Thank God for his many blessing bestowed upon us. I am so sad this morning, as my Dinah lost her single pup. She was due the 10th, but Saturday night she was attacked by the other chis and she held the pup this long, but aborted it this morning. So I am so sad, but at the same time, I am thankful because it could have been much worse....something could have caused me to loose Dinah. But as it was, she aborted the pup, but she herself has had no problems and does not even require a vet cisit...so no added expenses. So, when we think about it, we realy do have so much to be thankful for. I have went through so much this year that even as I type I sit here in tears, but I can look around me and see the pain and suffering of others and realise it could be worse. There are always those who have it worse. God has blessed me with a roof over my head, a mom who is my best friend, two physically healthy children and a boatload of pets who offer me unconditional love when I am at my lowest. So Praising God for his many blessings in 2008 and Wishing each and everyone of you the best he has to offer for 2009. Marsha > > > > Hi everyone.
