Well... no clots today (Thank You Lord)... I'm praying we don't see any "ever" again. There were a couple big ones passing yesterday... I hate to see him struggle to get them out, but they "have" to come out. It seems like they are coming like every other day... I guess it takes a day to work it's way to the urethra to get out... if this is true... they'll be back tomorrow. :-(
His leg was soooooooooooo much better yesterday... until last night. He was really good in understanding when I stopped him and Katie from playing yesterday. Katie couldn't quite understand it, and it took a bit of firm "no"s to keep her away from him, but Mike listened on the first "no"... I know he knew it was for the best. Well.. it snow again yesterday (eeeeeggghhh).. and it got really, really cold last night. So, of course, after the temperature dropped, and he went outside, his leg tightened up again. My poor guy just can't get ahead of the game. It seems pretty good this morning, but I'm afraid it's going to take a very long time to heal if this stinkin' Ohio weather doesn't cooperate.
Miss Katie is doing really great. She's still trying to figure out if shes a dog, kitten or bunny... I'm still trying to figure it out too. The only attribute she has of a dog is when she begs for food... my gosh... she is relentless when she "thinks" she's going to get handouts. Outside she's a rabbit.. bouncing and hopping in the snow... she loves it (now if I could only stop her from eating the snow, ice and poop-cycles... yuck). In the house, she's a cat... she leaps on the furniture, me and Mike... all fours up in the air and she's flying. LOL She's so funny cuz sometimes she'll jump up on the chair or couch and lay on the arm instead of the cushions. Yep... she definitely has an identity crisis. I'm thinking therapy. LOL
She did learn a WONDERFUL thing though yesterday.... she "finally" realized something that I had been praying for for a very long time. She figured out that she could tell me when she has to go out!!!! She'll come and put her two front paws on my leg and bark... I let her out.. and she does her thing... HOOOOORRRRAAAAYYYY!!!! Of course, when she realized what a "good girl" she is when she does this.. she decided to make it into a game... and every time she gets bored... we go out. LOL More times than not, she "does" go potty, so that's really a plus.
Hi Judy...
Thanks again for being here for me. Mike does give me strength... but so do you and all of our friends. Like I've said over and over again... I couldn't do this without all of you.
Hey Splight...
It looks like I came here to post just after you posted. Thanks so much for stopping in and posting. I just love that Mike and Katie are getting so close... I just wish I could let them play like they want to.... oh well.. maybe when the weather warms, and his leg is back to normal. I hope you get your internet going... I know I'd be having total withdrawl.
I didn't get to check on anyone's thread yesterday... gonna go catch up in a little while. I pray everyone is doing well and all the fur-kids are healthy and getting all the care they need (I "know" they're getting all the love they can handle).
Tons of belly rubs to all the fur-kids out there and bunches of huge hugs to all our human friends.
Love & Blessings,
Jo

Oh Joanna! Im sorry I don't get to visit more often ( no internet at the house) but please know that you three are all in my thoughts and not a day goes by that I do not ask God to continue to bless you all. I wish, I wish with everything in me, that I could make this somehow easier, or just go away completely. I hate this too and I just wish that you and Mike can find comfort in eachother.
I remember when Layla injured her hind L leg. She still has trouble in the cool weather and it will tighten up. What I do with Layla is I keep her covered up at night. (She loves to cuddle in the blankets) What this did was keep her leg warm during the night so it didn't cramp as much when she got up in the am. Maybe a heating pad would work, although I would check regarding safety concerns. And the vet showed me how to massage her leg. Its simple, just rub with the middle of the fingers and not the tips and go in slow circles and don't press hard :) See, simple! LOL
The kids otherwise sound great and they seem to be getting closer to eachother. I love your page and all of your pictures!
Hang in there Joanna, God has so much in store for an Angel like you! BIG HUGS and prayers..
