Happy New Year?

fabrisseSis and I are back from our South American cruise. I'll write more on that later, but let it suffice that we were confined to our cabin for two days (sea days, fortunately) thanks to bad colds. I would also like to shout out LATAM airlines for having a really comfortable business class and multi-lingual stewards.
I was awakened by my sister this morning because Nora's back legs weren't working properly. She's not paralyzed, per se, but she can't walk right, can't jump at all, and was clearly in great pain. Sis took her to the emergency vet -- I carried her to the car, since Sis has a bad shoulder -- and I looked after Nicky. Nora will be at the vet overnight, have an MRI tomorrow, and, possibly surgery to help her bulging disc, which is what they think is the cause.
Not the best New Year's beginning.
Nicky is sad because his sister didn't come home with my sister. I'm sad because no one wants to see an animal in pain. And Sis is sad because she loves her dogs.
We have pet insurance, so most of the expenses should be covered, but the fact is the bill has to be paid and the insurance reimburses rather than the insurance taking it directly.
