Becca is still highly excited about her doggie in training. She carries the pictures I printed for her literally 24/7. Sleeps with them and takes them everywhere. Occasionally she sets the book down and then forgets where it is. Everything stops till we locate it for her once again.
My apologies for leaving you out in the dark for so long. I have been down with an acute respiratory illness for two and a half weeks. I have not seen anything that bad since Becca had pertussis in 1990. Thankfully she had a much milder illness this time only lasting five days and not one tenth as violent as what I endured. This past week (as I have been regaining my strength) has been spent catching up on the never ending sport of paper work. You all know the drill; bills, medical forms, junk mail, etc…
Things are progressing well towards our August due date. November 6th I had the chance to share about 4 Paws for Ability with our parent support group. We had a woman promise a large kennel for us, another friend said I could put the money I owed her for a plane ticket towards our current needs, a third friend did all the leg work for those eighty shirts I need to help train the dogs to seizure alert so when a good deal came along at Joanne Fabrics I knew it was the best price available and moved on the sale. Would have missed that oportunity with out Jeanne’s help because I was way to sick to even start looking myself.
Today I had a phone call. There is local family who had decided a couple years ago to pool the money they would spend on small gifts for extended family members and choose a cause/charity to give it to each year. They have chosen to help us! We will put the money towards fencing the yard this coming spring so it will be ready for our service dog.
God is Good and the love of his people overwhelming.
I am still very tired will write again.
