Greetings My Friend Daisy was scheduled to be groomed today, as we were walking out the front door we received a call from the vet that the groomer was not going to be in today but we could get Daisy bathed and her nails clipped for free so we went ahead and took her in. While she was being cleaned up we went to Lowe's to get some lumber for a project Junior is working on. I walked the store and loved it. I have always loved walking so when my gait issues got bad walking was not possible. Since going on PD medication and being able to walk again I found myself enjoying wandering around the store. Junior decided to pick up a few extra things since it was not going to cost us to have Daisy groomed today or so we thought. When we finished we went to get Daisy, Junior went in while I waited in the truck and I thought that he was taking a long time to pick Daisy up and come out. I soon found out that the Vet decided to do Daisy's yearly checkup since it was slow and she was there, there went that money we thought we had gained and then some. For a while now we noticed that Daisy's one eye was getting clouded rather badly we thought it was cataracts but it turns out that it is pressure in her eye due to some bad teeth at the back of her mouth. We got medication for that and she has an infection in the other eye and we received medication for that. Daisy is scheduled to have her teeth cleaned and to be groomed in another 2 weeks. I was upset and then I was grateful that the Vet did give Daisy her checkup. I was told a few years ago that Daisy has dry eye and to give her eye drops for that. We are to stop this and start giving her drops to make tears. With all of this the Vet believes she will see better and this makes me happy for her. Other than our budget being blown I am grateful we are able to help our little Daisy. She has helped me regain my momentum as I have gone through so many health challenges so I am happy to be able to make her life a bit better with her health challenges. Junior and I love all of our dogs and cats but we each have one dog that comes alongside of us. Brendy will fuss with Junior when he is working too late at night, she sits right at his side as he drives around town with her and it almost looks like he has a girlfriend alongside of him in the truck. Biggie claims me in the recliner and Cinnamon loves watching out for the other little guys. She follows the new babies around making sure they are okay. Val is the Daddy of all the pets. Recently Grey our newest kitten was running around a little too much. I walked into the dinning room to see Val with his paw on Grey staring down at her. He was letting her know he was in charge and she needed to slow down. Phineas thinks we have nothing better to do than to sit for hours petting him and rubbing on him. Roscoe refuses to leave the spare bedroom for long and is always begging us to come pet him. Jack is busy playing with Grey or off hunting mice. Junior said that he has seen some mice around the property and in the house. I have not and I am grateful. I miss Alex's dead socks he would bring up out of the basement when we lived in Michigan. I can't believe it has been a year already since he died. We have a family with these fur children, each has their own personality and each is precious. God brought them into our lives and we are thankful for each of them. May God bless you and keep you make His face shine on you. Love Janet
