Well, I suppose the benefit I will receive is to refresh your faith that there are some amazing companies out there with well made products and, more importantly, awesome customer…

When Dogs Grieve

You may note the title chosen for this post is “When Dogs Grieve”, not “Do Dogs Grieve?”, as is more commonly found. I did that intentionally, yet not for clicks. I think to form it as a question is, frankly, ludicrous. Of course dogs grieve. They are, by Design, sentient, personable creatures. Thus, I firmly make the statement, “When Dogs Grieve”, to unabashedly let you know you are in the right…

Back to the Dogs

Many years ago, I think it was 2018? Years ago I started APupStop to help folks with their own dogs. I was so frustrated with watching dogs drag their people down our street and listening to ridiculous “training advice” spewed from the latest trends. There are some key points left out of most popular training. So much that is critical for the common dog owner to understand, such as Pack…

The Truly Important Things

All my life I have been of the mind that the truly important things of life are those that are too easily overlooked by most. The “business” of life, so I hear, supposedly gets in the way of making time for those seemingly “little” things. Things that mean so much more than any amount of money you can bank. Things that are so much more precious and enriching than any degree, status, position……

Alas, My Love...

It’s been almost a month now I am still grasping at the reality of my beloved, Jamie, being gone. Though I am overwhelmed with joy at knowing his suffering is no longer, and that he went in peace to our Lord, I feel as if I walk with a limp. My heart bleeds incessantly. I think of my dear neighbor who laid his beloved to rest just a few months before. Forty years married, I think he said. Gosh……

Things No One Tells You

Over the past many months Jamie and I have been fumbling our way to learn about and deal with the kidney issues, neck cancer and subsequent problems due to the maltreatment at the hands of “health professionals.” There are lots of things I have had to learn that, frankly, I never wanted to know. At the same time, it pains my heart to know there are hundreds of thousands of folks bought into the…

So, How's It Going?

When we last checked in Jamie had been home for about a week. It’s almost a month now since he has been out of the hell-spital (hospital) and there are good days and not so good days. To be expected, I suppose. We have found, as in so many things in life, that we can use these circumstances to build our faith, or falter and squirm. To be honest, we have done a bit of squirming lately. But there…

He's Home!

Okay, so it was almost a week ago that they finally “let” Jamie come home. We have spent the week catching up on cuddle time, actual rest (which is nearly impossible in a hospital) and packing in some good food and whole food supplements. This past Monday (6/24) the docs were “reevaluating” to consider what to do next, but Jamie put a dent in their plans, which I’ll explain in a minute. So, 603…

So, What Do You Do?

When we last left off I was talking about all the garbage the docs were giving Jamie and that causing him pain and more issues. The post just before that I was getting ready to share what we plan to do once he is home. I’ve neglected updating here because it seems like every day there is something more to deal with. Some new or recurrent issue. Some new or recurrent idiot to deal with. Etc. The…

A Shorter Read

Tonight I am going to make this short because there are some things that I need to update and I do not want to take too much of your time. But this really needs aired. In this update I am going to focus more on meds given. We’ll go over other procedures later. This is just too important and folks need to know. So, this is going to be a shorter read for you all. Thanx so much for coming back and I…

When Vultures Circle

My husband is one of those strong, sweet guys that pretty much always has a smile, kind word, or at least a funny one, and does his best to be accommodating. Anyone who has known him for more than a few minutes loves him. Whether it was playing ball, or on an orthopedic medical team in the past, he could always be counted on. Gosh, even though I have always been a “DIY” aficionado, being married…

In His Image, Take Two

Forgive me if my first post on this was a bit jumbled. I talked about being angry then just jumped over to the fact that my husband is ill. Gosh… Amazing how much can transpire in such little time. From here on I shall slow down a bit to help you fine folks get caught up. I titled this section “In His Image” to focus on the facts of God’s design. No, not opinions, as they are often played down.…

In His Image

“So God created man in His own image; in the image of God He created him; male and female He created them.” Genesis 1:27   There are lots of things that give me cause for anger. They are mostly things that are not commonly thought about. Things such as self-centeredness, greed, lying, abuse…. That sort of stuff. So, for instance, if someone cuts in line to get ahead, it’s not the fact that I am…

A More Proper Response

Once again, it’s been a while. So often things in life tend to upend our usual schedules, catching up, and whatnot. Thankfully, along comes a prompt to remind us of things left wanting. All that, merely for a more eloquent way of saying, Boy! am I behind on catching up with the great folks that read my blog! Terribly sorry, but I want to thank a particular reader, John, who posted a comment on my…
