Looking to tomorrow

So I had a good cry today. The saddness stems from guilt. This feeling like I didn't protect my baby boy. I know I am just going through this grieving thing and I'll get over it, but it is hard none-the-less to learn about your "child's" injury and wondering how you could have prevented it.
I am really looking forward to tomorrow. I am leaving work as soon as I can to get home and drive the kids down to the holistic vet in RI, Dr. Doolittle. I am hoping she can help us determine a plan of action for him. I am expecting to come home with supplements such as Glucosamine, Chondroitin, and MSM for his joints. I hope to get a recommendation for an orthopedic specialist, though I already have my sights set on Dr. Trout at Angell Memorial. I hope she can alleviate some of the tension and strain Riley has put on the rest of his body in order to over-compensate for his injury.
Following the vet visit, we will be taking Sabrina to visit where she was born. We are going to the breeder's house. He still has one female and one male available from the litter. We are all excited to see the reunion, if Sabrina's mother recognizes her, and compare the puppies. It will be a fun reunion, hopefully after an enlightening vet visit.
And I have a dinner date with my gal pals after I get home. Malaysian food.

Tonight, Riley's tail is wagging and he has been very interested in getting attention from us (a good sign). Tomorrow will be a good day.
