Tuesday March 2

Bad weather on the way ... husband got up and let dogs out before rain started, let Ginger in for meds, took dogs on brief run down hill while I fixed food, joined him and fed and kenneled all ... then started raining ... decided to not go on the road to the 'north' today after looking on the Net and seeing the weather pattern, decided to take Ginger on in to town for CBC and to pick up antibiotics before heavier rain got here ... dressed her in her green plaid fleece, got bloodwork done (Ginger her usual ladylike polite self, greeted the other dogs including a beautiful but rude set of goldens, greeted the staff and vet with wagging tail and kisses), she now weighs in at 49 lbs! (this is actually a pound over her last pre illness weight) picked up more Clavamox, stopped and got more coffee (we were out of coffee, not a good thing to be out of in this weather), sandwiches at Arby's (Ginger got the roast beef, no bread), returned home. Let Ginger inside as it is really dreadful out, still no ice but around 36 degrees and rain. Gave her another snack (eggs and ground chicken), called work, yep, they've had icing and sleet there. Glad I decided to stay on this side of the 'freeze line'.

Found a wonderful site on the Net where you can light a virtual candle ... Ginger's candle is at http://www.gratefulness.org/candles/message.cfm?l=eng&cid=10308561.

Good news! Oncologist office just called, her WBC is up to 15,000, which is normal, no need to continue antibiotics!

Uhoh, the rain is turning to sleet and snow .... quick, fix dogs' food, get Ginger medicated, get her out to the kennels .... maybe it'll slack up later, maybe not. Going to post this now in case we lose the Net (or power).... thank you all for your continuing prayers and presence in our lives, I am eternally grateful for your kindness and compassion...
