10th Jul 2009 05:17 When LuvlyPanda came to stay with us, it was a busy time and no one was entirely comfortable with the transition. We found out the problem was we just didn't talk enough, so we called a family meeting over steaks and green beans with peaches for desert one night last week. It went really well.
Of course every one was pretty tired, since Medicine just got out of the hospital and we all had been taking shifts staying with her while she recovered from her wound. But that time pulled everyone together as well, as things like that tend to. We all know how much we love each other because we care enough to be there for one another in times of need like this. That is family. When one has a problem, the others do every thing they can to understand and help eacho ther out. We're really lucky that way. We all really love each other.
Luvly Panda was new to our family but she was right there for Medicine! In fact, LuvlyPanda was with Medicine when she passed out, and she ran and got Mantia to help take her to the hospital. If she hadn't been there, Medicine might have bled to death.
If our family had lost Medicine it would be so sad. Medicine takes care of all of us, so every one of my pets was very glad they got to do this for her. It just shows that even the stronger one of us, who generally takes care of all of our wellness, sometimes needs to be cared for herself. But now Medicine is feeling much better.
When we were all talking this over, LuvlyPanda let us all know how proud she is of her new family. She was sent to live with us by my daughter, Haft2beu, and she felt a little lost and unsure because she normally only visited us and her home was with Haft2beu. Now she feels she really belongs. It's funny how going through difficulties together is sometimes what it takes to help us know how much care for someone, and find our place with them.
"Thank you, Haft2beu, for sending me home!" says LuvlyPanda
We also set a few goals, but we'll post that in a goals blog.
