Good gravy.... 8 hours to mow all that?!? 55 acres?!? That is so much space! Jasper and I would settle for 1 acre!!! (we have a 650 sqft apt)! Where is all this land? I forget, are you in the midwest or the south or the east coast?Â
I LOVE the middle names!!! They are beautiful and I am glad to see little miss Meesha Rae is doing MUCH better (albeit no poops) but you got to visit. I am sure she will be super happy to get home and cuddled up with you, big sis and the hub-a-dub!Â
That is very scary what you all went through so thank you for sharing your story with us... glad everyone is on the mend and the stress levels might be coming down ... drink more wine and eat more chocolate!Â
Much love!!!Â

Our story: Broke rear leg in June 2013 - non-conclusive results for cancer so leg was plated and pinned. Enlarged spleen in September 2013 and had it removed and was diagnosed with Hemangiosarcoma and started chemotherapy. Became a Tripawd January 8th, 2014 and definitive Hemangiosarcoma diagnosis. Three major surgeries in 7 months and Shelby took them all like a champ only to lose her battle to cancer in her brain. We had 8 amazing extra months together and no regrets. #shelbystrong #loveofmylife
Alison, you are the sweetest thing!
I live in TN about an hour east of Nashville way out in the country. We kid that we have to climb the pole to use the phone.
Any-hoo, I can't speak enough about our vet. They called me several times a day, even after hours to give me updates on Meesha. They're encouraging me to take her home to get her back to her routine.

Harmony became a Tripawd on 10/21/14 (MCT). She left us way too soon on 11/1/14.

Good-God-Gurdy, yep, it's been one of "those" days!!!
I'll be glad to get our girl home this afternoon. I put carpet in the bottom of her crate so she would be less apt to eat (praying). If anyone's got any suggestions on how to keep her from chewing up (and swallowing) everything I'm all ears!!

MELODY ROSE!!! MEESHA RAE!!! Love them!! PERFECT!!
Sooooo glad she's coming home and the vets are giving her the thumbs up. Gosh...sooooo scary! You guys were spot on to take her to the vet when you did. Itsw so easy to write off throwingnup as nothing serious and to ride it out. Thank goodness you acted quickly.
Can't wait to hear about the homecoming...pictures, video and all!!
Happy Hannah had a glorious additional bonus time of over one yr & two months after amp for osteo! She made me laugh everyday! Joined April's Angels after send off meal of steak, ice cream, M&Ms & deer poop!
Just catching up on some posts here..... So glad Meesha is doing well and got through this scary and stressful ordeal, very scary when our pups eat things they aren't supposed to, I have been down that road a few times myself, but thankfully no surgeries involved, knock-on-wood.......
She will be so glad to be back home with you, and I know you will be so glad as well ! 🙂
Love,
Bonnie, Angel Polly, and new girls
