Daisy & Sadie



Yesterday I had the opportunity to walk the hounds and it was great. Beautiful day...Daisy and Millie are still recovering from surgeries a few months prior, but are doing great. Well, today after church it was too beautiful to not go on another walk, so we went. Halfway down the road I noticed Daisy was really struggling. Since she had that massive lipoma removed from her arm/chest she limps horribly. The vet said she would most likely have massive arthritis after the surgery, and she does. It broke my heart, but I had to bring her back home and continue the walk without her. I hate to see them get old! But on the same token, so grateful I have been able to see them get old! My sweet Sadie is having a rough time too...it sounds like she is getting water in her lungs. I have thought for awhile now she has congestive heart failure..I know she is 11 1/2 almost and it happens when they are old, but it breaks my heart! We really don't want to take her to the vet at this point, since they want to run 100's of tests...we just want them to enjoy the time they do have left. Millie and Daisy turn 11 next month and the vet figured Dusty was older than 11 when he had surgery last February, but we can't be sure. It has been so fun having them all close to the same age, but I am terrified of what lies ahead...I just have to try so hard and focus on living for today and not worrying about tomorrow. Easier said than done! I hope all is well with everyone!

Feeling Good!!!

Last Saturday I decided to do the unthinkable...and get my hair done...really different. For those of you that know me, know that I have always been blonde, besides the few times I thought I needed to try something wild. Well I went and told Lisa (the hair genius) that I needed something different. I am obsessed with long hair. Love it. Always have, always will, but....I also feel like I was starting to look like a polygamist, so I told her I needed a change! I will have to post pics..I just haven't taken any yet. She took off a ton. I have layers everywhere! My hair is really dark, but we did lighter highlights on top and I now have bangs too! I thought for sure 1993 would be calling me asking for the bangs back..but I have never had so many compliments in my life on this hair! I am loving it! And since it is darker, for some reason people seem to think I have lost weight! Why didn't I do this sooner? Love, Love, Love it!!! Nothing makes me feel better than getting my hair done:)
