PUPPY STRESS!


No, we haven't lost a pet...... but sister Pammie's two doggies (who are the lights of my life!) get sick now and then and scare the shit out of us. Misty, the silver one, is 8 yrs. old (Lady is 12) and has been unwell this week. Pam took her to the vet today, and I went along for moral support and well.......cuz I love the little sweethearts so much.

Turns out Misty has some arthritis and has been experiencing pain, which is why she's so stressed out and trembling so much. The pain meds she started her on tonight seem to be making a difference with the pain, thankfully. Now to see if she'll stop the trembling and being so obviously traumatized. If not, she may have to put her on another med for nervousness. We'll just have to watch and see. Poor thing.

There's more to all the stress surrounding Misty, but that's another matter I'd rather not get into. It has to do with another person. Anyway, Pam and I are trying to figure out how to resolve the matter and we keep hitting a brick wall. I hope you don't mind, but I am begging for prayers to help the situation .... I know it's hard to pray for something you're not sure of the facts.... but please can I just say, pray for the situation in this house involving Misty, and barking. I know it doesn't sound like much, but there is so much more to it, and it's tearing us up.

Thank you so much, you have no idea how much we need your help.


Okay before I get all teary-eyed... here's a few pics of Auntie's little angels..... Auntie being ME.




Misty and Lady (or "Bugs") visiting upstairs at Auntie's tonight.



With their Mom, my sister Pammie. Pam and I were playing crib, desperate to try and relax.



The two sweetest little things this side of heaven.


Okay on to another topic. Tomorrow (Saturday) is hubby's birthday party here. I'm making roast pork, my famous sour cream/dill smashed spuds, and carrots and corn. And sister Brenda is making her famous coleslaw with apple and toasted almonds, and her own dressing. Hubby wants an ice cream cake so he's getting that while he's out during the day. So as usual it'll be just our family coming.

I'm stressed to the max and need to get some sleep, it's after midnight so I had best try to get to bed right away. Thank you for "being here" with me tonight as I type this. In spirit, I know you are with me...... Take good care of each other, and PEACE be yours,

Love Jude
