Good Morning All...

The picture is Mike in the paper on the day I got him. We will have been together 11 years on May 5th. We've had quite a journey, and I'm praying it lasts a lot longer.

It's a beautiful day in Northeast Ohio. It was 75 and sunny yesterday and will be going up to 78 today with very low humidity... perfect weather for everyone (like me) who hates winter and cold. I'm sure you won't hear me complaining about this.

The pups are doing well. Mr. Mike has been doing great the last couple of days, and I'm so happy about that. All these wonderful days help me to forget how sick he is, but it also makes the bad days seems so much worse. I try not to think of those days and just enjoy the time we have together.

Katie is doing her best to keep me on my toes. Although she (in reality) potty trained.. she insists on going potty in the house at least two or three times a day. It's not like she never goes out.. she tells me when she has to go, and she goes each time. I also take her out in between the times she tells me, but she still pees "after" being outside for any amount of time. Ohhhhh... it's so frustrating.

Hey Michelle... How weird that Dr. Blaha was your Mom's doctor. She really is very nice. I'm lucky to have found her. My daughter is going to use her for Scrappy too, and my brother might use her for Mikey. I have a feeling I could help her build her business up just with the people I know. Thanks so much for stopping in to check on the kids. Give the dorky butts some huge hugs from me and wet westie nose kisses from my little ones.

Praying everyone has a wonderful day and your weather is as great as ours.

Love and Blessings

We are having the same wonderful weather here in southern ohio as well. It is beautiful, emma loves to just lay in the grass. I am so happy that mike has been doing well the last few days. He is so adorable and Ill bet he is loving the weather. I think everyone feels better when the weather is nice. How neat that you found a vet that will come to your house. My vet is awesome but doesnt make house calls. It sounds like you are having the same trouble with katie as I am with emma. She sometimes will go in the house an hour after I have taken her outside. I take her out every 2 - 3 hours and she has done this since we first got her. She was given antibiotics to see if it was a uti but has still done it. When I take her out sometimes she will go three or four times. She will also try to get up and walk away while she is still going. I have asked around and have been told maybe it is behavioral. She will be a year next month and still is doing this. It has gotten better than it was. She doesnt even sniff sometimes she just goes and then shes off. How old is katie now?
I have been doing research trying to find out what could cause this. I hope it isnt something that requires more medical treatment. I am so tapped out and with starting school it will be even tighter.
I am glad that you stopped by to see us. I always love hearing how your kids are doing. You guys enjoy the day and Ill stop back by soon.
Lots of love and aussie hugs,
Jennifer and Emma
