Hi y'all! You guys are freakin' AWESOME! SO sweet to get such a warm welcome back I wasnt sure anyone would even remember me....Thank you all *SO* much Biscuit is doing fairly well, considering his age (most Shar Pei have a 8-10 yr lifespan, and he is 11.5 yrs old right now) Every day with him is truly a Blessing, to us. The cooler Fall air is much kinder to his asthma and allergies, Ive been able to take him almost every day for his 1 block walk (it's all he can do, but he really enjoys it) so he's happy Im home w/him, most of the time. Otherwise, things have been...ok, I guess. Our 'house guests' FINALLY moved out a few months ago! YAY! It was getting pretty bad, especially towards the end. But we gave them a deadline and stuck to it, and at 11 pm that night, they were gone About a month ago, I got a call from Michelle and she needed a ride to her Dr, so I took her and on the way home she asked if ' just me' could move back in!!!! Um, NO! After they left us, they moved in w/her son, who is in the Army, for 6 weeks, then both of them moved in w/her daughter, her boyfriend, and granddaughter, also a roommate, so there is 6 people (illigeally)in a 1 bedroom apt! OY! Only her daughter and her roommate are working We are still trying to recover, financially, from that. Finances are really tight and Ive been trying to watch what I buy, (I needed a few air of slacks)but DH is not happy w/me Thank you ALL again for your kindness!
