Our sweet little girl Sophie went to heaven Wednesday night. She was stricken suddenly with something we felt she would not recover from. She was 3 weeks away from her 18th birthday. We were blessed to have such a precious little girl for all these years. My heart is broken right now.<br />

September 7, 2012 My oldest son Brian was promoted to Sergeant of the Sacramento County Sheriff's Dept. He's been a Deputy for 17 years...11 of them have been with the K-9 unit. Earlier this year he was promoted to detective of the theft division. It was a big change from going to work with his K-9 partner every night. Now that he has promoted to Sergeant his assignment is the main jail. He spent two years in the jail when he first was hired. When you promote you have to go back to jail! lol </div>

On August 3, 1995 a precious little Shih Tzu was born and seven weeks later she would become our little Sophie! She was full of energy and was very very naughty. She untied everyone's shoes, pulled on our pant legs when we walked among many other naughty things. When her puppy stage passed we were blessed with the sweetest and most loving little girl we have cherished for the last 17 years. Last year was very rough for her but she did give up and we didn't give up on her. Happy 17th Birthday my "Precious Punkin Girl" Daddy and I love you!</div>

Well after waiting which seemed like forever we finally made it to New York. We were supposed to go the beginning of February but it was postponed till May. We had tickets for two of the three shows Barry was doing at Radio City Music Hall. NewYork is so fascinating I would go there even if Barry wasn't performing! Honest I would! We stayed at the Renaissance Hotel in Times Square. The hotel was just okay but the location was great! </div>

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Two weeks ago when I last posted I told you Sophie was going to the Vet for a recheck. Well, she went and her doctor was very concerned that she hadn't recovered from the vestibular disease after 2 weeks. Her head was still tilted which worried him. He said she could very well have a brain tumor! Yikes...that was the worst news ever! He said the only way we would know for sure is with an MRI. There is no way we are willing or considering putting her through something like that. All it would do is tell yes or no but it wouldn't cure anything. He agreed with us but still had to give us our options. I love my vet but I just knew in my heart this is not what she has. I'm with her everyday so I know how she is behaves! I've done a lot of reading since then about vestibular disease and brain tumors in dogs. The brain tumors create symtoms very much the same as vestibular disease. My Vet told me if she did have a brain tumor then she might very well start having seizures. :( Sophie has not had any seizures thank goodness! Some of the stories I read about vestibular disease said their dogs took anywhere from 5 months to a year before the head tilt went away. In some cases it never went away but they lived a comfortable life. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Being the fighter that my little girl is she has continued to improve! She finally started eating her dry dog food without having baby food mixed in it since September when she got pancreatitis! Oh happy day! Her head barely has a tilt anymore and she doesn't lose her balance like she did. We take it one day at a time and are just thankful she is not suffering or in any pain. My mommy instinct tells me she just needed a little extra time to recover. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thank you so much for your well wishes for my little Sophie. I wanted to let you know she has improved a lot. All I can say is she one little fighter specially at her age. She is going to the vet today for a recheck and I'm sure her doctor will be surprised to see how much better she is. Her appetite has improved too and she is not leaning to the right side like she was. I'm still keeping her confined to the den so she has no chance of slipping again on the floor. I think she is getting used to it. Occasionally she peeks through the gate which of course makes me want to cry. :( It's not like you can explain it's for their own good. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I haven't had much time to spend blogging lately. My little girl Sophie has had one health issue after another. A couple of weeks ago she hurt the disc in her back when she slipped on the floor getting out of her new bed. I never really thought this through when we tore out all of our carpet a couple of years ago. It is very hard on a little girl who is almost 17 yrs. old to not have carpeting. While she was healing from her back injury all of a sudden she started acting strange. She was very weak and leaning to one side. Of course I freaked out and automatically thought she had a stroke. Well, thank goodness it wasn't a stroke but something called Old Dog Vestibular Disease. Basically it is an inner ear infection which gives you the symptoms of a stroke. Actually my husband had an inner ear infection and spent 3 days in the hospital being tested for a stroke. Since she hurt her back she has had to stay gated in our den. I borrowed the area rug from my living room so she doesn't have to walk on the slippery floor. It is so hard to see your pet look so sad. :( We've been hand feeding her to get her to eat. Today has been a much better day for her since she got this a week ago. She goes back to see the doctor Tuesday so I'm keeping my fingers crossed she continues to improve. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Hope you are all having a great weekend. I was supposed to be in New York right now but unfortunately it was cancelled at the last minute. We were going to see Barry Manilow (shocking isn't it? lol) perform at Radio City Music Hall. He has been recovering from extensive hip surgery he had on December 12. His recovery has been slower than originally thought. A surgery that was supposed to take 2 1/2 hours turned into 7 hours. The poor guy has been rehearsing for the show with a walker and a wheel chair and his nurses at hand. The shows have been rescheduled for the end of of April. You know I'll be there!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Thought I would share a few pieces of china I recently got. Royal Albert has a new pattern and of course I couldn't resist!

