Let me say that I am sorry that I have been missing in action for a while. Things have been a bit crazy lately with what seems like EVERYTHING in my life, so I had to give up some of the things that occupy my time. One of those things, and something that I enjoy very much, was writing. More specifically, writing here on my blog. I am sorry for the lack of presence, but hope to rebound soon once I get through the next couple of weeks.
She is doing much better than the last few time I wrote about her. The road has been long and winding, but she is in a good place right now. Besides a few old dog aliments, and the loss of some hair from the high dose of steroids she is on, she is no worse for wear.
She has been spending a lot of time outdoors with us, as we enjoy the summer and our new patio. She usually lays out on her bed that we place in the shade, but on a rare occasion you may find her sleeping on Mommy's lap. Maybe just for a few short minutes, but she'll take what she can get!
Her overall apatite has been pretty good. The doggie dementia is still present and effecting the way she eats. We have to entice her to start eating by touching the food to her lips, but once she fights it and then tastes it, she is ready to chow down. The eating has been the roughest part of this whole change she is going through. We just want her to be happy and as healthy as she can possibly be. We think eating, or nourishment, is essential to her hippieness and comfort. We are prepared and have in the past, blended her food before feeding it to her in a syringe. Hopefully we are past that point for a little while.
A few weeks ago we took a trip down to my parents house. They live in the lower end of Delaware near the beach. My wife and I needed a break from reality and no better place to go but down south for a little R&R and maybe a few drinks too (wink wink). Molly has been going there for years and looks forward to spending time at their house. She does most of what she normally would do at home, which includes a whole lot of sleeping. lol. She finds the corner of the couch where most of the pillows are kept, and makes herself right at home.
One things for sure though, there's no place like home. She always enjoys getting back home to see if anything has changed. Nope! Nothing has and she is right back into the swing of things. Now only if I could dive right back into what used to be my normal life. I Guess things change. Sometimes for the good and sometimes for the bad. We are all just passengers on this ride called 'Life'. Hopefully during our ride, and yours as well, there is more of the good and less of the bad.
A place for people who Love Orchids!
