Thank you! The changes are so drastic in some of the pups.

We are 3 weeks and 1 day between seizures. We are holding our breath as they come 2.5-3 weeks apart like clock work and our nerves are high. Lots and lots of extra love and making sure to say goodbye every day as the only day I had never said goodbye to Rumely in the morning was the day we found him passed away. That still haunts me. We are all slowly adjusting to life without our boy. It has already been a month as of today. I can't believe it. It still hurts like someone ripped a part of me out.

On a happier note, the sun is out and the sky is mostly blue. It has been quite some time since seeing the blue sky or the sun.

With all of the sadness and loss this year my family hasn't really been in the Christmas spirit. I completely understand and have been there before. For whatever reason I feel like everything we've been through the last couple of months has made me want to be more thankful for what and who we do have and be more in the spirit than usual.... I'm not sure. But today I decided I would go to my parents house to cook some meals for my grandma and aunt to help them out. Grandma doesn't eat a lot and hasn't seemed interested in food since gpa passed and aunt just broke her foot not too long ago and needs a bit of help getting things done and the rest of my family has been the ones who mostly help out since we are further away and work further away and such. We made some chicken baked ziti in a big pan for my parents freezer as gma spends time split between her house and theirs for now. A mini one for gma at her house. Several little ones for my aunt. Some stir fry for my parents for dinner tonight. Tons and tons of cookies for Christmas and some chicken meals for microwaving with a chicken breast. Potato and veggie in a container. now making stir fry for dinner for us lol yummm! Made sone for my parents to have for dinner so mom didn't have to cook a ton just cook the ingredients together and add soy sauce. Tada!

The stir fry was amazing as usual lol.

We have some really tired pups as well as they got to enjoy the time at gmas and gpas with me and spent all day helping my dad outside lol.

I hope the weather will be a bit warmer tomorrow than today so I can get updated pictures of the goats.. Outside.... They have been locked in the barn for "too long" and are getting stir crazy.

Ohhh!!.....they are just plum 'Tuckered Out' it looks like......I bet those goats are too!!....mine get that way if it rains more than a day here and they are 'Housebound'...they won't even let me shut the doors on the house....they like playing with the 'Swinging' things....Crazy 'Beasts'...
