The picture is of Mike trying to get to his stocking... he "always" knows exactly which one is his. He LOVES Christmas and opening presents.


Thank you all for all your prayers... I know you're praying because Mike was so much better yesterday, and today he's "almost" back to normal. I am so very grateful. I hate it when he's sick.

Little Gidget is doing better "my" quest to get her totally housebroken. She's staying out a little bit longer each time she gets out of her room to potty and play. However, after she's out and playing for a little while.. she still ends up back in the laundry room at the door long before she should have to go again, so we go out and potty and then go back in her room. One great thing that she has learned now though is to bark when she goes to the door... I'm grateful for any small thing she can give me LOL.... so at least she's not just standing there waiting for me to see her and peeing if I don't see her. So.. now we're ok with telling me she has to go. The hard part is getting her to realize that she doesn't "have" to go out so often. I swear... I think she rations it on purpose when she goes out and saves enough to go again in ten minutes time. LOL

I finally got to the store to drop off the camera. I don't have much money for prints, so I'm just having them put it on a cd. It will be ready on Monday, so if I get a ride, I'll pick it up and post some new pics here. I can't wait.

I've got to tell you... this is so horrendous. About a month ago, I was with Chris, my grandson, at one of the local malls. He wanted to go into the pet store and see the puppies. Well.. we went in, and I was really pissed. It was dirty... the cages were dirty (with shredded paper instead of a blanket or bedding), the water dishes were empty, and the poor dogs looked so lost. I complained to the clerk and she said, "I'll let the manager know, but he's not here right now". I asked her if she couldn't at least put some water in the dishes without the manager, and she said she would. I walked away from there really pissed off. Well... last night on the news, Carl Monday did an investigative report... guess where he was... yep... that same pet shop. Here's the link to it.... when you get to the link.. click on the "video".... people like this should be shot.

Hey Amy... Thanks for stopping by. I've been meaning to e-mail you but haven't had a chance to turn around twice. How's school going? You should be about finished now. I am so very proud of you. :-D

Hi Cindy.... I am sooooooooo excited for Justice and Tucker. You have two wonderful boys there.. always trying to make Mom proud!
Mike's on Pepcid twice a day, and other than Thursday, he seems to be doing ok with it. She started him on the Pepcid when he was vomiting bile. He hasn't had that problem since I've started giving it to him daily. This time he brought up food. I honestly don't know how long it was after he had eaten that he had the problem. If it happens again though, I'll ask the vet about the Reglan and let you know. I really appreciate the offer... hopefully, we won't have an encore performance in the near future. Remember when I use to talk about his "possessed mode"... well, that's what this was. It's been a long time since he went through that... hopefully it won't happen for another long time... but I'll take you up on your offer if we need to.

I'm going to check on some of your threads now. I pray everyone is happy and healthy.

Take Care and God Bless
