Comfort Food

Due to our sad news we received yesterday about Ardie...the whole family enjoyed a evening of comfort food....it made us all feel a little better...so we will continue the trend and have a whole weekend of comfort food.......Ardie enjoyed a diet yesterday of 6 pieces of peanut butter bread...this was before the Doctors visit....followed by a nice big bowl of buttered popcorn when we got home...and finished the evening off with a steak grilled a perfect medium rare... the people in the household had macaroni and cheese with chili mixed in and jalapeno poppers...I am sure Dylan was going I don't think this is what the Doctor ordered !!!!!wheres the fruit and veggies!!!! Unfortunately Ardie is not responding to the pain medication...he is on 23 pills a day total..3 times a day...just finished his 3rd round this morning and no indication that they are helping at all...he still will not put any weight on his leg...and besides getting up to go the bathroom or get water he is pretty immobile...but still seems pretty darn content especially with all the extra hugs, back rubs, and treats....I made a appointment for Monday morning so we will have all weekend to be with each other.....losing Solomon was tough....but nothing like my Ardie we have been good friends for almost 9 years now...we have been thru alot together...all really good memories...he has always been my rock...and thru all that he is going thru...he still remains that way...my rock...he is doing his best to hide his pain....and put his best foot forward...anyone that has ever had the chance to meet Ardie...knows just how special he really is....he is a one of kind dog...people have always been drawn to him...especially children....he recently was a guest at St Marys Children School here in Cheyenne...he was a huge hit...he originally was there to visit one classroom but was such a hit he made it thru the entire first floor of classrooms....with at least 15 kids at a time swarmed on top of him...lots and lots of pictures were taken that day....even the cafeteria lady brought him a sandwich....he was happy truly happy...I so wanted Ardie to be able to meet baby Dylan...I know how proud and happy he would be to have his own little baby to watch over..........I guess he will do so from heaven...... but heaven will have to wait we still have chocolate chip pancakes on the menu this morning.........to be followed by greasy cheeseburgers and fries for lunch..........
