We just got a call from the vet's office.  In an unbelievable twist of fate,  Bella didn't ingest anything. She somehow managed to only chew everything up and not actually swallow any of it.  My first thought was how the hell is that even possible.  However, my second thought came along and beat the first thought over the head for looking a gift horse in the mouth. We are going to pick her up in a few minutes.  :-) Thank you all for the thoughts and prayers for our beloved Ms. Bella.  UPDATE: We just got home from picking up Bella. :-) The total came to $81 and that was a huge savings over the emergency vet that wanted almost $300 last night. If your in the Canton, Ohio area…

Here's the deal with Bella. She is on her way to the vet. Lizze called them first this  morning and they needed to see her right away. We are basically dropping her off and they are going to do a series of xrays. They said regular and possibly barium xrays as well.  If she needs surgery they are going to call us.  Lizze explained the situation and someone there apparently someone reads this blog and so they know how important Bella is to Emmett. They told Lizze that they will not make us choose between surgery and putting her down.  They will work with us on payments if she needs anything invasive. Hopefully, God willing, everything with be okay. She's having tummy issues this morning so please continue to keep…

Emmett has come so far. He's accomplished things that have me simply amazed. I'm not going to explain these pictures ecause they should speak for themselves.  This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.

Lizze and I arrived home about an hour or so ago.  When I went back to get the dogs and let them out,  I discovered that we were in trouble. Bella had bounced her kennel over far enough that she knocked a box over that was full of various power/computer/HDMI cables.  There was also a box of screws and those little metal shims that you use to secure a pane of glass in a windows frame before glazing.  You can see those below in the little orange container. There were hundreds of those little shims and an unknown about of screws but likely at least several dozen. As you can see,  Bella went to town on everything.  We have no idea how much she actually ingested.  There are sections of…

We have made it to the Cleveland Clinic with about 15 minutes to spare. That's pretty awesome if you ask me.  I love being early to things.  :-) Lizze is really nervous and all I can do is offer my support.  I don't know what she's going through and I won't pretend to understand. I'm worried about her and I really,  really hope we can find some answers. Most of all,  I want her to find peace and love life as pain free as possible. Please keep her in your thoughts.  We need'em.  :-) This was posted via WordPress for Android, courtesy of Samsung’s Galaxy S III. Please forgive any typos.