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Besides wishing you all a Happy New Year my last post was the cruise I went on in October. I said I was going to come back and post the second cruise we went on but I never made it back. :( </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">After the 7 day cruise on the Allure Of The Seas we went on a 4 day cruise called Malt Shop Memories. It was so much fun! It happened to be my birthday which made it even more fun. I was in music heaven listening to all these groups from the 50's and 60's. Here's a few of the pictures from the cruise.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

She is doing really really well and we are so thankful to our wonderful Vet for the care they gave her while she was there. When we couldn't communicate with our cell phone we emailed back and forth which really helped. They open at 7am and Mike and I were sitting in their parking lot at 6:50. lol Our Vet came in early that morning just so he could be there when we picked her up. How sweet is that? Of course I cried when I saw her. :( </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I can't believe how time flies! My last post was October 3 when I told you about my little girl being sick and my son's very dangerous mission he was sent on. After that post my time was spent trying to get Sophie well again. It was a huge struggle! She was very very sick but that little girl is quite a fighter even at 16 yrs. old. We were also trying to prepare for our 40th anniversary cruise we had been planning for the last year. The timing was really really bad to say the least. My heart was not in it because of Sophie. I was blessed with a wonderful vet who helped a little 16 yr old girl get through a very bad case of pancreatitis! Sophie quit eating and drinking. She had to be taken to the vet everyday to receive antibiotic shots and fluids. Her blood sugar dropped to a very dangerous level of 50. Their blood sugar readings are just like ours. Being diabetic I know what 50 feels like. One day she was so lethargic I couldn't get her to wake up. :( Her x-rays and ultrasound showed no signs of cancer so we knew we had to keep treating her for pancreatitis. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I finally got her to eat baby food that I fed to her from a spoon. It's not easy since you can't just open their mouth and shove it in! :( I had to sit and patiently wait for her to want to lick it off the spoon. Each day she would eat a little more but also our trip was getting closer. We decided to shorten our trip by a few days since she was finally starting to improve. It was so hard to drop her off at the vet Friday night for her 17 day stay there. Thank goodness for cell phones and the internet! On the days we were at sea my doctor and I emailed back and forth. Sophie didn't eat for the first 3 days she was there and my vet was very worried about her. Finally on the forth day her hunger won out over her stubbornness and she started eating. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">She has lost 4 lbs and a lot of her hair has fallen out from her huge ordeal but other than that she is doing good! When we picked her up from the vet she weighed 10.5 lbs and she is now at 11 lbs. not as much weight gain as I would hope but it's a start. We are just so thankful we still have her with us! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I promise to post some pictures of my trip this week but I wanted to share this one with you. This is the ship we were on for our first cruise. Royal Caribbean's "Allure of The Seas". It's the larget ship in the world besides it's sister ship the Oasis Of The Seas. There were 5800 people on board. It was soooo amazing!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xYUmBzFdt5I/TtKEZaD5YBI/AAAAAAAAC3M/57pyGi66OLo/s1600/IMG_8688.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-xYUmBzFdt5I/TtKEZaD5YBI/AAAAAAAAC3M/57pyGi66OLo/s400/IMG_8688.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6tDscmE9tMM/TtKERBq_5OI/AAAAAAAAC3E/ahdmnAzKgsc/s1600/IMG_8680.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="266" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-6tDscmE9tMM/TtKERBq_5OI/AAAAAAAAC3E/ahdmnAzKgsc/s400/IMG_8680.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Sophie (our precious shih tzu) stayed with my sister while we were away. She got stick suddenly with tummy problems. It's a huge worry when they get sick but even more when they are 16 and you are away from home. When we picked her up on Tuesday she looked rather worn out. I figured we would give it a day to see if she felt better. Well she got sick to her tummy again so off to the vet we went. They gave her an anti-nausea shot and hydrated her. Boy she perked right up! About a week later she got sick again! The doctor said if she did he would then do blood work to see what's going on. Her blood work came back with her liver enzymes higher than he said he has ever seen. NOT GOOD! His biggest fear was liver cancer. He told us to bring her in right away for x-rays to check for a mass. He called me that afternoon with great news that he didn't see any mass. So she is being treated for pancreatitis and hepatitis. After spending the day there on an IV and shots she came home with more energy than I've seen in a while! Unfortunately that didn't last long when I tried to wake her in the morning she was so tired she didn't want to open her eyes. Of course it was Sunday and no one is there to talk to! I believe she is having a reaction to her medicine. :( </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0JBNc0nVpo0/TomWTNvvvZI/AAAAAAAAC2U/VDHF0W2LCVc/s1600/226910_1984892217374_1095322674_2345948_3783892_n.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-0JBNc0nVpo0/TomWTNvvvZI/AAAAAAAAC2U/VDHF0W2LCVc/s400/226910_1984892217374_1095322674_2345948_3783892_n.jpg" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">My precious little girl!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Okay now if that wasn't enough to deal with I was put to the test again on Thursday. My son who is the K-9 officer for Sacramento County was called out on a manhunt to find a guy who has been hiding in Ft. Bragg, California (the redwood forrest). Now my son is not on the swat team but they needed some experienced K-9's too. He quickly packed up and left for his drive north along with 27 other officers from the county. The guy they were looking for has been hiding in the forrest for 6 weeks living on food he was stealing from peoples homes and cabins. Needless to say all the residents had left in fear with this dangerous man on the loose. He killed a man the beginning of August and also killed a councilman (former mayor) at the end of August. He was armed and very dangerous! In the 15 yrs. my son has been a deputy this was by far the scariest! They were dealing with a very sick and dangerous man in a very dense forrest. Shortly after I received the call from my Vet that Sophie didn't have cancer I got a text from my daughter in law that the manhunt was over! Without giving you details he won't be able to hurt anyone ever again and all the brave law enforcement officers came home uninjured! For that I am truly grateful!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">One of my favorite things to do when I'm in Vegas (besides going to see Barry) is seeing what's new at the Bellagio Conservatory. We didn't stay there this time but I made sure we went to visit! To my surprise they had torn down their summer decorations and were beginning to build fall. Yikes what a shock this was! Boy talk about seeing it at it's worst! I do have a whole new appreciation for the work that goes into their display. This is what I saw! I only wish I was going back to see it all finished! Just kidding Mike! :)</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tQTdMdajj5U/Tn0bVUXc5VI/AAAAAAAAC1I/SjB0Z4mZJVs/s1600/IMG_1770.JPG" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="300" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-tQTdMdajj5U/Tn0bVUXc5VI/AAAAAAAAC1I/SjB0Z4mZJVs/s400/IMG_1770.JPG" width="400" /></a></div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

