Good news and gratitude

       

This will be brief because I am having computer problems tonight, but I wanted to shout out a big dose of gratitude to the many who read my blog and have expressed concern, good wishes, and prayers for my Sophie. Today, Sophie saw a doggie internist who diagnosed her problem as diabetes to which she has not responded as most dogs do. She will be spending a few days at the doggie hospital, and we are all hopeful of a full recovery, though she will have to have insulin injections twice a day for the rest of her life.

     Last night, we had about given up all hope and were preparing ourselves for the inevitable. But Jordan wanted to take her to the specialist who sees their Cavalier spaniels for cardiac problems. Thanks to Jordan and Christian, who are well known at the clinic, we were able to get an appointment. Jamie came over from Frisco and drove Jordan, Sophie, and me to the appointment--dogs are obviously family members for us and severe illness is a family affair. I am so grateful.
