I can't believe it's Wednesday already. Where does the time go anyway? I've been doing a lot of work for Dr. Blaha, and it's pretty much taken my days. I amaze myself sometimes, not to brag, but I figured out how to change "almost" everything that needed to be changed in her VIA program to suit her needs. It's a long and involved process, but I'm getting it done. I pray it will be worth it to her. I'd hate to have her pay me for so many hours and then not have it perfect. Anyway... I feel good about being able to help her out. She is such a wonderful lady, and I enjoy doing this for her.

Mike had another great night's sleep last night. No panting at all!!! What a treat that was. He slept on the bed until around 3:00 this morning.

Last night he and Gidget were playing tug again. Oh man... how I love to watch them play. Mike hasn't been up to playing much lately, and I know his little sister was as happy to see the shift in him as I was. After playing tug, they continued to play for a short time. She is so funny... she loves to put her front legs over his back and ride him like a horse while he "tries" to jump up enough to make her slide off. I wish I had a video camera for that. It'd be great on Funniest Home Videos... a $10,000 winner. Unfortunately, they don't play often enough, so the times they do play really warm my heart. The sad part about it is that Mike never wants to play for very long, and Gidget can't understand why he'll growl at her and show his teeth every time she wants to play (which is quite often)... she just doesn't understand the mixed messages he gives her.

Hey Michelle, Daisy & Blue... It's great to hear from you. I'm sorry I haven't been on the kid's thread lately. I'm still very lax in getting to IMOM as much as I use to. Please know you guys are always in my thoughts and prayers too. Oh.. I've got to tell you... I was at my niece's house last week, and her kids were watching Blues Clues. I immediately thought of little Blue and told the kids that I know Blue. You should have seen their eyes light up. It was really cute. So, tell Blue she has a little fan club here in Ohio. Give both the munchkins some gentle hugs from me and nose kisses from the Westie and PESTie.

Hey Cynthia... I'm soooo happy the funding is going well for Benji. You guys really deserve a break. I know what you're going through with the fundraising.. keeping track of it, e-mails, etc. I remember when I was doing Jack's blog and trying to raise funds for his surgery... it totally engulfed my entire day until it was over. Give sweet Benji and Bugsy some little skritches from me and (of course) nose kisses from the Westie and PESTie.

I pray everyone is happy and healthy today and remains that way forever. Take Care and God Bless.

Love & Blessings

It's the worst when our babies are not doing well!

I'm glad that Mike finally had a half way decent night. I hope that he gets some rest so that you can! At least the Little Missy slept in so you got a few extra zzzz's there. :)

Just been busy on this end, but wanted to let you know that you and your "kids" are never far from our thoughts! Sending you all hugs and kisses as well as wishes for more restful nights!

XOXOXOXO
Michelle, Daisy and Blue

Joanna, I am so sorry for not posting in awhile. Even though I may not be here, I never stop thinking about you all.
With all the donations that is rolling in for Benji, it keeps me on the computer for hours at a time sometimes tyring to keep up with all the email and comments I get. Things are going well and Benji should have enough for the surgery real soon.
I am glad to hear that Mike and his sister are getting along. I so wish though that there was something to make Mike comfortable all the time. You have been such a wonderful mom to him.
You are always in my heart and thoughts,
hugs and love to you all,
Cynthia
