we took our dog to the vet again this morning. He had a doggy fever. The vet decided not to wait for the lab results and put him on anti- fungal meds and something for the fever. She mentioned they had one other case like this last year and the dog survived, but it took six weeks before the dog showed improvement on this one , very expensive drug. Obviously, we are willing to try this treatment even if it means three a day cleaning treatments of the wounds, feeding him baby food and cooked hum...Thursday, March 20th 2008
I feel better today than I did yesterday. Sharon ( Theoslady) reminded me to pray for God's grace during this time in my life. Bess reminded that God has a way of making bad things turn out good. I know all these things and have even spoken these words to others, but it's comforting to have others speak them to me when I need to hear them. As I thought about my emotions today, I realized I wasn't running to the pantry looking for something to eat or popping a vicoden all which are available to ...Wednesday, March 19th 2008
I was going to talk about my new positive attitude that the Lord and I have been developing.

The ones that say, put your money where your mouth is girl. Let's see if ...Monday, March 17th 2008

I have been thinking about this for some time and been wanting to write about it in my blog for a while too. I've read how others feel when they go over into the red: guilty, frustrated, defeated, and fat. It's like we all have lost the battle for that day and have that over whel...Saturday, March 15th 2008
There was much rejoicing in my household today as the vet gave us the word that our dog does not have cancer. He has a nasty infection of some kind in his skin of unknown origins at this point, but it is not the BIG C. Yes, there are these ugly bumps on him that look and make him feel bad, but they are not cancer. We will try different antibiotics and if we have to do a long term biopsy to see what kind of infection this is. I will have my Gamby around for a little longer. Thank you Lord for y...
