~~ Just another quick post, as I am absolutely WORE OUT!! ~~

We had a wonderful Thanksgiving !! Lotz of fun and food - the oldest son did bring the turkey, DEFROSTED - and he even admitted he splurged on it! - And the results were fabulous - yummy yummy, and then after all that , we had fresh pumpkin pie..veges..all the goodies.

But -- we had a disaster just after we got thru with the dinner.

Sara had been pacing back and forth for about a half hour - we didn't think there was anything wrong with her - she'd been outside to do her business, so all that was fine. I was just about to get some pie for tom, when the dog walked into the dining room, and noah took one look at her, and said, "Uhh..Dad - We have a problem.."

Her cancer spot had started to drain badly, and it didn't look good.

I immediately got the vet hosp. on the phone, and in literally a miracle of a moment, got the vet to answer his pager. He told us to wrap the dog with a towel, and bring her in to the hosp immediately.

The vet wasn't even supossed to be in the hosp. that day..

But miracles happen when you least expect them..and we had one on Thanksgiving Night.

The dog got sedated, calmed down, and cleaned up. She was held overnight, and on friday the vet decided to go ahead and operate on the large cancer tumor Sara had on her side, plus a smaller one that had started to develop as well.

Saturday she was able to come home!! YAY !! Let me say again, YAY!! ~~

Miracles happen and we just are so grateful to Him for giving us one with our dog Sara.

I went back to the vet today, a friend drove us to the hosp. - And the Vet is just tickled to pieces with the progress sara has made - she is healing faster than the dr. had thot, and she is breathing somewhat better..(Cept when she gets all excited, but then she calms down and her breathing comes back to normal again..)

We are saying prayers of Thanks!! -- For Sure ~~ And are so glad our dog is with us for awhile more.

We are also starting to get into the swing of the Holidays - I do have some more shopping for the oldest and middle son, but for the most part, they have almost all their presents. YAY!! -- And this weekend, it looks like the rest will get picked up, and then it's the basics for The Husband & Noah.

Shwoooo!!!! ~~

>>So, that's it for now - I have to go check the dogs stitches, and make sure she's comfy out in the living room...I am wore out from holding on to her in my friends car -- The Dog had an "accident" in the car on the way to the vet hosp.~~ Yikes!! ~~ But it's all cleaned up now! - YIKES !! ~~ Did I say that yet??!

So - I think I'll go lay down on the couch with the dog...

P.S. - I think the Vet. Dr. will have a good summer vacation next year by the time all of this bill is said and done.....sheesh...
