Celebrating a really good day

I missed the AM call today because I was gone, we took the dog to a new vet this morning. When we were finishing up the new vet asked if we knew the number for a doctor we had seen earlier. My wife rifled through a big wad of business cards trying to find it and about half way through she came to four or five of her own, nicely printed, in living color, MPM business cards. The conversation switched to MPM right there. When the conversation got to NPOs the vet asked if we ever did anything with animal NPOs. I mentioned the one I am working with now and the vet if I would contact one of her favorites. I assured her that I would certainly do that.

Now that we are well into the third week of pain and agony for this little dog, we have finally found her some relief. We are not yet sure what brought this on but we have eliminate the shakes and painful cries. In fact, she slept all afternoon in peace--the first restful sleep she has gotten in three weeks.

I continued working on my presentation for the NPO I will see tomorrow, and attended the evening call. I am so relieved that the dog is doing better that right after the evening call I fell a sleep. It is 12:45 Minnesota time and I just got up now to do the blog.

bzm: Thanks for the hugs, and the quote on hope, I really like it. tk: Thanks for the prayers.

I am so glad you baby is feeling better. I miss my simba so much. It has been a year. She was a big shepherd. After much medicine and carrying her up and down stairs for over a year and then her going totally blind for two months,we finally said our goodbyes. I think that she knew me better than anyone else knew me, that includes my husband and kids, even myself. I am not kidding!

Dear Tom,

I was so thrilled to hear about your Sweet Doggie Girl last evening. How wonderful this new vet was able to overlook the issues of the last three weeks and find a solution so quickly. Even so, we'll still be keeping your Baby in our thoughts and prayers.

Way cool that you got to talk about MPM and that he gave you a personal contact, too. That's an additional feather in your cap!

And, as you know, we're sending you good wishes for a powerful meeting today at 1:30. I really enjoyed Eleanor's message in the update yesterday (maybe she'll be on the morning call today to share) about the NPO's. It included your very message: choosing those organizations that you really resonate with and that touch your heart strings.

Your sincerity and dedication will pay off and help so many, many people as the weeks and months turn into another year gone by.
