Hello everyone. First I would like to thank everyone for their kind words, wishes, donations, loans and thoughts. You have no idea how much it has meant to me, touched my heart, and kept me going throughout these long days. As you know, Angel had her surgery on Tuesday, I'm so happy to tell you that she is doing GREAT. I have never seen her play like this before. She used to be a loaner, didn't want to play with the other kids, now she engages them, jumps, and dooks and is so much happier. I can't tell you have wonderful that is to see. She has also figure out how to get by me and into the sleeper sofa! I do not have enough money for Pip's surgery as of yet. The vet has offered to let me pay 1/2 in the two weeks before the surgery, and the other 1/2 in the month following. I'm going to figure out a way to do it, just don't know how yet, but I will do it. As for me, I'm getting over my bronchitis, still on antibiotics but feeling better. My work load has picked up at work so I'm busier than ever. Working about 65 - 70 hours now. I look forward to the day when I can just relax and not do a darn thing. My husband was released from the hospital on Wednesday and is now working on his recovery at home. He is not expected to be able to return to work for at least another month or two. And then he needs to find a new position because he lost his old one due to his illness (we have a lawsuit pending on discrimination of disability). I just wanted to give everyone an update, I have received so many wonderful notes of support and friendship. Many people complimented me on my apology to Lisette, I did what was only right, admit I was wrong and apologize. I think we need to teach our children this basic rule! And here is my cute story: I got up this morning and Ozzy is beating the hell out of Angel. Now poor Angel just had the tip of her tail removed and I'm pampering her like you wouldn't believe. So I tell Ozzy NO and separate them for a few minutes. Put Ozzy back in and wait....nothing, so I leave the room. 2 seconds later I hear Angel screaming again. I run back in again, tell him NO, pull Angel out and am about to walk away with her when I see Ozzy scratching the bottom of the food dish looking really ticked off. Now the food dish is raised from the bottom of the cage because Luna is a digger. I think, hummm, food must be empty, but I can see food, so I go and look in the dish really good. SOMEONE PEED IN THE FOOD. Now I'm really confused, how could one of them have gotten up there to pee. After much discussion we figured it out. Angel peed on the top shelf, ABOVE the food dish, therefore the pee landed in the food dish and Ozzy is mad at her for it! Can't say that I blame him. Thanks again everyone.
