I've been meaning to update everyone on Marley. Chris @faerywings asked me about her today, so I decided to post and let everyone know. She is going strong - it's like a true miracle! You'd never know there was anything wrong with her. She's her old playful, mischievous, clown self. Thank you ALL for your doggie prayers and all of the good thoughts when she was so sick!
We have to be very carefly with her though, because her blood won't clot if she gets cut or even eats something that might cut her gums. That's the hardest part, because she's a "chewer" and loves to romp outdoors. She comes flying down the hill if she sees me on the front porch or out in the yard. It's just like old times. As you know, I had a doggie St. Francis of Assisi medal over nighted and Ava took it to Tulsa and put it right on her. I believe that helped a lot. (I believe in things like that, though and one of our dogs lived for several years, after the doctor said there was nothing else to be done. He wore that medal for the rest of his life.)
We're more than cautiously optimistic now and hoping and praying that Marley will be with us for a few more years, if not longer.
