Ever Hear of the $6 Million Man?
Well, it's been quite the week àround here!
Dylan started his Senior year of high school! He was also accepted to NAU (Northern Arizona University)! Still working at his job at the local speakeàsy.
Aidan started his junior year. He also got his first job at Jack in the Box!
Jackson started 6th grade! Middle school already?? He's feeling great. He certainly has more energy than I do, sigh.
Bryce, when did our new third grader get to be so grown-up?
And now for the reason for this week title:
As you may have noticed, we certainly love our 4-legged children. This week has been a testament to that fact.
Thank goodness things are now slightly improved but still a bit tense. Sunshine, 10-ish with bad kidneys, started feeling poorly. Long story short, 2 days of IV lots of fluids, blood work and trying not to do anything but pray and think only positive thoughts. Our girl is back home.
But wait, there's more! Our vet bill came to about $750! That was after the 5% senior discouǹt. Then another $50 in medicine. Good thing we our homebodies!
That said, she ate her breakfast this morning before the appetite stimulant, went to the bathroom twice and looks much better.
Some might not agree with our expenditure -that's okay for them.
Looking at her comfortably snoozing on her dad's recliner with her favorite blanket is all we need to know that we made the right decision for for us.
Remember, 2 years ago we were told we'd lose her in 4-8 months. We a are blessed that we have her and hope it's for a long, long time.
