Thank goodness Mike seems to be much better today. I just hate when things happen like yesterday to remind me of what's going on with him.

This morning was questionable, but as the day progressed, so did Mike. He was acting and feeling so much better, that I thought I'd take the opportunity to give him a much needed haircut. Oh my.. he is sooooooo handsome. He is so good for me when he gets groomed. He lays really still for me. The only problem I have is that once he gets comfortable on one side, I have a heck of a time getting him to lay on the other side so I could even him out. LOL But.. we managed, and he looks great. He didn't get a bath today... I figured I'd save that one for another time... but with all that old hair off, he "looks" a hundred percent cleaner and better (of course he always looks good so I don't really know if he could look better). The pictures I took were all with his winter coat. I guess I'll have to get another camera so you could see how awesome he looks now.

Katie wasn't neglected today. She had a bath.. and now she smells soooooo pretty. :-) She's not crazy about being in the laundry tub, but she is actually quite good in there for me. Of course when I went to brush her out, all she wanted to do was play with the brush.. silly puppy. After getting all squeaky clean, all she wanted to do was play... so that's what we did... all of us. She and Mike had a grand old time and we all played tug-o-war with a three-circled pull toy that I bought them.

My leg is feeling a bit better today, and my blood pressure seems to be a little more stable, so I'm hoping that by tomorrow I'll be able to take both of them for a short walk. The weather is so beautiful today and is suppose to be even better tomorrow.

I tried calling Debbie (Jack's Mom) twice last night, but all I got was her voice mail. I just pray she's ok. According to her last post, she had gotten a large sliver in her leg and couldn't get it out. By what she was saying, it sounds like it has gotten badly infected. I'm going to try her again in a little while. She's had so much bad luck lately... please say a prayer for her.

In the meantime, I'm gonna take my kids out for awhile and enjoy this gorgeous day. I pray everyone is healthy, happy and getting all of the support they need (which brings me to Cindy... please angels... Tucker and Justice still need sponsors... please do what you can to help them out). Ok.. gonna get going. By for now.

May God Extend His Blessings To Each And Every One Of You

Joanna,
I would love to see mike with his new summer haircut. I had thought about getting emma a haircut but the groomer said it could all come back undercoat. I think she is right because where they shaved her the first time it is all soft undercoat. She is very thick and my mom let me use this new brush she bought. Boy I could brush her for hours and it would still come out.
I am so glad to hear that mike had a good day yesterday. I love spending time with my kids outside when it is nice. I to hope debbie is ok, let me know if you get ahold of her. I hope her leg is ok. Let her know we are thinking about her.
I cant wait to see new pictures of mike and katie. I am going to put some of justice and emma up when I have a chance. I am glad that you are feeling better as well. I woke up kind of stuffy today but now it is gone. Hope you guys get to enjoy this great weather today.
Lots of love and aussie hugs,
Jennifer and Emma
