Sitka's Anticipation

As the snow melts and the time moves forward I find my furry self anxious. I am to travel to Manikin-Sabot tomorrow to see the Orthopedic Doggie Doctor. My parents were told to bring me prepared for surgery.

SURGERY...Yikes!!! I have been there and done that. It is not fun!! I have another problem. Just like humans, I have fears. I get very upset when crated and I do not like to be far from my Mommie.

People assume I am "the perfect dog" because I am obedient and an avid therapy dog. I, like my human friends live my life striving to do the best I can, but I am not perfect. I love my family, the job GOD has given me, and every adventure and twist life brings.

This evening will be my last meal before going to the doctor tomorrow and facing whatever the visit brings. My parents are giving me lots of love and attention, however I am still a bit anxious. I did not sleep well last night. I demanded Mom take me out at 1 AM and then I did not want to come back in. I just could not get comfortable or satisfied. Mom was not thrilled about an hour outside in the middle of the night in the bitter cold, but she loves me and we made it through the night together.

I am thankful for parents and friends (furry and human) who love and pray for me. God bless each of you as you continue to seek GOD's will for your life no matter how difficult your journey.

Praying for healing, restoration, comfort, and peace.......

Woofs and Wags,
