It's Saturday! I'll start with the dog. Last Saturday, my husband brought home a rescue dog. Her name is Melania (my son named her). We have named most of our animals after family members, so she'll be called Mel for short. Mel is my sisters' name. We have had a Meredith, Johnny, Marky and Jimmy, they are my niece and nephews names. I know we're a little kooky and it has gotten confusing when the person and pet are together 😁!! Melania has been diagnosed with whip worms, which means her poop has to be picked up immediately so it doesn't contaminate the soil. Okay, I just stopped having to deal with all my own crap issues and now I have to deal with her shit!? Man. it never ends! She also has serious separation anxiety, which is causing me to have serious anxiety. It's been very hard and if the medication and behavioral modification doesn't work, we will have to rethink this situation. She is basically a good girl, as long as we are with her. This is a tough situation and has caused many tears. I'm praying all this stuff we are trying works for her, because she doesn't need someone else giving her up. My health will come first if push comes to shove, but I'm hoping it doesn't come to that.
Last night I received a surprising phone call from one of our State Representatives. Danbury Day is taking place at our State Capitol and I am one of the honorees! Holy craprooie! They are honoring two Democrats and two Republicans and it takes place in May. State Rep. Gucker said that I'm being honored because of my 10 years of service on the City Council, my advocacy for blood cancers and bone marrow donation and my years of organizing the "Walk of Honor". I am humbled and shocked. The delegation will also be doing a tribute to Marian Anderson, who was the first African American singer to perform as a member of the Metropolitan Opera. Miss Anderson's studio is still standing in Danbury, CT. It is going to be a very cool day.
Tomorrow is blood work day for me. Please say a little prayer that all is still fine.
That's all for now.
Peace out Peeps!
Prayers to you, Lee and Melania....
