Sweet Orbit's Brush With Death

When I first started writing to this blog it was to suppose to be about healing dogs with Chinese medicine. It was going to be a teaching vehicle for my website... Which by the way, is about Chinese herbals for pets and it is an extremely interesting topic.....but that's for another time and place.

However for right now and for some unknown reason, when I write, I am compelled to write about subject matter that is taking a direction that has a mind of its own.

My mother thinks my stories are depressing.

When excitedly I told her of my new blog, which is going to retell the story of the day "death came calling", a tale about my sweet Orbit's recent near brush with death....

She said; "O Holly"... and it said with such disdain.....Hmmm, and I thought it was a fascinating idea!

If I do say so myself, my chosen topics could be considered is a tad weird.

But I can't help it, I find that I am having the urge to write the stories about esoteric incidents that have happened to me throughout my life.

I have to face the fact that writing about dogs and their spirituality could be considered little eccentric...Case in point; My last blog explored the quintessential question; "Do dogs go to heaven?"

I can understand where that concept came from. You see... Sargent Puppy, my Aunt Patty's sweet dog had just died. Simultaneously my pooch Orbit was sick had just taken a turn for the worse, he was close to death. So it was only natural that the question be asked... and I believe I gave a good answer.

But there is more to be told about those days of uncertainty. They were very dark days and something unusual took place during that awful time while Orbit's life hung in the balance between life and death.

I believe it is an interesting tale worth telling...Because I know for certain that during this particular time "death came calling."

It's a difficult story to retell and I need all my story wits about me so that I can convey the essence of the moment. But right now it is getting late, I'm tired and hungry.... So I will call it a night and pick it up later.
