[Blackboy98]

Have not hear from her in a while. Hope she is OK and doing better.

[POPTOP]

Have not even seen much of her on Facebook. Wonder how she is doing.

I think she's probably somewhere celebrating after I read this today.

George Zimmerman allegedly punched in face after discussing Trayvon Martin

It would be nice to know that she and all her family are doing well and just too busy enjoying life for her to spend much time here. But yes, bett, please feel free to give us an update!

I've see a few posts on facebook lately, but not much.

[Rosy]

I think she is okay, and doing well.

nancy, our birthday girl, told me on Facebook i should appear and fill you guys in.
ok, today because the barometer is bouncing all over might not be the best day but....still going to PT, (once a week) and the gym daily. tho i cant play tennis, I'm sure my legs are like the Williams sisters. getting better. had to get a heel lift on the good (not supposed to say that, supposed to say "non operated leg") because of all things, my leg is shorter than the other. so, no limp.
the incision, after all the hardware was removed, still bothers me on the ankle bone . seems it's soft tissue attached to the bone so the therapist is doing whatever it is they do, and i think i am like rice krispies when he's working on me. snap crackle and pop.
shoes-still an issue. only one pair of channel ballet type shoes don't hit the incision so I've been living in either sneakers, which hit the area but i deal with it, or sandals, which believe it or not, dr said is ok.
last dr visit, he had me walk down the hall, in the sandals, shouting "faster faster" and thinks i am just awesome. actually, he and the pt both said they never had a patient work as hard as me, to get better. i mean, they shouldn't get carried away, it is 20 months of daily machines, and exercises, just for the ankle, achilles tendon and hamstring (that is the killer for me now). much better without all the metal but still, when the barometer moves, i am not happy. nights pretty much stink but i guess after a whole day.....

on to the dogs. vangie is good. eli is a strong bully, drags vane around the house by her head, throat, leg, body, you name it and she lets him. somehow, tho he knows to stay away from jake, who sadly, is losing his battle with LP. rear end frail, falls down the steps often, sphincter not perfect tho i have him on chinese herbs from pawhealer.com-for lots of things, including senility. my poor boy is senile, deaf, and losing it. i came in the other day and he was standing in the bathroom, facing the wall. that's it. just facing the wall. deaf doesnt help either. not sure he really knows me, tho nick who lives in fantasy land, thinks he's ok, and knows us. you know how labs can sweep everything off the cocktail table with a wag of the tail? well, that's not how jake wags anymore. a low wag, just the tip. too sad so I'm not talking about it anymore. it's not time. yet. but i cant see him lasting much longer. he will be, hopefully, 14 in oct.. I'm so sad about him and worry daily. especially when i have to help him up and down, without me falling pushing him up or holding him going down. i hate a split level house more and more every day.

and nick doesnt believe me, but no more. cant do this again and again. maybe i'll foster and pray not to get attached. or not. don't know but it's too sad.im hoping since our weather now is most horrific, that he lasts till jack, comes home from camp on sat.

ok, i think i filled you guys in. haven't been on at all, really.
and yes, george got himself in trouble once again. it won't be the last time.

interesting campaign, huh? i guess we shouldn't go there either.
i never......that says it all .

hope everyone forgives me for not being around but not such good dog stuff to discuss so i stay away. sad.

to all my friends, i hope everyone is ok, and pooches too. some i see on Facebook. one of these days i'll be back. maybe now check out some other stuff. but thanks for caring and wondering about me. much appreciated.

love ya"

Thanks for the update Betty. You know we are all praying and sending the best mojo we got!!

Hey Betty! Glad to hear how well you are doing, keep it up! I am really sorry to hear about Jake though. If it's any comfort, 14 for a Lab is amazing.

[Scoutpout]

Thanks so much for popping back in to update us. It really really sucks when they get old and their bodies are failing them... i hated seeing that in my boys. but after 3 months with just Mags left, and then after he was gone for 6 months, i couldn't stand the empty quiet clean house any longer. I know i'm going to hurt horribly again, but i just can't be without the furry beasts.

You are amazing! i know you're not where you want to be physically, but wow, all your hard work has surely paid off in where you are at!
