i just got an email from sophie's "mom"; the puppies all went to the vet today for their shots, microchips, and deworming. great, fine. then she told me that sophie has a slight heart murmur. now, i know that heart murmurs aren't uncommon in puppies, especially larger breeds. and i trust that this girl isn't trying to screw us over. i believe her when she said that the vet isn't concerned, and feels that it will likely be gone in sophie's next visit or 2. that's all well and good, LOGICALLY. but oh my poor heart. i'm so nervous and scared and omg how do parents deal with actual bad news about the actual health problems of their actual children?!!? |
