Life, up date
It has been a long time from my last post. I am doing some what better with the loss of my beloved Hope. some days are better than others. We did adopt a puppy her name is Issabella. We enjoy her, but she can not replace Hope.
Kristi our baby turned 18 years old. That one is hard at times. where did the time go?? She is a senior in high school and going to college, time has gone by so fast. Our oldest daughter Dejah is expecting our fourth grandbaby on my birthday November 1st. We are so happy and can not wait for the new baby.
My friend Annie's daughter, Jennifer, who is 25 years old, had emergency surgery due to she has cancer. Jennifer is getting married in December. Her husband to be and his family are a blessing to them all. They are sad that Jennifer can not have babies any more, but they say they will love any child brought into the family. Annie is having a hard time, she is heartbroken. Jennifer is waiting for her results to start cemo.
I think that is it. I will be posting more, getting out of this rut.

All most 2 weeks and Dogs
Sunday night will be two weeks sence my daughter/dog hope went home to the Lord. I have been a mess and still am! I have such a hard time sleeping. Hope always slept with me, now she is not there. Her ashes have come back and they are under my pillow. I have not been eating well, as it is hard to eat. I look for her everywhere , then cry because she is not there. Last night my body had enough, I crashed at 7:30 pm and woke up at 10:am then I crashed again at 1pm to 3:30pm. I have gone down 2 sizes in jeans. I am just so lost with out her.
Shayna our middle daughter is looking for a new home for her wolf. That is hard because they pick a person and that is it. When she moved out she was going to be moving the wolf with her. But the people she lives with are afraid of him. So the wolf has been here and hard because he fights with the other males. Shayna does not have enough time to put into him.
With Hope gone to the Lord and the Wolf moving soon we will be done to 5 dogs. We also have freckles at almost 17 years old will be here as long as the Lord lets her be.
We have 3 breeding goldens for our service dog company, and 1 half wolf. We will be adding a small house dog in a few weeks to months.
Prayer needed 2 deaths
Our family is in need of prayer. The 1st one is for me. My daughter Hope passed away last night. For those of you who no me , Hope is my dog. I have had Hope for 11 years and 3 months. She is/was the one who saved my life many times, she would warn me before I had an allergic reaction. Hope is the dog in the picture on my page. This is very hard for me as to me she was a daughter, best friend and so much more. Hope slept in my arms at night or on my feet, she was always with me. I need prayer to help me with her passing. This hurts so bad. Hope was born in my hands and died in my hands. I can't believe she is gone.
The second one is for my daughters boyfriend. His oldest sister passed on Saturday at the age of 31 in a car accident. What is very had about her passing is she has two babies boys age 6 and 10 years old. The boys lost their dad in a car accident 2.5 years ago. They have no parents left. The family is having a hrad time with their loss. As we all are. Please keep us all in your prayers.

Happy News,a new grandblessing
Our oldest daughter Deej stopped by today on her way to a friends wedding to see us. What a blessing that was. I have not seen her in months. Deej and her hubby Joesph live about an hour away. They both work many hours, it is hard to get my hubbies hours to match theirs so we can see them.
Deej told me that after a year of just her and Joesph time alone they are ready to start a family!! We are so happy for them and us as well another grandchild  !!!! We can't wait. God is so good.
They are on the right track. The got married a year ago Sept, they bought a house , had time for just them and now are ready for a family. We are verry proud of her. I can't wait for the call saying mom we are having a baby.... God is so good.
Test Dummies
I have 2 free test dummies! Yup, 2 of my husbands co-workers have been my test dummies. I have been sending my husband to work with lunch made from home. I normally do, but now he is sharing more with them. They have loved my beef soup, navey bean soup, pork chops, steak sauce over rice. One has even had their wife try to copy my soups, but can't get it right, yet. I asked my hubby did you tell them??? He says no not yet, maybe in a few days.
Then he told them it is all wheat free. One guy was shocked, he just loved my pork chops, he could not tell the difference. He loved my country gravey too. Tomorrows lunch is bacon, fried potatos and biscuts with gravey. I hope they like it. I am going to keep sending lunch for my husband and the test dummies. I am testing foods that I am putting in my wheat free cook book. I have about 300 meals. I am not going to test all 300 meals, it would take way to long.
My family and hubbies loves my cooking. They ask for me to make them my wheat free items. Or for me to bring my wheat free stuff to family events. They like some things better than the stuff that has wheat in it.
When I was told no more wheat YEARS ago I cooked 2 meals at dinner. One for hubby and the girls and then one for me. I got tired of that fast and started making one meal, a wheat free meal. I still make hubby his cake and cookies and other things that have wheat in them. But I also will make the same items wheat free for me.

