It was kind of stressful watching Mike today. I told you he hasn't wanted to eat. This morning, he told me he was hungry, so I made him some oatmeal. He snubbed it... wouldn't eat it out of the bowl or off of a spoon. So there I sat... on the floor... hand feeding him oatmeal. He didn't eat much, probably just enough to calm his stomach. About a half hour after he took his Pepcid, he decided he was hungry again, so I warmed up the rest of it, and this time was very relieved when he ate it out of his bowl... I had to start him eating it first with my hand though. This time it was on the kibble, and he did manage to eat a little bit of it. That's the first time he's eaten any in quite awhile. Tonight I made some fish, and thank God, he gobbled it up. Again with a little bit of kibble. I'm really concerned about him with this. One of our Craig's List friend who recently lost his beautiful Irish Setter wrote to me and said.... "Be cautious about him not eating, thats how Kelly started,not eating, only her treats and then nothing. When he is sure you have bonded with Gidget, he will say goodbye as Kelly did, when she was sure I was ok with Katie." Katie was a new Irish Setter puppy he had gotten before Kelly went to the Rainbow Bridge. His words make so much sense, and I'd be lying if I didn't say I was really concerned that this might be something warning me of what's ahead.

Gidget has been extremely good today. She hasn't been going out every ten minutes and driving me nuts. Instead... she's been keeping herself busy by raiding the laundry basket of everything and anything she can pull out and drag across the house. LOL She made me literally laugh out loud last night. I heard her in the laundry room and thought I heard a short bark, so I figured maybe she had to go out. When I went in there... she was standing in the middle of the room, looking at me with a dirty sock hanging out of her mouth. I wish I had the camera in my hand at that particular moment. When I came back in the living room, I saw she had been really busy... there were two pair of underwear and about six socks on the side of the couch. Oh my gosh... it was soooooo funny.

Jack's blog has created such wonderful activity. His surgery is on Wednesday, and I just know the funds will be there. I've been trying to keep updating it as often as I can with each new bit of information or each donation we've received. What a wonderful feeling to be able to help such a deserving team as Debbie and Jack. Here's the link again in case you missed it. http://jack-thekingofhearts-needsyourhelp.blogspot.com/

I'm going to be gone tomorrow from around 9:30 in the morning until maybe 2:30 in the afternoon, so I'll post on Jack's blog before and after those times. Hopefully, I'll be able to say we've got enough funds to cover the surgery. Keep praying. I know it will happen.

By the way... I want to apologize for not getting to anyone's IMOM thread this past few days. I've been on Jack's thread and trying to keep up with everything there almost constantly. I promise to get back to posting as soon as possible. For now though, I'm going to read the posts, and I'll comment when I'm not so pooped. LOL Love You All.

Love & Blessings
