Guess who's back?

He's back. Yes, I mean Spanky. Long story short - this little cutie pants came into our home just before we went on our cruise. My friend called and asked if I wanted him, that he followed her son home from school. She had 5 dogs of her own, so I went and got him. We named him Spanky. Then, a week and a half later we went on vacation and he spent some time with Chris and Kelly and their two dogs. He acted up while there. See, he's not been neutered (soon to change), so he humps and pees and poops all over everything. So, we get back from vacation, and two weeks later we had a yard sale. Spanky had used the potty all over my house, and we decided to find a good home for him. Plus, he and Bagel were having relations every chance they could. So, this nice couple took him home. That was a month ago. I was sad, but I figured they would take good care of him. Didn't get their names, numbers, anything, but my tag with his name and my number was still around his neck. Fastforward to this past Thursday. I get a call from a lady in Beech Bluff (LONG way from my house, but still in Jackson), and she asks if I have a black and white dog. I panic thinking it's Darcy, but then I realized it was Spanky. So Clint said to go get him and I went and got him. I'm not sure if those other people put him out or he ran away. I haven't seen where he's been reported missing, so I suppose he's here to stay. He has an appointment to get his manhood removed on Monday. I guess it's God's will for Spanky to live with us!

Prayer Request

Hi everyone. As most of you know, my sweet sweet 86 year old grandmother, who we call Puddon, was diagnosed in early September with colon cancer. She began chemo about two weeks later and was actually able to complete six weeks of chemo and radiation. She did really well the first half of it, but then she got dehydrated and needed fluids, then two units of blood, and then fluids again. She finished last week and got a diploma (really? I can't believe they give those out for this), but she is not doing very well. She's in a lot of pain and having to take pain pills round the clock. Every time I talk to her, she sounds worse and worse. She goes this Saturday for a PET scan to determine how much of the cancer the chemo/radiation got. She will find out the results on December 2. Clint and I are going home next week for the holidays, and trust me, Wednesday cannot come soon enough. I'm so homesick that, well, I'm sick. I'm asking you all to please keep her in your prayers, and pray that she recovers from this and regains her strength. Also please pray that the results of the PET scan are good so that she does not have to have a colostomy, which after all of this, I don't think she's going to do anyway. She said she hasn't lost any of her hair, but last night when I talked to her, she was hoping to be able to get her hair done today. She said it doesn't have a perm but that she'll just wear the straight look for a while...I can't imagine that b/c I've only ever seen her with a perm! Thank you so much for your prayers! Here's a picture of her back in April when she competed in her last Senior Olympics.

Under the Weather

Yes, Clint and I are under the weather. We have a nasty cold, at least I hope that's all it is. I got sick first, and was sick as a dog during my jury trial on Wednesday. Then Clint started to feel bad today. So, I've been hibernating except for court appearances. Hopefully we will get better this weekend. If you haven't heard from us, that's probably why!
