Zoe

Ok, so I'm a dog person and the dogs that made me this way are my min pins, Xehn and Zoe. Zoe is Xehn's daughter. She is 7 years old and my baby girl. This week has been a long one because Zoe had what our vet called "the worst case of pancreatitis she has ever seen." We are very lucky that things have taken such a positive turn. Zoe spent two nights at the emergency vet and three days with our regular vet. She was able to come home on Tuesday night but I was so worried still that I couldn't sleep. She is improving everyday and today we were given our next appointment for one month - which is really good considering this week was extremely emotional and expensive. I've been a wreck all week but today I could finally breath some relief when they took out the catheter from her leg and she got to come home to stay.

I was really looking forward to the new school year to start this past Monday but it seems like everything I was looking forward to was turned upside down. Xehn and Zoe are two of my children and I would do anything for them. I think we all have these experiences in our lives that remind us of what is important and remind us not to take anything for granted. It seems like the other stresses I had last week were nothing compared to what we survived this week. I'm really lucky to have two great dogs that love me as much as I love them.

I've decided to post some new and old images of Zoe today. Saturday is Xehn's birthday so I'll be posting some images of him this weekend.

Hey Branch,

I love looking at your pictures! I'm sorry to hear about your baby! Our little Lucas had pancreatitis a little over a year ago. We were hysterical. So I know what you were going through. Glad she is doing better.

Hey Branch,

I tried to leave a comment, but I don't think it worked, so I am trying again. BTW--I love your pictures. They are wonderful. I also wanted to tell you that I know what you were going through with the pancreatitis. Our little guy, Lucas, had the same thing about a year ago. Eric and I were both just hysterical. He is fine now, but we are still paying off the bills!! Ha!! What we won't do for our babies!!!
