Frankie had a flea infestation due to the large number of fleas present in his former home. Despite being treated with Diatomaceous Earth, a flea-killing powder, the fleas continued to infest him, creating a vicious cycle. Frankie was not receiving adequate care, but after two baths, the fleas were eliminated. Unfortunately, the problem recurred whenever my ex took him for the day, leading me to apply flea preventative measures to all three dogs today in hopes of finding a safe and effective solution.

Last week, we took back Frankie from my ex-husband. He’s back with us now where he's receiving the proper care and attention he deserves.💕 Frankie is 14, has arthritis, and poor eyesight and hearing. I'll share additional information in a future post.

While Ginger continues to display aggression towards Frankie, it demands constant attention to maintain their separation. We remain dedicated to finding effective solutions to keep them apart. 🐾🐾

We had a great fun time in Frankfort last month. Here is a clip of the doggies and I in the choppy Lake Michigan water. (I just didn’t have the heart to shock Rocco with that big wave.)😁

Love is an enchantment
A closer caring heart, a consolation
Bringing a smile; or a sympathy that empathizes a hurting spirit
It is a sunshine,
That gives hope to a withering soul;
It is a faith-give promise for a tomorrow
Love is a journey, that we all must take
A story of love that never gets old.💕

Ginger is embarking on her first backpack stroll and Michael is happy to carry her along.Ginger's unsteady legs, lack of energy & confusion remind us that a long and healthy life is not promised to anyone. However, even in the face of uncertainty and health challenges, we can choose to see life as a gift and live with purpose and joy.Ginger is embarking on her first backpack stroll and Michael is happy to carry her along.Despite the lack of a formal diagnosis, and the sadness of seeing her decline , we remain steadfast in our love and care for her, ensuring her well-being in every day. Life is a precious gift that should be cherished. Let us live each day with purpose, joy, and gratitude, no matter what challenges we may face.🌻

Although Ginger's slowing down, we're not leaving her behind. Our new backpack design allows her to join us on walks. It was getting tiresome waiting for her and running back to pick her up. Now we can enjoy our adventures with more ease.🐾🐾💞

Good morning! I’m glad to be spending the rest of my summer not having to work outside the home. In fact, I am extremely grateful that it appears that I’ll never have worry about working again! 🤪😎 I love being here with my favorite people and just working around the homestead. 😀
I love having my favorite men with me (my son & ‘hubby’) on the same page, working toward the same objectives.😃

Rocco's barking serves as a perfect accompaniment to our daily routine, as he is always ready to ward off any potential threats, (we have many bears living around our home.) Meanwhile, Ginger, with her beauty & elegance, barks in harmoniously, complements Rocco & demonstrating her fierce protectiveness. We adore our little furry guardians. 💕

The return of my ex-husband has brought a renewed sense of hope and optimism in my life.🦋 His contributions, dedication to the homestead and his passion for cooking has made my life easier and more enjoyable. Also, his nurturing nature has made me feel grateful and happy!☺️ We are looking forward to exploring new possibilities and continued dreams together.💞

Happy Tuesday!🌺
Life is going great! I am truly blessed.
Ginger is doing fine, as well as can be expected, though the mental deterioration has taken place. I will soon be thinking of different ways to pamper her.

There has been a lot going on, which I am excited to share with everyone. Look for our next post that will explain everything coming up probably tomorrow!
Have a beautiful day!🌻🐾🐾🌻

Happy Monday! 🦋
It feels so good to not have to go to work. I quit my job because of too many reasons to list, not excuses, but legitimate, legal reasons. My prediction is that place won’t last much longer.

Anyway, I want to bring to fruition a successful gardening business with my son. This way I can stay at home.🪴 We’ve already begun the garden. Today we will order our greenhouse. I realize this may take a few years to develop fully and be lucrative. That’s all right, everything has its own time. If I have to go out into the workforce again 😖, so be it. But it won’t be for long and it won’t be much.

Having those last couple jobs has really shown and proved to me that that is not my path to travel.🛣️ A home base job such as this gardening business, is what resonates with me above all.🌿 I really believe I can make it work. Does anybody here have a gardening business where they sell seeds, cuttings, micro greens…?

And what do you think the Doxies think of this? Do you think they will be happy that I don’t have to leave them for long hours for an awful job that saps the energy right out of me? Yes! They will be relieved that I can stay with them at home.🥰
We’re looking forward to our next new adventure !😃🌱🪴

I want to thank everybody for their concern for Ginger’s health. I’ve got great news! She has gained weight and is doing much better.
I took her in for a multitude of tests, which proved all normal, except for her liver enzymes, which are now back to normal thanks to a drug called Denamarin. It seems like Ginger is showing slight dementia symptoms. She is deaf now, so that could be part of it.
So, she baffles the vets. She now has four different veterinarians, in hopes that we could have different opinions, but they all were the same. So after all the money was spent on trying to find a diagnosis, there still is none! And now we are done! And I am satisfied enough for that, because in life we can’t find all the answers or conclusions. But I am tremendously grateful to God, after all the prayers, that Ginger is doing so much better.

