Poor Puppy

My sweet little Chance hasn’t been well these last few days. Without going into too much gross detail, and I wouldn’t want to embarrass him, he had an anal glad issue. He was very sad, uncomfortable and it broke my heart. Thankfully we have a great vet that took good care of him, and he is on the road to recovery. However, I’m pretty sure he is now manipulating us. Walking must be uncomfortable because he just sits down and stares.  So, when he is thirsty, he pants and one of us goes running for his water bowl, when he comes in from outside, we dry his paws and then carry him to the couch. Now I realize this is PATHETIC but if we don’t, he just stays at the door and doesn’t move and then everyone is sad. It’s amazing what we do for our animals!
Anyways, bottom line, Chance is running our household and we love him to pieces!

ONEder Fund!

I have said it before, and I will say it again. Kelle Hampton is one wicked person! I have talked about her before, because she is an inspiration, an awesome mom, a wicked role model and who am I kidding, I wish we were friends.  I read her blog daily and every day she continues to inspire me.
These last few days have been no exception.  Her youngest daughter, Nella,  who has Down Syndrome is turning one and in additional to planning what will probably be the best first birthday party EVER, she is also paying it forward.  She is raising money for Down Syndrome, in a fundraising effort called Nella’s ONEder Fund. Check it out and donate if you can. Kelle’s Blog is open and honest and not only is she choosing happiness she is also choosing to make a difference.
My mom is also a huge Kelle Hampton supporter and the other day she said to me “I think Kelle’s Blog came into our lives for a reason.”  I couldn’t agree more.  She makes me want to be a better person.
Happy Tuesday!
