Howdy Ho Folks!
It's that time again......time for my weekly Xanga entry!
Can I get a woot woot.......tomorrow is FRIDAY! Two weeks from TODAY I will be on my way to TENNESSEE!! I just hope Elvis keeps the light on for me! Debbie, my bro-in-law Robin and I will start out our vacation in New Mexico. Our final destination will be Nashville. We will be attending the annual Compassionate Friends Conference. I'm really looking forward to seeing people that we met last year and also, finding out where NEXT years conference will be. They announce that on the last day of the conference. I'm such a planner, I can't wait to find out where it will be in 2009! I truly hope it's on the WEST coast next year.
Most of you know that I don't fly - we will be driving to TN. Since gas is SO expensive these days, I have put a Paypal button on my Xanga site to ask my Xanga friends for donations for our trip. OK, I'm kidding on that one (the Paypal icon doesn't work!) but dayum, it's going to cost us an arm and a leg to pay for gasoline for this trip!

Onto a really serious subject. In my last entry I mentioned that I found more tumors on my little pooch Mandy. I brought her to the Vet and he in fact found THREE more tumors (in addition to the 3 that I had found) on my little girl. He told me to take her home and make her comfortable. It's so damn heartbreaking. While I'm on vacation my friend Denise will come over every day to check on my babies. Even though my brother will be here with them, I will feel better knowing Denise will be checking on them too.
I had to bring my little man to the vet last week also. He has an owee on his back left paw. It's called a "Lick Granuloma". (It is a raised, usually ulcerated area on a dog's wrist or ankle area caused by the dog's own incessant licking.) Click here to read more.
Tomorrow is my nephew Matthew's 5th Birthday! We will celebrate on Saturday. PAARRRTY!
HAPPY BIRTHDAY MATTHEW!
Time to hit the sack.......I hope you all have a great weekend and as always, be sure to hug your families!

Happy Birthday to your nephew!
So sad about your baby. I know you want to have a good time on your trip but I know you will be burdened with heavy thoughts. It's good that you have family and friends keeping an eye on her. My thoughts and prayers go out to you and your baby. {{{HUGS}}}
Well Happy Birthday Matthew! Such a cutie he is. And I am so sorry to hear about Mandy. I hope they don't grow or affect her at all. I know this has to be heart breaking for you. I hope they gave you some good ointment for your Chili's licking, poor guy! And dayum is right girlfriend....gas is costing us an arm and a leg right now but I hear the air fare can be just as bad this time of year. Your vacation together sounds wonderful! Hope you have a great weekend!
Have a very safe trip-- drive careful! I hope that you have a good time at the conference. Hugs, Teresa

Hi Janice! Just wanted to say hello and ask how your poochies are doing? I hope they are both ok. Almost the weekend and I was thinking about you. I guess you are getting excited for your trip. I am so touched you are walking for my boys too. You are so special to me my friend. Thank you from the bottom of my heart. xo
