Fawn




Pilling Pup #3

We welcomed another pup into our family over the weekend. We had a long weekend of packing and moving into our new home. I was driving to our old place picking up a load of small boxes when this little brown pup ran out in front of my car. I parked my car and followed her into a strangers yard. It took me about 5 mins to get her to trust me than I wrapped her in a sweat shirt and started to look for her owner. I found who her owner "was" but did not take her back due to abuse reasons. 

I noticed she had been limping and was covered in fleas. I called my husband and was waiting for him to say no way!! Before I even had the chance to explain my husband said bring her home. I am so blessed to have such a compassionate loving husband! I brought her home, gave her 4 flea bathes or what I thought would rid her of the fleas. I used two different shampoo's that claimed it killed fleas. All I did was dry her poor skin out :(  We took her to the Vet the next day updated all her shots and she is flea free! The down side we found out she has a leg injury that requires Surgery. We are in the process of setting up a date so we can fix her poor leg. She has fit right into our family and is a HUGE daddy's girl. 

All 4 of our animals are rescue's but to be honest they rescued me!


I named her Fawn because she looks just like a baby deer

Thankful

Life before my family is an instant blur and I don't know how I ever lived without my boys? They make my heart a thankful heart and they are home.










Happy 9 Years to Me!


9 years ago today I was waking up from major liver and kidney surgery. I spent a year of my life in and out of the hospital every week. After 4 MRI's,3 Biopsy's, 2 CAT scans,4 admissions into the hospital and a dozen of blood test's they figured out what was wrong. Going in for such a major surgery at such a young age was the most terrifying experience of my life. I woke up from surgery with my family around me, a team of amazing nurses and one very special doctor. 

9 years later I am here to say I am happy,healthy and very lucky! I am proud of the scars I wear and I will never hide them.
