I have an almost ten year old Boxer dog who is one of the loves on my life.  Last night Tiger woke me up with a seizure.  It was very scary.  This morning Tiger was acting completely normal.  I called the vet as soon as they opened at 8:00am.  I got an appointment for this afternoon.  We got in and they did an EKG and some labwork.  There is no real reason for the seizure.  There are three options - one, it was just a fluke; two, Tiger has cardiomyopathy; or three, she has a brain tumor.  I sat in the vet's office stunned by these possibilities.  I was deeply distressed about this news.  Then, I began thinking about Lucille and Dr. Tom...I can't even imagine how they felt when they were given a diagnosis for their son. 

 I have decided I am not going to dwell on the possibilities and the what ifs....but I am going to make each day count for Miss Tiger. 

Yesterday is history; Tomorrow is a mystery; today is a gift that is why it is THE PRESENT!
