Special Thanks Are Sent Your Way!

God bless each one of you sweet people who took the time to send a prayer Squeaky's way!
My regular vet, whom I had made the appointment with originally, was slammed this afternoon so they had called me to see if I could wait until tomorrow. I said no I couldn't, so they informed me I would have to pay double the usual fee as I would have to come in after 4pm. and that would classify as an "urgent" visit!
I won't go into any details other than to say I ended up going to another vet I had never seen before but they were kind enough to squeeze Squeaky in right away!

Dr. Karen was wonderful and gave Squeaky a good once over and told me that yes she had a temperature, but was not dehydrated (good news). So she classed it as an infection of unknown origin and Squeaky was given 2 injections (metacam and baytril) and I brought home liquid antibiotic for her to take this week.
To say I was relieved is an understatement! She is such an old girl and had such a hard life prior to arriving at my door and it would have broken my heart to lose her so soon.
She does need extensive dental work and that will have to be taken care of soon but for today, by the grace of God and thanks to your prayers, she is going to be fine!
Total cost $63!!! I was amazed it was so low! So I had another blessing in that my bank account wasn't depleted.
So thank you all once again for your kindness in taking the time to offer a prayer for Squeaky. Those prayers were appreciated more than you know!
Love to all....
Tina and Squeaky xo

Special Prayer Request

My poor little Squeaky was missing for 2 days, which was odd because she is not one to wander but sits on the deck and watches the world go by.

The first day she returned she ate and drank and I thought that with some rest she would perk up, but today she is not eating or going to the bathroom and I am taking her to the vet this afternoon at 4pm.
When she first showed up a year ago staring through my window she looked so pathetic. Undernourished, with missing teeth and with a terrible gash on her side that the vet thought may have been caused by her being thrown from a moving vehicle.
I am hoping that today she may just have an infection that can be treated simply with antibiotics. I had so hoped she would have a few more happy good years here with me and my "gang" of salvaged pets. 
So if you could take a moment and ask the Lord for a little blessing on her behalf I would so appreciate it!
Thanks so much, I love you all a bunch!

Garage Sale Find!

I usually don't stop at many garage sales just because I can't always afford it but I had a neighbor who wanted to see what was available at a garage sale down the road from us so off we went.
Imagine my happy surprise that by the road was a box designated for disposal and inside I found what was for me a treasure!

Can you say "lickety split"? Yep that box was in the back of my vehicle in 2 seconds flat!
When I got home I was so thrilled to find these lovely pastel dishes, most of which were in excellent shape.

There were on or two of the bowls that were chipped on the edges but nothing that would detract from my enjoyment of them.

I love the pastel shades, so perfect for these hot, stuffy days. Almost refreshing in their simplicity of design and color!

I checked online and found out that even though it says "Interstate Sunrise Ware", that was a division of Homer Laughlin dishware.
They may not be Limoges or Spode, but I love them all the same and they were FREE!

Have a great day and happy "finding" to all!

Hot Shower

Well what a day we had at the baby shower! It was hot, HOT, HOT! But fun too.......
We were greeted by the crowing of the hostess' rooster...

Here is the sweet mom-to-be Betty, (fresh from the swimming pool) with her mom Nancy on the right and auntie Linda on the left.

Here is Grandpa and I trying to pretend it is cool outside!

Opening gifts with auntie Karen on the right and mom-in-law on the left.

Little Miss Attitude (on the romper) was Betty's nickname too!

Life just wouldn't be complete without the ribbon hat, would it?

And finally the cake......

Altogether it was a grand day and Betty received many lovely gifts, the food was fabulous, the setting perfect.....but darned I wish I had brought a bathing suit!
