Its been a looong week...

So this is it for now....

St. Pats day was a success.

Spring break recap is needed, however I am pooped!! Hopefully tomorrow! :)

Ladies Night::photo dump!

Last night I had a girls night out with some of my favorite ladies from school! We went to painting with a twist which I was totally pumped about because I had been wanting to go for a while now. We planned to do what they called Funky Blues. It was such a fun night! We started out at Farinas, a quaint little pizza and wine bar, on main street in downtown Grapevine. Then we ran to catch the class. Our group was definitely the lively one of the class, to say the least!

break number 1

break number 2

ALL DONE! =)

All of us with our finished products! Such a fun night!!

I decided that I must go back and do this once a month, for sure! 

Then, to top it off, I woke up to these this morning... Im blessed =)

SO, That's all I've got now... I will leave you with a photo of my injured guy-- sweetest, bravest little dude I know. Please continue to keep him in your prayers for strength and healing. 

Taking it back old school....

This past Tuesday John and I went to Medieval Times. ha- ha! Yep, you heard it right!!! I had been wanting to go for a while now, every time we drive by I remind myself. So i decided, it's spring break... lets do it! John had never been before, and It had been probably close to 15 years since I had been. We had a lot of fun though. I think the desire to go back will be satisfied for many years!! I told john maybe when our kid is 10 or so... =)

Prayers for Pogo

Well, this is an overdue post. Life... don't you just love how it gets in the way sometimes?! Work has been keeping me busy this year!! Today is the first official day of spring break, but Ill save those goodies for another post. Right now I am writing about 1 of the most important, wise, caring, men in my life. Yes-- he is furry, barks and has a tail... Pogo.

This might not be the best photo of him, however it's the best depiction of him =)

Late Friday night, after celebrating spring break with some co workers, John and I got home and I noticed that pogo was dragging his hind legs behind him in attempts to walk. Now, John has told me and I have heard about slipped discs from other dachshund owners... and so I instantly had an AWFUL feeling in the pit of my stomach. I lost it, completely. Probably a little over board, but I am sorry-- I love my dogs. This one has a special place in my heart for how wonderful he is to me and my annoying pup, Dakota. After a sleepless (for john) and long (for me) night... we woke up Saturday and took Pogo to the vet, only to have our fears confirmed. There were positives in there though.

1. Pogo did have feeling in his legs.

2. we could not see the actual disc that had slipped on the stray.

The vet put him on steroids and muscle relaxers and we were told to wait and come back Monday to check on his progress.

Well here we are, Monday... and I can tell you it's been a long, uneventful week since that awful night Friday night. Pogo went for his check up and we found out that he is making progress. And that he would be a perfect candidate for the back surgery that would potentially give his mobility back. As of now he isn't really walking at all, he will try but it's like his back legs are asleep... he drunkenly tries to get footing but is unsuccessful. It breaks my heart. =( The surgery is just out of our means financially, were teachers... and $3,000 minimum is just impossible for us.

I ask for your prayers. Pogo is somewhat of a healer to the people in his life, and now he needs the healing. I can sit next to him on the couch and love him till I have no more love to give but I truly feel that the only true healer for Pogo is God. My mom always tells me what a powerful thing prayer is and Pogo is definately a creature deserving of your thoughts and prayers. I believe that he is a fighter and can come back from this with His help. I will happily keep you posted on his progress but please, please just include him when you say your prayers at night. If you have met him, you know what a wonderful furry guy he truly is, and MY life has been bless and changed thanks to him.
