Just got home form the vet (again.) Puppy has apparently made it through the parvo but has developed pneumonia and a heart murmer. She is eating a little but not drinking enough to come off the fluids just yet. She loves to lay in the sun on the grass in the back yard and whenever I take her out to piddle, she goes to a sunny spot and stretches out on her side. That is where she is now, I have to keep an eye on her, though. I would be bad for a hawk to get her after all this.......

Poor little tyke.
 
Prayer works anywhere....even in the dentist chair which is where I was this am. So I left early and didn't feed the chickens, hubby said he had to give them something as they were all on the poarch, the railings, waiting at the door. About fifty of them, he said they were jumping on him..hahaha.
I don't look forward to when mother comes to live here. She will have her own house, but it could be either a wonderful thing...or a royal pia. We will have to lay ground rules. I guess it could be worse, when I see some of these talk shows...I think, boy, I'd just give up on that relationship and move...no forwarding address. Well, I'll just have to figure it out I guess, it helps to remember I'm not the only one been in that boat!

Glad to hear the puppy got past the parvo, lets hope the murmur is secondary to the pneumonia and she'll overcome both. Never underestimate the power of sunshine and prayers.

Chickenwrangler definitely work out the ground rules before she comes and lives nearby. We didn't do that and by the time I tried setting boundaries it was way too late. It should be a little easier since she won't be living with you directly. My MIL respected our privacy when we were in the bedroom but it seemed like she took over the rest of the house. We actually lived in two different houses with her. In each she had her own room, her own bathroom and a "sitting room". She would hardly ever use the sitting rooms though other than to put her stuff in. She would park herself in the living room and rule the television all day long until she went to bed. She had something of hers in just about every room in the house. Now I did want her to feel like it was her house as well but I swear, if there was a horizontal surface in the house, she would put something there. She was all about quantity and not quality. I called her the Dollar Store Queen (well when I was being nice, I had another nickname for her that wasn't so nice
wink.png
). Why have one nice doodad or nicknack when you can have 20 and be able to mark your territory in 20 places. One time she was having some dizziness and chest pains. I called the EMT's to get her checked out. They came and hooked her up and she was OK, no heart attack. They told her to make an appointment with her heart specialist and take it easy for the rest of the day. She had a rocker in the living room where she was sitting but it didn't have a table next to it. DH brought an end table in to set next to the chair so that she could set a glass of water right next to her and not have to get up. It was supposed to be temporary. The next day she was feeling much better and by lunch time she had her crap on the table.

It stayed there from that day forwards. I drew the line at hanging all of the family pictures all over the house. She would have wallpapered the whole house with them had I let her. I have nothing wrong with family pictures being hung but I wanted to feel like it was my house too. I also drew the line after her mother passed away. She had a box of things that she got when they cleaned out her mother's house. She wanted to display all the items in different areas of the house. I told her to pick a few special ones and the rest of the items she could find a place for in her room or her sitting room. This was years into living together and I was tired of dusting her multitudes of crap. It really didn't help that her taste and my taste were different. Oh well, that part of our lives is thankfully over. I feel bad for her other son. You walk into the house that they share and don't even realize that he lives there until you get to the back of the house where he has one room for his stuff.

Wisher, so glad to hear that the puppy has turned the corner. Still saying prayers that she keeps getting better.
