Can't help but smile at a rainbow... : )
I know I’m a little early, but I have a busy day tomorrow and might not get to this. Enjoy this marvel of nature. I never cease to be amazed by the wonder and beauty of a rainbow. This one was behind my house just the other day. Can’t help but smile and feel good when you see one. If you look closely you’ll actually see two rainbows!
Goodbye “Baby Girl”
My "baby girl" Money
My “baby girl” is gone. She was diagnosed with renal failure on the 18th of July. We tried some treatments, but nothing worked. We took her on vacation with us during the first week in August. She did really well and seemed to be hanging in. She started losing her appetite and wasn’t drinking enough. After we came home from vacation she got weaker and weaker. On the 14th the vet came to the house to rescue her from her misery. It’s up there among the saddest and hardest things I’ve ever experienced. It’s hard to get past that day, but I’m trying to focus on the 13 great years we had with her. What a big hole there is in our hearts and in our home. My 9 year old son has been so supportive. When he sees my husband or me get really sad he puts his arm around us and tells us that we “did the right thing” and it’ll be okay. (Aren’t we supposed to be doing that for him??) What a great kid! And what a great dog!
We love you Money! And miss you terribly.
Wordless Wednesday
This looks like a quiet, peaceful event. Don't be fooled! He's banging and yelling to celebrate his successful climb! But I can look at it and pretend we have those quiet peaceful times:)
Oh my goodness!!
"the little darling"
I just checked my calendar. That’s where I put all of the stickers from the g-tube box that has the serial numbers on it. I also note each day that I have to change his tube. SIX g-tubes in the month of July!!! Yes, SIX!! That’s insane! And that’s with all of the measures in place that we could come up with to keep him from pulling them out…overalls during the day, onesies and shirts pinned to shorts at night. During the day has been pretty good. But night times are a pain in the neck now! I can’t put him to bed in overalls. Not with all of the metal buttons and buckles. That would be very uncomfortable I would think. The onesies are useless. He pulls the tube out anyway, but at least it doesn’t get lost. And he can’t very well chew on it when it’s stuck inside his clothes, right?! UGH!!! All suggestions welcome! There’s got to be something!
