48th Birthday Celebrations

I had a great Birthday celebration! Got great gifts and cards,DVD,Moosehead Gift Card and a Lottery ticket that paid a dollar!

Bestest of all a HAND-MADE card with a lot of thought and love in it! It was wonderful.

I missed my daughter,Paul and Oliver who couldn't be here cuz he was sick. We missed Shane,Caitlyn,Elinora,Ashes and Nate too who all live so far away. :-(

The sleigh bells are great they remind me of one my Grandma Hayes gave me so long ago.....

The Windsor rocker although to dainty for my big butt is beautiful and feeds my Antique addiction! Thanks Ash for the "Oklahoma" DVD love it!

Thanks for all the food,the cake and great company!

Genevieve there has never been a better gift in my life. Thanks for everything and THANK YOU GOD for all my blessings!

Bittersweet Day today......

Winnie came home today albeit in a pine box.
She resides next to her buddy Bailey but forever in our hearts.

Big scare with our Mastiff Mariah today!

We thought we were going to lose our Mastiff Mariah today.

She all of a sudden started acting like she was in pain,panting,pacing and gagging.

Sure signs of deadly bloat. :-(

My great wife rushed her to the Vet where they too thought it was bloat but that maybe they caught it in time. I am now at home praying for my big girl!

Xrays proved negative,BIG RELIEF,but something was still putting her in distress.

4 Vets and a battery of tests and the only conclusion is Urinary Tract infection Don't get me wrong but HUH?

Actually she got GAS-X too for all the air she panted in! :-)

So she gets pain meds and antibiotics and she will be fine!

Who'd a thunk I would be a wreck and Jenny would be the stalwart one!?

She's the best and I adore and love her!
