I had so much fun making this picture with Kenny, Ollie and Sulli on top of the grape arbor. How did I do that? Kenny and I were talking about it when he was here for Lacey's family party last week. I've been searching for the picture ever since. Tonight I found it! Lacey is in front of Amanda, and Sierra is up-side-down on Marie's lap!These pictures were taken 4 years ago. Lacey was 5 years old, Kenny was 10. Ollie was 1 year old, and Chuck was 53. It was a good year for grapes.
It's been 18 days since Lacey's surgery. She's gained her weight back, and her hematocrit is in the normal range, tho' not yet as high as is normal for her. Before her surgery she didn't want to walk after dinner, and now she is right out there by the door with her tail wagging. She leads the way going down the driveway, pulling on her leash. She's fussy about her food -- wants everything with peanut butter on it, but Chuck says peanut butter is NOT on her special diet. He makes special meals for her, everything fresh and loaded with iron, protein and antioxidants. Can you imagine -- she eats chopped mustard greens, soybeans and tofu on brown rice? And peanut butter.
