Peaks!

A very close friend and I have the analogy of peaks and valleys in our lives. There are often days when things just get too overwhelming. It could be the seizures, vomiting (from seizure meds), a new symptom and/or new doctor to chase down... We call these times valleys. Then there are the peaks!! We ended the week in a peak... It was the email from a mom with N***'s disorder. Her daughter is 32 years old... It was also another sweet note left on my blog with well wishes for us. It is amazing how many folks, friends and even strangers, share our joy of a dog! They humbly leave such sweet messages wishing us good experiences! They look forward to following our journey. Don't ever let anyone say that there are not good people in the world... Our North Star experience has proved otherwise!

I've attached a few new pictures as our dog is now one month old!! We are looking forward to our visit in April. An update on the pups can be found at: http://northstardogs.com/northstarnews.shtml

Which One?

So, here's the first picture of our North Star Dog!! Not sure exactly which one it will be... One of my children has suggested all 11!!!

I've already spoken to Patty, North Star. We've begun the planning. It is all so exciting!! I have even spoken to one of the trainers. She'll be doing "specialty" training. That will be for public access and the seizure alert/response training. We'll have another trainer who will work on the more basic commands and tasks.
How great is this???

Good News!

From Patty Gross, North Star:
"I have wonderful news this morning! Rosie had eleven lovely and very healthy puppies over the weekend! All the puppies are thriving and Rosie is doing well nursing and caring for them!"

From Me, Anxious Mom:"Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah! Yeah!"
