lately (beau & sk).

oh what a day.

on a positive note, sarah kate is doing great!  sweet as pie - still spunky but in a good way.  whew.  we'll just leave it at that.  i'm now a firm believer of reverse psychology and i'd hate to speed up the next episode with too much bragging about good behavior. ha!

good behavior equaled plenty of pool time at mimi's.....




back to today....

beau has been doing well.  he has been stabilized and was set to start an important new heart disease med within the next week.  but after having a really bad night last night i took him in to the vet today and they rushed the med delivery so that he can start them tomorrow.  the fluid was back on his lungs and his breathing was labored.  they gave him another shot of the diuretics which has helped him so much!  i'm thinking we'll get some rest tonight.  last night was like having a newborn again!  i was up constantly with a pacing, panting and unsettled beau.  i felt so bad for him!  the vet reminded me today that she still usually sees dogs make it about another 6 months to a year after this diagnosis.  maybe i'm in denial (well, i guess i'm totally in denial) but i feel like this new med will really work well for him and he will live on longer!  she said that that was certainly possible.  i don't think they want to get our hopes up so they tell us the worst.  i just love my little guy so much!  he may have "over done it" at my parent's house this past weekend.  although the vet said to let him be a dog, i think he enjoys being a dog a little too much while down on the farm.  well, ups and downs are to be expected and he had a blast down there!  

hunting....

we had such a great time in folkston this past weekend!  ava and bryce had a very fun and cute birthday celebration at mimi & papa's pool.  i'll blog about that soon.  i have alot of pics to go through!

one of my favorites so far.....

love those girls!
