She even lost the ability to eat from my hand and spoon also a few times and each time I thought I was going to have to put her down because I would not starve her to death...and yet, something made her synapses spark back up and she would start to eat out of my hand or spoon.

but today, out of nowhere, she dipped her nose into the can and licked it...my eyes got huge..so I went and got a bowl, put chunks of wet food in it and laid it in front of her..and coaxed her..it took her a few times..but she ate the whole can that way in the bowl....

good god...I never thought I would see her do that again...

it might not stay, this might be a fluke, it doesnt matter..what matters is that today, she ate from a Big Dog bowl!

This brought tears to my eyes. I am so happy for you and your puppy. !

Knowing that she's alright,
That there was nothing to worry about,
And knowing that she knows how much I love her.

I am so happy for you softness... I totally know this feeling.. I ache over Ladybug being so miserable with her skin infection right now.. But I know she will be better... we believe in our babies and we know they can succeed... if we only show them they can... hugs my friend!!

Too early yet.... I wouldn't mind some kind of good news today. And chocolate.... with sprinkles....

That would be a joy to enjoy!

Kenna · 05-15-2010, 12:05 PM

My brother just told me that the week after I move South, he will bring the girls to see me!!!!! I CAN'T WAIT to see my beautiful nieces and to spoil them rotten!!

So it turns out.... that the place I picked to move to, my brother and his family vacation near by EVERY year. Maybe we can make up for lost time and get together for some much needed/missed family time?? I'm so excited!

I am so amazed at how things have been working out and so many good things are happening and falling into place!!

I LOVE my baby girls and don't want to miss them growing up just because I live too far away. This is SO AWESOME!!! Don't think I've been this HAPPY ever before! It's an amazing feeling to have so many positive things happen suddenly and to enjoy so many amazing, caring, wonderful people in my life!!

PS... just heard from him again.... he's going to treat me to a trip to Myrtle Beach with the girls!!! I've only been to two beaches - Ocean City in December for a Christmas Party and Virginia Beach for my son's graduation.... I've ALWAYS loved beaches but never really got to go. I prefer off season, but I CAN'T wait to take my girls to the boardwalk and enjoy their laughter and pulling me two different ways with sticky cotton candy little hands...and to hear the youngest one say "You're Da Bomb!!"

Damn!! LIFE IS GOOD!!!

SuperFemme · 05-15-2010, 12:05 PM

Well, We won't be online much!
Well, other than to tell people what we've been doing together ...

Ah, 'some' of what we've been doing together

Queerasfck · 05-15-2010, 05:00 PM

Trying to wind June up.

Leigh · 05-15-2010, 06:43 PM

Beautiful warm weather and the sun shining brightly all day

Queerasfck · 05-15-2010, 06:49 PM

Our usual Saturday. Leisurely getting up, going to a meeting, going to get a coffee, hitting garage sale or two, various errands, later a nap, just spending time together. Saturdays are nice.

*Magic_and_Silk* · 05-15-2010, 06:59 PM

Listening to some REALLY good live music in the park. A friend of mine was singing and playing his guitar to a small audience...Damn, what a voice!

Toofrufru · 05-15-2010, 07:46 PM

Stepping into the sun to catch my breath and having it taken away

Living a joy filled life in living color!

Being loved as I am.

Hack · 05-15-2010, 07:52 PM

Spending 5 hours in the woods today, watching birds and other wildlife. It's like heaven to me.

AtLast · 05-15-2010, 08:11 PM

Birding by the Bay, enjoying the quiet. Love having a dog that will be still and quiet while I gaze in amazement.

Reading some posts by other butches and TG members that open communication between we butch types and feeling like barriers are being torn down between us all. Worth the wait and even the really hard times when I felt we would never get here.

Daddislilgirl · 05-15-2010, 08:16 PM

Takin my motortcycle out for a 4 hour ride, ahhhhhh.......and knowing I'll be doing it again tomorrow
