Update on the Pup

Things are going a little better around our house. Keep your fingers crossed and say a little prayer for us.

Sophie is doing much better. She is about 3/4 the way back to her normal self. She is again playing with her toys and barking at the neighbor kids as they ride by on their bikes.

We are scheduling her surgery tomorrow for sometime this week. We are hoping this is the only thing we have to do with her for a while. We love this dog dearly, but her medical costs are just piling up on us. Thank goodness for payment plans. It just feels like our whole life is a payment plan.

We aren't quite sure where this money is going to come from to pay for the total surgery for Soph. We are relying a lot on God for all these decisions we are making lately.

I guess this will just teach us how to cut back on expenses even more. Coupons are going to be my friend. No more date nights for a while. Homemade meals from scratch. Buying Alden some used clothes.

We are just down to the wire. I just needed to vent about it. It's amazing how much money can affect your life. It effects it even more when you don't have enough. :(

through it all, we have our beautiful healthy son, our dog, our families who love us and that is all that matters.
