Hills & Valleys . . .

It has been a hard week. My sweet doggie Solomon was not acting right. He was drinking a ton of water and pee pee like crazy. He was panting non-stop. We had it freezing in the apt and he was hot. He was restless and just not himself. He is almost 14 years old so I know he will not feel great all the time. A year ago the vet suspected he had cushing disease. These symptoms fit that disease.  I took him to the vet fully expecting to hear cushing disease    - -  well I was shocked to hear  DIABETES !  Oh goodness. . .

I have to give him insulin shots twice a day. 6 am & 6 pm . . . I thought Lord, how can I do this. I cannot imaging sticking him with a needle once let alone twice everyday  . . .

But thankfully the Lord's grace has helped me and I am doing it ! My boy seems so much better too!
So thankful . . . I don't know how long the Lord will allow me to be Sollie's mommy but I am enjoying each day and taking it one at a time . . .




This picture has given me peace . . .

  1. Your doggy is cute. We haven't had a dog for a VERY long time...but I do remember how much we loved him, and how hard it is for them to be sick. Ours passed when he was 12 years old, of doggy leukemia.

    I guess we do what we have to do...and I am glad that God gave you the grace and strength you needed to do the shots for him Maryellen.