Husband decide about grandma
Thank you for all your prayers and advice on the grandma living with us stuff. Husband has decided that grandma will not live with us. Hubby is thinking that this is our time, his and mine. We have had babies from the start and now that our youngest will be 18 years old in March. She is the last one living at home, we have time for just us. Some might say we are looking out for just us, but we are not, it is just to much for Kristi and I to do. We run our dog breeding and training business and our ranch. Plus Kristi is a senior and a full time college student. We are enjoying each other and being free of babysitters , pet sitters and so on. Hubby says that his mom needs to take care of grandma (her mom). My mom in law Darline, who does not work , nor does her husband, they can care for grandma. We will help out and visit grandma. We were seeing her 4 times a week before she moved out on her own with hubby cousin. It was hard for us/he to decide this. Part of it is also we do not know what the out come of my leg is yet. My Dr. is thinking of a new ankle for me. If that happens I am back to semi bed rest and recovery for months, as my leg is still not healed all the way 25 months latter!! On my C.T sacn you can see all of my breaks, some healed , some not yet. I did a good job when I broke it. My mom always said to use ALL your checks (butt) and do it right! But now she tells me not to do such a good job!! Thank you again for your advice.

What to do??
Hubby , Kristi and I are at a loss as what to do. I am hoping that you guys might offer some advice for us. Hubbies grandma moved out of her hospital/home. She needs 24 hour care. She moved out of there and moved in with one of hubbies cousins. That only lasted a few days due to grandma was to much for his cousin to care for. Grandma would run around naked, not use the potty and so on. Grandma was placed in the hopital again and then sent to a home waiting for a place in a different home or to be sent home with a family member.
Hubbies mom wants grandma to come live here with us as Kristi and I are home more than the other children. We would have to care for her in shifts as some one has to be with her at all times. But the hard part is we (kristi and I) have a life too. We own and run service dog training company and breed goldens. We own a ranch that we need to finish building, we home school and Kristi is also going to college, we are involved in our church, and so on.
We want to help , but we will need help too. That is alot to put on just Kristi and I. There are other family members who do not work or own a business or two, that could help , but wont. Our whole life style will change again. We wont be able to just escape to ride our horses or go out with out having a babysitter. Hubby and I are enjoying this time ,as our baby is 17 years old, she'll be 18 in March, we have more time for each other now.... But, but, but!! We rather grandma be with family, but we all need to pitch in for caring for her, not just leave it up to 2 people. UUGGHHH, what to do?? Any ideas would be great!! Blessing's Mj
P.s. This is for long care until grandma goes home to the Lord.
Rain , Rain Go away, puppies are coming soon
We are having so much rain come down!! Our ranch has it's own lakes , yup lakes. The ducks and Mr. McGoose are in hog heaven. They are going from lake to lake swimming and just having fun. Tommie, Shayna's pig is not having as much fun he plays in the water for a minute and then is done and it's turn the water off!! The horses are doing ok, Cody is in the barn , stormy is in his pasture with his barn, the ponies are running and have shelter in the barn.
The 2 wolves are trilling about the hippos and gaters in their water. They stay in their houses and trill. The other 5 dogs are in and out of the house all day long. Our yard looks like a lake with a few rivers. I could take a boat and flaot over to my mom's house 13 house away. The water covers the whole street. Ugghhh. We have 2 more days of rain coming.
Kristi is in Texas visiting my best friend / sister Janet and her daughter Mya, Mya and kristi should be twins. Poor Janet. Kristi was to come home today but due to our rain storms she will be home this weekend. We miss her and need her.
Her dog gracie is about ready to pop! She is so huge, we wonder how many puppies she will have?? We can't wait about another week to week in half left.

