home and let you all know.

  1. I have a feeling that Greta has more than just a “bun” in that expanding belly of hers! I can’t wait to find out either!

  2. hmmm… I wasn’t thinking you were crazy for convincing yourself it was nothing when you were blind in one eye. I was thinking you were crazy for DRIVING to the hospital when you were suddenly and inexplicably blind in one eye!

  3. Oh, some exciting events around your house. I am looking forward to hearing how Greta is doing and what her situation is exactly!

    Did I tell you I worked in an animal hospital for years? It was one of the most amazing jobs I’ve ever had…so many types of animals and their companions.

    Good luck on Greta’s adventure today!
