...dog, that is. No she's not really dead. I know that most of you have heard the story of Jessie, the adorable Corgi. Beth had rescued her many years ago. The vet told her that the dog had heartworms and if they didn't pay the $1,000 treatment cost, she would only last for 6 months. Beth and Mike didn't have the money at that time and Jess was about 10 years old, so she asked me if I would provide hospice for doggy and make the last few months of her life comfortable. That was about 7 years ago. The dog is still alive, but we call her "the dead dog". Either the vet was totally incompetent, or very corrupt. Anyhow, Rick is building a deck addition off our bedroom and he had the pad all nice and level and ready for concrete, but JESSIE thought it should have more holes in it! Isn't she cute???-Update... I will defend my dissertation on Sept. 28th. I am profoundly frightened of this, but immediately, I have to finish editing the draft. I should be done on Sunday.
-Katie is back home and doing well, but the specialist told her that there is too much damage and she will need a cornea transplant. I think this will happen within a few months. She starts school on the 29th.
-Rick and I have been bicycling quite a bit and A.J. has even joined us for a ride or two.
-On a more somber note...my mom was rushed to the hospital on Saturday because she was paralyzed on her left side. My sister thought she had a stroke. Testing showed she did not have a stroke, but she is still unable to walk. She is lucid and getting stronger every day. Last night she was moved to a nursing home for rehabilitation. I think the source of the problem is her inability to take her medication regularly and her diabetes got the best of her. She will be getting good care at the nursing home. Keep her in your prayers.
I hope you are all well. We have a rainy weekend in store.
