Just a note before going to bed.
Mike slept pretty much all day. Michelle, my daughter, came over for a little while, and he got up to greet her at the door. It was the first time he had barked all day... what a wonderful sound that was. She could see he wasn't feeling good, especially since she brought Arby's over and he didn't even beg for any. He ate some when offered, but he didn't ask.

It really made his day when she asked him, "do you wanna go for a ride?"... he came to life and couldn't wait to get in the car. It felt so good to see him look alive again. We just took a ride up to the corner store and back, but it was enough to make him happy. As soon as we got home, he went right to sleep again.

It's been a very long and hard day. I truly want to thank all of you... Mary, Judy, Debs, Cindy, Jennifer and those who have e-mailed or talked to me on the phone... you are all such a comfort to me. I am so blessed to have such wonderful friends who understand the love Mike and I have for each other and the bond that's been created by us throughout the years. God Bless Each And Every One Of You.

Love To You All,
Joanna
