Woohoo Happy Dance Time!


Finally!! Husband came home from working out with his fellow Navy crew, and tossed me the priority mail package that contained Spike's NuVet pills!! Talk about a grown adult doing the happy dance!! I so was guilty! He scarfed down three multi-vitamin wafers easily, and even if it's in my head, I felt a little better.  Like I said from the beginning, there is no miracle pill for any disease whether it be human diseases or animal, but sometimes having something to put faith in helps to ease the pain.  I know that before too long Spike will be blind, but as long as I am doing everything I can to try and fight it and figure things out, I'll feel better when all is said and done. We have raised about an average of $200.00 a week which has paid for Spike's visits to both his regular vet for in-between eye pressure checks, and the expensive animal eye specialist that has the job of helping us decide what's best.  We still have so far to go If we are to ease the pain and suffering, Spike feels ever day, and have one of the surgeries he needs to have for long term peace and a happier life.  I'm doing all I can to try and do this on my own, but its not enough.  I'm running out of ideas, options, and energy.  I know how easy it is to sit there and read this, and in a few seconds or minutes close out this blog and never think about it again.  But I need your help.  Spike needs your help.   My husband is the military hero, not Spike.  But Spike is the hero to my son.  You can help make a difference.  That's all for now, have a blessed Monday night.

  1. I grew up with my Aunt's dog who was blind. He was totally amazing and was always able to find me.
    Here is a post that was written about it:

    Hoping and wishing that Spike will not be in pain.
