Millennia

     We were blessed to have had a little friend for the last eleven years.  Our last dog lived for 14 years and soon after she died, Josh was asking for a "baby puppy" every day.  One of David's friends who he worked with had two miniature schnauzers named Buddy and Gypsy Rose.  Out of their first litter she let David pick out a little girl puppy and when it was weaned he got to bring her home which was right after bath time, Josh was so excited.  David's friend, Charlotte, was very sweet to share this gift with us.

     Since she was born June 3, 1999 and right before the new millennia, David named her Millennia and in honor of the new Millennial reign we hope for.   Although she was Josh's dog she would follow me everywhere like a shadow and if I went outside she would wait at the door for me.

     She had a seizure while Josh was at running camp  this August and when they got back David took her to the Vet-with a spleenectomy following for massive tumors, that had spread everywhere.  She hung in there till this morning till right at the time I was getting Mom ready to go have an Ultra-sound of her leg for a possible clot.
     The Lord is good and sometimes He gives us something else to think about in times like this.  Mom's leg was OK, Praise the Lord!  Thank Him for creating little animals that show love  & loyalty with no questions asked.
