Binka Update

[mrsbrown]

We just got back from the vet.

The mouth and stitches are all fine.

We discussed euthanasia, in fact we had the full grieving talk - how Rose will respond, deciding who makes the decision, how the teenagers will respond and how to dispose of the body.

I'm inclined to pay someone else to bury her. It's the most environmentally friendly option and we don't have to dig a really big hole.

He thought it could be as early as a week, or as much as a month, and we need to assess her daily to see if it's time.

We're supposed to be off to Adelaide on the weekend, with charlesnaismith staying home to feed and medicate her. I think we'll decide on Thursday morning if we can still go.

When l had Sooty put down l actually brought his body home and buried him in the backyard, but admittedly your Binka would be a lot bigger, and the logistics would be more difficult. Even though it was traumatic to have to bring him home l felt it was the right thing to do.

l'd love you to post a photo of Binka, if you could.

That's a lovely photo of her.

I might try and get over some time in the next few days if that's okay.

Poor Binka, and poor you her family too.

Perhaps I will come back to your place after grrly bonding on Wed to say goodbye?

I think I will be driving, so that works if you want a lift.
