Busy day today, and a busier week, my Little Carmi Dog had to go for an all day long test to check for Cushings disease she has to be there from 8-5 poor little Carmi. Hopefully Mike remembers to pick her up because I have to been in the Hospitality room at H-BR at 5 to help set up for Regional s. Cooking 4 big chickens to make chicken over biscuits for tomorrow. Cooking for Fri. too but that can wait.    My  baby is going to be 18 tomorrow . I can't believe it where did the time go?Big B-Day party at Pizza Villa Sat. to celebrate Sam's 18th. When did  I ever have time to work. Well wish me luck that I can get it all done this week and survive because next week is FFA Banquet and lots to do for that too. Everyone have a great week. DMK

Well it seems that Carmi is feeling a little better. The vet said it is hard to tell how bad the liver damage is until she has been on the meds for a while and is retested. Her big problem is holding down the little bit of food she seems to get down. She does seem a little more alert then before. Sent out some more scholarships today hope Sam gets something with all the work he has done on these. Time to clean my house now talk to you all later. DMK

I don't know why I had more time when I worked but I just never seem to be able to get everything done in a days time. This week my little dog Carmi got sick. I took her to the vet and they did tests and we are waiting on the results. It could be a bladder infection but it could be something bad we will wait and see. I really have become attached to this little dog and with Sam being as busy as he is and with Mike well....being Mike she has been great company for me and I do not deal with pet loss well so I hope the news is good.  I as I have said before have been helping Sam with scholarships and he had one that he could not do on the computer. His hand writing is worse than bad so I had to did my typewriter out of the closet and Sam said "hey I have never seen one of those in person only in pictures!" LOL I guess I am getting old. My other news this week is that I got accepted to NIU, I transferred everything and am going to try to finish my degree there. I hope everyone had a great week talk to you soon. DMK
