October 24 — Gratitude
Today I’m really grateful for: 1. All of my friends who came to visit this weekend. It’s wonderful to have such heart-felt support!

Life on Hold? Martyr??
A wonderful friend came to visit last night — not sure if it was more to visit Maggie or me 🙂 either way I’m so glad she did. We had a conversation that has transformed my outlook on life! For that I’m eternally grateful!! As we were sitting on the kitchen floor with Maggie (not […]

Maggie and Tara slept with me last night. Gave Maggie a Tremedal at 11:45 p.m. to help her get through the night. She wanted out at 1:30 a.m. — not sure why…whether to chase something or because she still had some diarhrea. Of course she went right back to sleep! I on the other hand […]
October 23 — Gratitude
I’m finding the more challenging the day, I take the time to write my Gratitudes. There can be little doubt that taking this time to re-focus on the things I’m grateful for has a healing and re-energizing effect on me. Helps me draw on the inner and spiritual strengths I’m finding I need more and […]
October 23 — Pet Illness Symptoms
Maggie and Tara slept with me all night — started taking Maggie upstairs a few nights ago. Maggie had to go outside for bowel movements at 1:30 a.m. and at 3:30 a.m. It begins with her sitting up on the bed and panting and staring at me until I do something. Maggie will go down the […]

Maggie slept downstairs all night. Woke up a few times, wondering if I should go down and check on her — knew that would wake Tara up and then she’d want to go outside and then Maggie would want to go outside….decided to ‘let sleeping dogs lie’ as my Dad used to say. Had a […]

Both Maggie and Tara slept with me last night. When I went up to bed Maggie was on the loveseat. Asked her if she wanted to come up and she didn’t move. Came up about 5 minutes later…wondering if she doesn’t like the stairs…. Had a wonderful night!!! Everyone slept til 5 a.m. Checked them […]
October 19 — Gratitude
Am struggling today with gratitude…Maggie’s lump is getting bigger and her movement more restricted and I haven’t slept well for a few days…weeks….I do realize how important Gratitude is for Maggie, Tara and I, so here goes: 1. The sunshine and good weather so that Maggie can go outside when she wants in relative comfort […]
October 19 — Pet Illness Symptoms
Both Maggie and Tara slept on my bed last night. Maggie seemed in pain, moving around to get comfortable so gave her another dose of Bryonia 200 ch and a Tremedal at 1:11 a.m. I was awake between 3:30 and 5 and she seemed to be sleeping well. She let me carry her downstairs this a.m. She […]
