LIFE MOVES ON

I HAVEN 'T WRITTEN IN A WEEK.............

WE TOOK MISTY AND CRYSTAL TO THE VETS.....CRYSTAL HAD A SEIZURE RIGHT IN THE VETS OFFICE..........WE ARE HAPPY SHE SAW IT CRYSTAL IS NOW A CONFIRMED EPILEPTIC, AND SHE IS ON PHENOBARD TWICE A DAY........I HAVE TO KEEP A JOURNAL OF HER SEIZURE ACTIVITY, FOR THE NEUROLOGISY VET.......CRYSTAL WILL BE HAVING An MRI OF HER BRAIN....I PUT THE MEDS INTO PEANUT BUTTER....SHE LIKES IT THAT WAY...IT TAKES ABOUT 20 MINUTES TO 1/2 HOUR FOR HER TO LICK THE SPOON CLEAN.....I TRY TO MAKE A GAME OUT OF IT............SHE WILL BE ON THIS FOR THE REST OF HER LIFE.

AND LITTLE MISTY....SHE HAS DIABETES, AND WAS PUT ON LANTUS INSULIN, TWICE A DAY, AND ANTIBIOTICS..........OH WELL

WITH CRYSTAL, THOUGH, I DON'T SEE HOW ANYONE COULD BE SO CRUEL...........IF YOU KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT ELIZABETH, NEW JERSEY, YOU CAN JUST IMAGINE WHAT KIND OF A PERSON DID THIS TO HER..........TIED HER UP ON A HOT AUGUST DAT TO A POLE......A WOMAN AT THE VET TOLD ME SHE READ AN ARTICLE ABOUT CRYSTAL IN THE STAR LEDGEr...HER SON IS A POLICEMAN IN ELIZABETH, and he told her about it....O, CRYSTAL IS A FAMOUS DOG!!!!!!.......WE ARE STILL LOOKING FOR the article on-line.....

WE ARE THINKING THIS LITTLE DOG MUST HAVE BEEN HIT ON THE HEAD, OR EXPOSED TO TOXIC DRUGS.....WE DON'T KNOW..........

....BUT WE LOVE HER SO MUCH.........AND SHE PUTS A SMILE ON OUR FACE!!!!!!!

THIS JOURNAL

I KNOW THIS JOURNAL IS ABOUT THE LIFE OF A PRISON WIFE, BUT I HOPE EVERYONE WILL LIKE TO READ IT!
MY HUSBAND HAS BEEN HOME FROM PRISON FOR 2.1 YEARS.......NOW I FEEL LIKE WRITING ABOUT DIFFERENT THINGS............JUST ABOUT LIFE!........
AT FIRST, WHEN JIMMY WENT TO PRISON, ON MARCH 28, 2003, I FELT LIKE A CRUSHED WOMAN....NOW, LITTLE BY LITTLE THINGS HAVE CHANGED.
NOW, WE ARE FINALLY COMING INTO THE PRESENT MOMENT..........
JIMMY WILL BE ON PAROLE UNTIK THE SUMMER 2009.

NOW FOR SOME SAD NEWS.
JIMBO, OUR 16YEAR OLD SOMALIAN CAT DIED 2 WEEKS AGO. YOU CAN SEE HIM ON THE PIX (MISTY IS WASHING HIM)...........HE JUST STOPPED EATING, AND THIS WAS A CAT WHO LOVED TO EAT! WE BOUGHT HIM TO THE VET.....JIMBO HAD DIABETES AND AN INFECTION.........HE WAS IN VERY BAD SHAPE........HE WAS EUTHANIZED......I REALLY DON'T BELIEVE IN EUTHANASIA, BUT IN THIS CASE, IT WAS THE RIGHT THING TO DO.
WE WILL GO AND PICK UP JIMBOS ASHES LATER TODAY.
I HAVE BOUGHT CATS SINCE THE TIME THEY COULD SIT IN THE PALM OF MY HAND.........
JIMMY IS VERY MUCH AFFECTD BY THIS......HE LOVED JIMBO VERY MUCH.......JIMBO WOULD SIT IN THE KITCHEN WHILE JIMMY COOKED, CRYING AND SCREAMING FOR FOOD........JIMMY WAS ALWAYS CERTAIN THE LITTLE JIMBO HAD A LOT OF FOOD....AND HE FEEDS ALL THE PETS, AND PUTS DOWN FRESH WATER SEVERAL TIMES A DAY.
EVERY NORNING, JIMBO WOULD CLIMB UPON JIMMY'S CHEST, AT 5 AM.
JIMMY CHANGES THE LITTER, AND ALSO WALKS THE DOGS.....
...........YES, WE WILL MISS JIMBO

COLUMBUS DAY

TODAY IS COLUMBUS DAY1 EARLIER I WAS WATCHING THE COLUMBUS DAY PARADE ON TV...
YESTERDAY, JIMMY AND I WENT TO SEASIDE TO ENJOY THE EVENTS...........THERE WAS A COMBUS DAY PARADE THERE, AND AN ITALIAN FESTIVAL THERE.....OH YEAH, WE'RE SO LUCKY TO BE ITALIAN!.....(i have blonde hair and blue eyes, so no one would believe it!)
THERE WERE ZILLIONS OF PEOPLE THERE, AND THE WEATHER WAS BRIGHT AND SUNNY AND WARM. AFTERWARDS WE WENT UP ON THE BOARDWALK AND SAT ON A BENCH, LIKE WE NORMALLY DO. STILL, SO MANY PEOPLE!..........SO WE ENJOYED A SAUSAGE AND PEPPER SANDWHICH AND SHARED A SLICE OF PIZZA...........THE SEAGULLS WERE FLYING ALL AROUND US, AND ONE NEARLY LANDED ON MY HEAD! (he was about an inch above my head!)..........IN THE LATE AFTERNOON, THE OCEAN BREEZE BLEW IN AND I FELT A LITTLE COOL.....SO JIMMY WENT TO DUNKIN DONUTS ON THE BOARDWALK, AND BROUGHT ME A NIC CUP OF DELIOUS HOT COFFEE!

SO, ALL IN ALL, OUR DAY WAS A PLEASANT ONE!
