Sorry I'm so late in posting. I, again, have had quite a day, and it feels good to actually get moving again. The weather was just beautiful today.. sunny and 58. The pups and I spent quite a bit of time outside, and you could tell they were just as happy as I was to get out and get some "good" fresh air. I think Spring is finally here. It's drizzling tonight, but that's ok.. I love the rain, and it sounds beautiful. The Spring Peepers are out... you could hear them with the window cracked open even the slightest bit... a sure sign that Spring is here (by they way... in case you don't know... Spring Peepers are small frogs :-D )

Mike continues to do extremely well. It's almost miraculous. No clots, (almost) yellow pee all the time, great leg and able to run (a bit), no more breathing spasms, and since Dr. Kari said Pepcid was ok for him... no upset stomachs. How wonderful it is to look at my handsome guy and know he's finally having the wonderful, pain free days he deserves. I have to thank all of you for all your prayers and good wishes, because I'm sure that has been an extreme factor in his getting better.

Little Miss Katie is still doing things to make me laugh out loud. I forgot how much fun it is to watch a puppy playing.. so uninhibited... so happy to be alive... so interested in the least little thing that catches her attention. BUT... I also forgot how much work they are... well... at least yesterday... oh my gosh... yesterday, she had me ready to tear my hair out... we played the "go potty... fake" all day long. In and out all day... and if I "dared" not to let her out, she would show me... she'd pee in the hallway. Needless to say, she didn't go potty everytime I let her out.. instead she'd find rocks and leaves and things to bark at. I think I aged five years just yesterday alone.

I want to apologize for not getting to the threads today. I promise I'll check on everyone in the morning. I was going to visit all of you after my group left tonight, but I'm really exhausted, and Mike's bugging me to go to bed too... I guess all that fresh air (while it felt so wonderful) took a lot out of both of us (not the puppy though... she'd keep going as long as we let her LOL... but I just told her "bedtime, go to your room", and she politely went to her "room" and is now curled up sleeping soundly).

I pray all of you and all of the beautiful pets out there are having a wonderful night and that everyone is getting the care and funding necessary. Speaking of which... if any of you could please complete the sponsorship for Tucker... it would be so very appreciated. Cindy has so much on her plate, and with two babies who have so many health issues as well as having health issues herself, she could use all the help, love and support we can give her. Here is a link to their thread http://www.imom.org/community/index.php?showtopic=4049&st=780 .

Sending out big prayer and loads of love, hugs, belly rubs and wet Westie nose (and whisker) kisses to all.
