Pobrecita!!

My poor baby girl got hurt this week! Mark was playing with her in the field like we do every day. She was having a blast chasing her frisbee and her tennis ball when she walked up to Mark ready for another chase and he noticed her foot had blood on it. He examined it and she had split her toe nail!! Of course he immediately called me and I asked him to bring her to work for Dr. R to look at her. It was not too bad, her toe nail just needed to be clipped back and then bandaged untill bedtime. It was the much needed Elisabethan Collar that really got to her. She was so pitiful!! All night she acted as if she was being punished with the forelorn looks and the refusal to eat her dinner. She did not seem to mind the collar. Everytime we had to put it back on her she sat still and and lifted her chin for us, but after it was velcroed in place the eyes would droop and the tongue would slowly come out and go back in again. She layed around all evening pouting. Finally, bedtime came and it was time to take the bandage off. She was very good and sat very still for me. Mark had to hold her head so she would stop licking my hands as I was working on unwrapping the very well taped up bandage! The very second she new her imprisionment was over, she started racing around and wanting to play. Of course she had to get in a cat chase before being banished to her crate for the night! All in all she is just fine and back to her annoying self!!

I just want to thank the Lord for this beautiful Spring He has given us! The air is clear and warm and there is not a cloud in the sky.

Lots of busy days ahead of us! Mark will be walking on May 1, 2009 and May 3rd will be our one year anniversary!! The house hunting begins shortly after next weekend in Tuscaloosa. Keep us in your prayers that we will be able to find good housing that will allow our Rottie and that is in our price range. Oh, and the packing has begun! Thankfully it will not be too bad because we never really fully unpacked!

The Lord has been so good to us to guide us where He wants us to be. The move to Tuscaloosa was not our first choice, but it is were God wants us to be and we are looking forward to the move.
