Thanks for asking about me. Today I got my new dog ! And yes, I didn't want to jinx it by posting sooner. I am concerned about the health of it though. It is a Mini Pincher/Schnauzer Mix from a local pound. It is just precious as can be. Black and Rust colored and underweight. It is about 6 months old and weighs 8.1 lbs. Got it today and has not eaten yet. Just drinks water. Tempted it with good food, but just open mouth a couple times like it wanted it, but didn't eat. Loves to be petted and held. A good little lap dog for sure. Has not barked yet either. My friend who picked it up for me said it was running and bouncing around yesterday. May be just tired out. Just wanted to sun itself today and sleep in my lap.
ALS is making it hard for me to walk in the back yard on uneven ground. Was mowing that yard this past summer and didn't have that much trouble. Suspect my left ankle and foot are a little weaker. Thats where my dog comes in, now I will be doing more outside walking and hopeful incease strengh in that area. Also started taking anti-depressants I have been storing up as of 3 days ago. My crazy wife does not bother me as much now and my emotions are back in check like days of old. The wife still threatens me every few days, so I really still could end up homeless if she moves and sells the house out from under me as she threatens. But the meds keep the depression of the future a little more in check after some really dark days and thoughts lately. The dog helps a whole lot there too. But I do worry about his health.
