Our boxer, Cujo was really sick yesterday. He is such a happy, energetic little guy and yesterday he just wasn't himself. He didn't dig any holes, or get in the garbage, or help me do the dishes. He didn't even do his prancy dance. So about 4 he started feeling hot and I called the vet. Thankfully they said bring him right in. They looked him over and couldn't find anything obvious, but he did have a high fever. They are doing a blood test for valley fever, and he is on antibiotics. He started coming around about 4 this afternoon. Thank God! The light came back on in his eyes and he drank alot and even ate. Hopefully he will be back to his digging, trashy self tomorrow.
I hope that noone is offended by my music video. I just love the song. It makes me want to dance!!

See how much our kids love us!!
About Me

- I have been married to the love of my life for 23 years. We have 4 children who are 23, 21, 18 and 17, and are expecting our first grandchild in November. I work in surgery part time at Phoenix Children's Hospital, and thankfully I like my job because of benefits I am stuck. Since working there I have been diagnosed with Scleroderma, so am uninsurable. God put me there for a reason! Scleroderma has defintely impacted my life in a huge way, but I am not going to let it take over my life. It has taught me to value every day and everyone so much more. I am truly a better person because of the disease.

Teresa, I can't see anybody's videos anymore. :( I don't know what the problem is.
I'm so glad Cujo is feeling better. What is valley fever?
Cujo has my prayers.
Michelle,
Valley fever is a fungal disease that affects the respiratory system. It is found in spores in the dirt, and is more prevelant this time of year. It affects humans as well as dogs. It is curable, but the treatment is 6-12 months. My sisters dog had it, but she also had alot of other illnesses so her prognosis was really poor.
When humans get it sometimes it isn't even deteceted until a chest x ray reveals scarring years later.
