Sunny and colder this AM, but still lovely ... let all out for AM run, Ginger very frisky today, took off like a red flash ... one of husband's workers arrived and threw the ball for Snoopy, so she didnt join us in the run down the hill ... DB, Banshee, Ginger and I sat and watched the neighbor's horses again, then back up the hill, gave Ginger meds, fed and kenneled, went to work ... husband reports the dogs 'ran him to death' today, insisting he stop work and play with them ... returned home (hooray, I get an hour of daylight in the evening now!) and was met at the gate by husband and 5 dogs (little Mattie had come over from next door) ... gave all treats, proceeded back to trailer, changed clothes, fixed food, then took all for evening run ... Snoopy and Mattie competing to catch the ball (even when I threw it in the pond...) Ginger watching them play, then exploring the 'cave' under the old chinaberry tree roots ... her whole head stuck in there, red tail wagging madly ... then she's off! a bird (whose nest she was too near, no doubt) dive bombed at her chattering, Ginger leaps up and chases the bird, wholands on the highest branch of another tree ... so Ginger goes into 'setter stance' (as if the rest of us hadn't noticed it yet ...) then up towards the front for some acorns, back to the trailer to get food, feed and kennel, give everyone chewies (Mattie takes hers and comes back to the porch to finish before she trots off home). A good day! Let Ginger back in for evening meds and snack, and opened our present (more on this below)...
Thank you all for your continuing prayers and messages (and the wonderful birthday cards and messages! )....and a special thanks to Rebecca and Angel Kibo (who battled lymphoma for years, and left this earth February 23) ... when I got home from work this evening, there was a present waiting for me and Ginger ... some of Kibo's supplements that Rebecca had so very kindly offered to share with those of us still battling the beast ... with a beautiful card with one of the photos of Kibo in his last week on this earth, enjoying the water at his beach ... oh Rebecca what an absolutely WONDERFUL memorial to your Kibo this was, I will treasure the card forever .. I HOPE and pray that Ginger will get to use ALL the supplements, but, if not, I too will 'pass them on'...
A friend sent this to me ... I wanted to share with you all ..."What Cancer Cannot Do: It cannot invade the soul, suppress memories, kill friendship, destroy peace, conquer the spirit, shatter hope, cripple love, corrode faith, steal eternal life, silence courage." The new friends I have made on this journey and the old friends who have stuck by me and Ginger ... what a true blessing this has been. God is good.
