One Beautiful Life

Here are the doggies... sock eatter and drama queen. Dusty just keeps growing like a weed and Lodie keeps trying to die! Lodie, the mini-schnauzer, is officially on her 7th life! She has come close to the pearly gates on three attempts with pancreatitis and liver failure. Next, she walked off a dock at the lake into 35 foot waters and went up under a dock. Luckily, the docks owner jumped in and found her beneath the dock, suspended in the water, and pulled her to the top (very much the less dramatic version of this story). After Don and I gave her mouth to mouth three times and he slung her in the air (vet trick)... she twiched... and slowly came back. Then she fell down the flight of about 20 something stairs at the lakehouse... then she pulled the trick at home. Upon arrival at the bottom, she leaned her head back and moaned. By the time Don got me out of bed, she was pooing and I thought she was a gonner. Don went and got a couple pieces of food to try and get her to move... after about 5 minutes of begging, she decided to give us another go, got up, shook all over, and ate her food. She's acted fine since! DRAMA...
