All Things Big and Small

It has been a few weeks since I have updated the blog. I am not great at it anyway and these past few weeks have been something else.
It started on Jan.28th when I started feeling bad and my throat hurt. I stayed out of work on the 29th and went to the doctor. To make a long story short I ended up in the ER on Sunday with a terrible case of strep throat. I missed the entire next week at school. I ended up taking five different antibiotics and I still do not feel great.
The Monday after the ER experience my husband had to take Aden our dog to the vet again. He had been sick the week before but had seemed to be better. They scared me to death because they thought it was maybe his heart. I was sick and I mean on top of the strep. Aden is like a baby to us. He is spoiled rotten. Again to make a long story short the vets did everything they could and he is better. It took a long time but it was worth him being well.
We went with our oldest daughter, her family and Heather to a dog show in Greenville last Saturday and saw a heart specialist and after checking Aden he said that his heart is fine and he even re-checked his lungs and said they were clear. Some people may think we are crazy but we love our pets and we had all prayed that he would be ok. He is part of our family. Even my sister and one brother and his wife called to check on Aden and said they would be praying that he would be ok. Heather has six dogs and I could not tell you how many Tamara has since they own a dog breeding business. Heather has her own rooms added to our house and she keeps her dogs mainly in her rooms but we love them and it would be awful if something happened to one of them. It hurts me awful if something happens to the dogs that Tamara is going to sell much less the ones she has as pets. God gave us animals and I think he meant for us to love them if we are going to have them.
All three of us seem to have a cold and have just laid around today. We all need to work next week so I figure we need to take care this weekend and do all we can to be better. Even Aden has laid around to support us...Carson, our cat too..
I am very thankful that God takes care of all things big and small. He wants us to bring all things before him. Everything in our lives belong to him. What better friend could we have? One that cares even for our pets. The bible tells us to praise Him in all things big and small, good or bad. What a blessing to have such a friend!!!
