Hi guys. I know I havent been around. I'm still not doin so great. I am haing trouble walking, writing, spelling, and I can't tie my shoes. They are sending physical therapists to my houdse three times a week to help me. What I need support on is something entrirely different though. As m0st of you know I have two dogs. Dew and Van. Van is 14 years old and I havew had him since he was 5 weeks old. He is my very best friend. Dew came to see me in the hospotal because he is small and therefore more portable. But Van is truly my baby. I have had him for half my life. He is the only animal I ever had that was truly mine and mine alone and he saw me through many rough tiumes in my life. Well, he's sick. He has been on heart and arthrituts drugs for awhile now because he is just winding down. Now he is having trouble walking and he peed in the house because he couldnt walk to get outside initime. All he does is pant and pant and that is a sign that his heart is in trouble again. Please keep Van and I in your heart and prayers as I take him to the vet. We are actually going to see if we can get my vet to make a house call since he loves Van so much and I am recooperating and am not up to going out a lot yet. I'm afraid it is getting to be that time I have been dreading ever since I found out that Van had a heart condition. I'm crying typing this. I don't want to lose my best friend. I sdont think I could bear it right now. Especially since I made a promise to Van years ag that I would hold him and look directly into his eyes as they stuck the needle in his arm. I want his last thing to see on earth to be my face loving him. So please everyone, keep us in your thoughts and prayers. I'm not ready. Love always, Taylor
