It’s Sunday again? I haven’t posted all week…it’s been busy!

OK, update on my husband: we saw his oncologist on Wednesday and received EXCELLENT news! His bone scan was negative! and the cancer in his lungs hasn’t increased NOR has it spread to any other parts of his body! The oncologist said, “It doesn’t get any better than this!” and we agree. Thank You, God, for hearing our prayers!

OK, sad news. Our chocolate lab died this weekend. We think she got bit by a poisonous snake…her right leg was swollen and she had a fever of 105.5* when we took her to the vet Friday night around 7:30. He gave her an antibiotic shot and kept her overnight. She died some time during the night, poor girl. We are all heartbroken. She was seven years old, not an old dog, she still acted puppy-like. We have already discussed the future and probably this spring we’ll get another dog. We are animal people, there are two cats in our family that allow us to share their living quarters and having pets is vital to our lives. We just have to mourn our Tiger and wait until spring…every time I looked out my kitchen window, my eyes went to her doghouse and I looked for her smiling brown face, but it wasn’t there. I miss her so much! Rest in Peace, sweet girl! The vet is going to cremate her for us and I’ll pick up the ashes when he’s done. We’ll bury her under the oak tree with our two Siamese kitties. We’ve invited our next-door neighbors to join us for the ceremony.

Life has good moments, and then it has sad moments. The important thing is to remember that no matter what, GOD is with us.