She is most active in the morning right out of bed. She likes to roll around, stretch and play with Rocco. But she’s not so keen on going for walks in familiar places much anymore. But get her in an area that is new and she’s happy to go.😄
Say hi to lovely Ginger!❤️🌸💜

Sweet Rocco loves life! Beautiful summer.🌺
No outside frolicking today though. It’s 9:30 in the morning and it’s already 82° with a 73% humidity. It feels like 86 according to the weather and according to my judgment when I step outside. Since it’s my day off from working in the bakery, I will stay in the air conditioning and clean up the house today. 
No chasing butterflies today, Rocco !🐾🐾🐾🐾

How’s everybody doing on this beautiful day? Just thought that I would post this video from March. And from this, I will quickly catch up to the present videos.
I would really like to post more videos, though the vast majority will not get a notification for them. But I do have a few people who are interested who do see them.
This is the only time in my life I lived on a lake. It was enjoyable, though we were only on this lake a few times, because it was during the month of October through February.

Life has got so busy with us!
Ginger had her ultrasound yesterday. They gave her a sedative which made her disoriented and restless. She’s much better now. We don’t know the full results from the ultrasound yet, except that her adrenal glands are enlarged. They don’t think it’s Cushing’s disease. It’s just a puzzle we’re trying to figure out still.
I think she has the onset of dementia. She goes off and stares into odd places. I bought her some supplements last week for cognitive repair. Also, I purchased a couple of puzzle games for her for her cognitive retention. This is just a brief update.

Love to everyone following us. You all have a great and blessed day!🌻🐾🐾🌷

A wonderful day to to all! 😃
Working in the yard raking, creating a vegetable & herb garden, praising God for this day and for such very good friends, and for all the love that comes from them. 🥰

The doggies & I are doing well, though I tend to run out of energy more often, and Ginger seemingly has the onset of dementia. I have my concerns and doing all I can.

But … this is a happy post! And God has given us so very very much. The Great Lord is presenting my life with grand opportunities lately. I look around in amazement at how good I truly have it.😎

Look at your life and see the grand opportunities God has presented to you.
Go out and have a beautiful day!🌼🪴🌷

Good day to you!

We are beginning our walking program once again. I have backslid for a long time. Every animal/person/ needs to have a good amount of walks and exercise so their muscles don’t atrophy, and so they can have a longer & healthier life. Ginger seems to be losing muscle mass and Frankie also. 😕
Frankie has slowed down quite a lot and he’s losing his senses. He is 13 years old. It’s so sad to see him this way. I cry just thinking about it. He’s with my ex-husband now, and although I see him a few times a week, I’m going to see if I can have him for the most part again.

I’ve been going to church, including church functions, and I’ve been working 2 to 3 times a week all day at a job I can’t take them to. (I will not work anymore hours at the expense of my babies. I’ll just see if I can live in just several hundred dollars a month.)
When I come home, I have no energy. I feel like I’m doing them such an injustice. It’s not like the way it used to be. We used to be so happy and active, more connected. I feel like I’ve let them down, I’m not being who I should be for them.😞 I don’t have to explain all the feelings that I feel right now. I’m sure most of you have been through this.

So I’m trying to make more time for them and their health beginning today. Our dogs rely on us so much, and we let them down time and time again, at least I have. And then the guilt sets in…..

Hello everyone. We took Ginger in for a cPLI blood test for Canine Pancreatic Lipase Immunoreactivity. Upon the advice of
Debi Fusco Mrozowski, I decided to investigate. This may or may not be the problem.

We had an ultrasound scheduled for tomorrow, but since these blood results won’t be back for a full week, we canceled it. If we do not get an accurate diagnosis from this blood test, we will have to reschedule the ultrasound, which will probably take another 2 weeks. Meanwhile, she’s acting miserable in moments. She gets right in Rocco space and growls at him softly a lot, and she shivers a lot too. She’s comfortable when she’s laying down, seems content. And when she wakes up in the morning, she acts like her regular, self, rolling around on the rug and playing with Rocco. But after breakfast, she’s not herself.

Thank you, everyone for your prayers. Keep praying that she’ll be fine. She’s such a wonderful, smart and absolutely beautiful doxie, and I love her so very much.💞
