A beautiful day, sunny but chilly. Ginger bursts out of kennel, raring to go, had a good AM run, gave AM meds, ran, fed and kenneled, went to church. Several members of Ginger's 'fan club' that don't have Net access asked after her, one lady told me about a program she's heard of that places shelter animals with terminal illness in 'hospice' care at foster homes. I deeply admire anyone who can do this, what a wonderful blessing. It is SO true that the animals perk up and get a new lease on life when in a home environment... she also said she didnt think she could do that, or even what I'm doing, caring for my own animal, well, you don't know what you CAN do (with God's help) until you're doing it (or trying to.) Day by day, today is good, so far. Another good run at lunch time, took Ginger's Tshirt off, she rolled in the grass, hunted along the drainage pond edge, ran with the other dogs all along the back fence line and up the side fence, then back inside for lunch (scrambled egg) and a nap, another run late afternoon, Ginger enjoying the warmish weather, Snoopy swimming in the drainage pond, husband and I checking out water damage along fence line (how MUCH more rain before we turn into a swamp???) ... fed and kenneled at sundown, just brought Ginger inside (as its turning cool and I didnt have her sweater on her yet.) She and the Damcat are now chasing each other up and down the hall.... let Ginger out a moment ago and she flew off into the night, returned, drank water, flew off again down to the kennels and woke up all the other dogs, flew back onto the porch, came inside took her evening meds, and is now sacked out snoring at my feet.
Thanks again, so much, for your prayers and support in our journey... God is good, we've had over 2 weeks now with Ginger almost her own self again.