1st lesson learned this year and #195
I leared a real good lesson this year already. Yup, it even happened on New Years day. We have a new rescue a bearded dragon named Bentley. He is a mama's boy. New Years day Bentley had sand in his nose , bad. So being a good mom I picked the sand out of his nose. He bit me!! So I learned "do not pick your dragons nose"!  . When he had sand in it again we took him to the reptile store and asked how do we get the sand out his nose, they picked it out and did not get bit! They told us to change his litter we did, it worked!
Number 195 and no it is not my weight. I had another allergic reaction last week and ended up in the hospital again. One of the ambulance men was our home school leader, he stayed with me at the hospital (even though my mom and Kristi were there) until my hubby got there. Some of the parmedics were the same ones. They were telling the new parmedics my history!! I wonder if I get a prize if/when I hit 200.

My broken leg
I wish I had a good up date on my broken leg, but sorry, no. It has been two years! And it is still not fixed!! As most of you know I broke my leg 12-27-07 cleaning up trash at out local park's creek. It rained a few days before and we wanted to make sure the creek was clean out of trash. We get our tadpole and crawdads from this creek, so we like to make sure it stays clean and it is a good home school science day. The girls keep an eye on some type of plants, animals and such to see if there any changes in them, the good or the bad stuff.
I was just walking on the path and slipped 3 feet and broke my leg and ankle. I had to roll over to get my body to match the way my foot and leg was facing. The ambulance take me to a different hospital than the one we go to because they have a bone Dr. on call. The girls are in my truck behind the ambulance. We get there and I do not remember much it seems like time just flew in the er. One minute my lids are there and the next my hubby is. I looked at him and said sorry, he laughed and said he was sorry! The Dr.'s gave me a shot to put me to sleep so they could try and line it all up no luck, they woke me up and said you have to have surgery. Both mu hubby and I were saying N O!! I am to have surgery due to my lungs are damaged from have soooo many allergic reactions. They told us I have no choice. I meet my bone Dr. and hubby and I gave him my medical history and the Dr. was so nice and made me feel good!! He said he was scared poopless to do surgery on me! ThanksI feel REAL safe!
I was going into surgery I put my grandfathers (bubba) chain on Kristi and gave her my medicine bag that I never take off unless it is to shower. I told my family bye and how much I love them. In to surgery I went, I asked them before they put me under for a flat belly, a firm chest or a new baby boy. They looked at me and I told then every time before I went under I would get to wake up with a new baby. I wanted a baby this time or a firm body, they laughed. I was in surgery for longer than they said and hubby was getting real scared.
I come out and am out of it but I am happy to see my family. The Dr. latter asked me REALLY how did you do this?? Are you sure you weren't in a motorcycle accident??? He just stopped asking this question about a month ago.
I was on bed rest for almost 5 months. I could not run my house nor my ranch. My life has been on hold for so long even till this day. I have not rode my pony in two years, I have not finished what I was building two years ago, my barn has stayed the same, I need to finish it, My life is still on hold kinda. I can not move my ankle right yet and wont be able to. When we go to places like Disneyland I can not walk long or right yet. Some times I get stuck and will fall becaus emy leg gives out and the pain...... I lived in bad daily pain until my last surgery in Sept, now it is still painfull but some days not as bad. Some days I want a new leg!! But I have learned a lot during this time, God made sure of that. I had my ct scan done on my leg 2 weeks ago and I am waiting to go see my bone Dr. He tells me I have 3 choices 1, is live in pain, 2, is fuse my ankle, 3, is get a new ankle. I was going for number 1 but my Dr. thinks number 3 would be best so I can ride and rebuild my ranch. Time will tell.
It is just that 2 years latter you would think that my leg would be fixed, but nope. The last surgery made life easier and less pain but were not done yet.
Here are the pictures:
In the hospital
 1st peak on one side:
 Cast changing 1 side:

So here I am 2 surgerys, 2 pins (removed) 8 screws, 1 plate later still waiting to be fixed, opps and 2 years later.
