Sunday Selfie- (Beauspeak)

 



While the sky was doing this to the West, I was North doing this


and eating grass by the bale, we got 2 nights of rain, totally 1 inch. Grass is popping up.


so I could do this. Mama says apologies, but she has never seen anything like what I was throwing up. the first one was bigger than a dinner plate and nothing but grass and foaming bubbles.


This was my last one. Mama and I paced exactly 4 hours, March 12th, in the evening from 4:30 to 8:30 pm I did my last throw up and one big nasty poop. Mama and I were exhausted, and slept until 4:38. 
Then AGAIN on the evening of March 18th, 4 pm to 7:30pm, and then we all slept all night. Vet and I have no idea what this is, it is escalating. From every 2 months to Once a month, then to every  7 to 10 days and this  time only 6 days apart.
I am on 3 RX, Mama watched me every step I take. it is the same every time, pace for an hour, drooling and trying to throw up, then a huge throw up, more pacing and it was bloody diarrhea, but these last two times no blood, just one loose BM.
I am fine between episodes, play like a puppy, sleep like a lamb.

Two Keith's and a Ruby

 


Yesterday, Keith, from Mobile Auto Physician came to our home, put a new battery in Bob's truck, replaced the struts that hold up the back door and the hood to my Kia SUV, and did it in about 20 minutes. He is the owner and only employee and he was here for 2 hours because first he and I had conversations and then he came in to meet 
Bob and had a long conversation, exchanging stories. He is the age of my son Dan, and has been Mobile Mechanic for 16 years but 30 years as a mechanic. Drag Racer, Circle Racer, Mechanic, built his own race cars, lover to fish and do radio control cars. All things that Bob had done his entire life. 

For once I could not get a word in edgewise. Bob's Truck is a 2004, we bought it new for me to drive my long commute, and in 22 years no one has touched the truck but Bob except to put new tires on. He fretted over someone other than himself touching it. When I came inside and said, Bob, I went out to see how it was going and Kieth has washed your truck. He said he could not leave it with a year of grime on it because its to pretty to leave it dirty. He is also a GM man and fell in love with the truck. I found him when I called Auto Zone to find out if they had struts for my Kia and asked if they could put them on if I brought the truck to them. The answer was, we don't do that any longer, but we have a number for a Mobile Mechanic.

He is an early bird as are we, and was in the driveway at 8:10 AM and done by 8:20, his prices are more than reasonable, and he picks up the parts and comes to us.

Isn't it hard to believe this truck is 22 years old?
He was the first Keith. 3 days ago while walking Beau, a woman walking alone, walked up to us and said , Do you remember Me? I said I remember your face but not where I know you from. She said, Dog trainer and I said you are the one that trained a puppy for Southeast Guide Dogs, and I saw you every day for a year, with the puppy. She said, that it was 4 years ago. I don't train anymore, I no longer have the patience it requires. We talked, I blabbed about Bob.

The next day, I heard a car come up behind me and stepped in the gas and when the car stopped, I turned and it was the same lady. She said, I talked to my husband, and we want to help you and your husband.. She handed me her card and said, I have been driving up and down the streets looking for you, and can't believe you are out here in this cold. It was to cold for me to walk. We want you to call when you have a need and if he can do it we will come and help. 
She said, if you ever can't walk Beau, call me and I will come walk him for you.

When I read the card, I found her name is Ruby, and her husband is Keith.
Now we have Two Keith's and a Ruby to help when we need it.
Thank you to all of you who prayed with me to find help.
Thank you, Lord for sending help.
