The biggest news of this week is that Dixie the dog had to have surgery to remove bladdar stones yesterday. Two days after she arrived, I noticed blood in her urine. She's had a urinary tract infection before, so I took her to the vet thinking it was the same. Unfortunately, the vet found stones in her bladdar and recommended surgery. After talking to her, some investigating and talking to a different vet...it was the only thing to do. So, yesterday morning, I walked her down to the vets office and she had the surgery. She is ok now, groggy from pain medicine and sore and stiff, but she is ok. The hardest thing for me is carrying her fat self up and down the stairs to go out! Bless her heart... And bless mine, too!

Thankfully, our other furry friend, RickyBobby has adjusted incredibly well. He spends his days playing with the kids and me, investigating all that is going on out of the windows and napping in various places all over this house. I cannot believe it, but he has not been begging at the doors and windows and he hasn't really seemed bothered by being in all the time. A real blessing, truly. We were all prepared for sleepless nights and a miserable cat and a terrible adjustment. But each night, he has piled up with one of us and gone to sleep....all night. Truly remarkable.