Mike and I had a great 40th anniversary in Vegas. I thought I would share some of our trip with you. We bought last minute tickets to see Terry Fator who won America's Got Talent Season 2. If you ever get a chance to see him I thoroughly recommend it! He is so talented it's unbelievable! I'm so glad I decided to buy last minute tickets. For those of you who aren't familiar with him he is a singing ventriloquist. His voice is amazing and the fact he sings without moving his mouth makes him even more talented. He imitates women singers are well as men! Check him out on youtube you'll be amazed. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">I can hardly believe Sunday will be our 40th anniversary. It doesn't seem possible! Where did the years go? When I look back I think WOW we were only 20 years old! We were just kids! Mike and I are going to Las Vegas tomorrow for a few days. YES I have tickets to see Barry! When I saw he had a show on September 11th I couldn't resist. Our real celebration is a Caribbean cruise next month but I figured we needed to do something on the day of our anniversary. When I told him Barry had a show that night he was <strike>overjoyed</strike> not too excited! lol He has seen Barry more times than I think he would like! Lucky for me he usually comes around! </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Sophie and I would like to thank all of you for the very sweet birthday wishes you left for her 16th birthday! She had a wonderful day. She had quite a busy and fun week. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">The Sacramento County Sheriff's K9 association has been sponsoring a 5k run/walk to raise money for the K9's after their retirement for the last three years. One of the beautiful dogs named Kaleo was stricken with cancer of the foot. His treatments were not covered by the county so they have to rely on donations. That was how the run/walk for Kaleo got started. His treatments were somewhere around $12,000. Luckily Kaleo was cured of his cancer without having to remove his foot. He had to retire though and is living a wonderful life with his handler Mark. </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">We decided to take Sophie with us for the 1 mile walk. We have a stroller for her but her Daddy held her the whole mile walk! I pushed the stroller which doubled as a walker! lol I'm pretty sure Sophie would have preferred being at home on her soft bed! She got a lot of attention though which she didn't mind at all. Most were surprised to hear she had just turned 16. I only saw one other dog there with bows. lol I thought I would share some of the pictures with you.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />

</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;">Boy, it's been a while since I posted. Usually this time of year I would be showing you all my roses but unfortunately this has not been a good year for them. Despite my constant fussing over them they still look stressed out! We were (notice I said were) having really mild weather(in the 80's) for my part of California. July is usually in the high 90's to 100's. I remember a few years ago we reached 117 in July. Believe it or not the water in the pool was too hot to swim in. I was hoping the mild temperature would help my roses but just as they looked like they were recovering the temperature is back up there again! I managed to take a few shots of them before they burn! I have about 100 roses and these were the only ones worthy of a photo! :( </div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"><br />
