First of all, I really named my puppy for my mom. She was born Patricia Louise, baptised Patricia Louise, and somewhere along the line someone got confused and it became Patricia Lucille: hence the name Lucy Lou for Lucille Louise, My mom had her cancer surgery Oct 13th 06 and we found out at that timne that she was stage 3. (My cousin, Susan, said the doctor said "the far side of stage 3" but I didn't hear that. The next day, even though my dad had told the gardener to make the back yard dog safe, my dog Bailey got out and I never saw him again. I grieved in silence as there was so much going on with my mom but I loved that dog so much. I had rescused him from someone who was taking him to the pound. Months later, I got Lucy Lou and the rest is history. I picked her up from the emergency hospital and transferred her to the emergency clinic for overnight observation and continued treatment on the advice of the vet. She was listless but with the heartbeat of a marathon runner. She is now at the emergency clinic overnight still receiving fluids and being monitored and I miss her so. Today has been a day of sobbing because of the overload and reliving the sense of and possibility of loss. Lucy Lou has been the one to give me momnents of laughing in spite of the loss of my monm and it is just one too many bad things going on. I'm still working of getting the frigging house sold and life just feels too much. I had a grieving counseling appt. with hospice today that I had to cancel as I was getting Lucy taken care of, It's just all too much.

My goal was to live to retire and I guess having to take early retirement because of health reasons wasn't exactly the way I had planned things. I just can't stay in that building that is reeking mildew...

I'm trying to exercise daily. I was doing fairly well until I sprained my ankle 2 weeks ago but now I'm getting back on the horse. Today I walked over a mile with my arm weights that are about 22lbs total. I was out of shape and it was hard on my arms. I also did my 30 situps. I'm also going to drink a lot of water and try to eat healthy. I do tend to have a sweet tooth but I'm cutting...
If the gardner was told previously to make the yard animal friendly and this happened, I would have to fire the gardener!
I'm glad things are working out for you and Lucy Lou.
