Douglas, being the big guy will get all goofy when he runs through the yard with the other two chasing him. MerkTavitch will do whatever it takes to keep everyone running looking back from time to time to make sure that the other two are tagging behind. And Cleo, our only girl pup is the typical kid sister. She doesn't know when to keep her nip to herself. She drives Doug nuts sometimes when she is standing up with her paws all over his back. And she is something of a big mouth. Constantly barking when she is happy and excited.<p></p>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17915184103997186094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730208279306820192.post-69314191565643734452023-12-31T14:44:00.000-08:002023-12-31T14:47:57.386-08:00Summer Fall Winter<p> This is the last day of 2023. This year was so complicated. We would take two steps forward and three back. August was filled with the County Fair. Victoria's last fair with the 4H Dog Program. We aren't stopping. The two of us are still running the program. We love the kids and the dogs.</p><p>Sammy passed away at the age of 17. I miss him under my feet, always having to touch me. </p><p>Victoria's health took a nose dive with daily IV infusions of fluids just to get her through the day and closer to her surgery date in September for a bowel resection. The doctors don't know what to diagnose Kaleb with. His extreme fatigue and muscle weakness has increased drastically. Daphne came down with the worse case of Shingles I have ever witnessed and her inflammation markers are sky high. </p><p>Victoria got her surgery and came through with good results, PICC line out, got a Hickman now in her chest for IV fluids. I never thought that normal meant Home Health nurse visits, IV bags, IV Zofran, tubing, and an IV pole. Abdominal drain of 11 1/2 months out and healed. College is on hold until she regains her energy.</p><p>Kirk is doing an excellent job at pastoring Cache Cowboy Church. He has fit into this position as he was meant to do all along.</p><p>Jared is a respected contractor and growing his business well. He just purchased a skidsteer cash. I know he has plans for it but I have great plans of clearing out the goat yard this spring with it. I can't wait!</p><p>My days are filled with caring for people as a NAET practioner. I can't imagine our family surviving without these treatments.</p><p>The New Year? 2024? What is ahead of us I have no idea but we are a resilent people. God has incredible plans for us and I can't wait to see what God has planned for us this year. </p>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17915184103997186094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730208279306820192.post-50094177056541700372023-09-06T06:32:00.002-07:002023-09-06T06:32:32.998-07:00July Explosions<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">July came in with a BANG!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Victoria is such a hard stick that her veins have had enough. She got a PICC line placed on July 3. I hadn't even really thought of it. I thought maybe we were over reacting but when the Home Health nurse said that she should have one, I was more confident in my observations. Everything is SO different when it is happening in your own living room. All my nursing skills have been uses to it's fullest potential lately. No more pokes for her. They can even draw blood through it. She is getting 2 L of fluids 3 times a week. Cross Trails Cowboy Church in Texas is sending her to Falls Creek Church Camp at the end of the month. This will make it so much easier for her to give herself fluids.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">She was commenting as we were driving down the road that you see weird stuff that people do in their cars and now she is one of them.

She was essentially in charge of the entire planning of the event. We are really proud of her. This was a tough year with all her health issues. She has managed to hang in there living with pain almost every day. She built a Team Building Obstacle course for her workshop. We came to the Dinner one of the nights. Kaleb saw this kid with a sequin dinner jacket and asked the kid if he could try it on!

They stayed in a lodge together and had a wonderful time. Some of the Seniors from Cross Trails wanted to kidnap Victoria and take her back to Texas with them. She had asked me what I would do if that happened. I said, Oh, I'd send you a plane ticket in about a week. She tolerates so much in a day because her body won't cooperate. She lives through pain, discomfort with the PICC line now, an abdominal drain that she has had for 8 months at this point, Crohn's pain, poor appetite, the list goes on. BUT....she manages to hang in there when she needs to. She crashed when we picked her up.

Kaleb and a few of the scouts had fun activities at their booth all day. Kaleb is such a great guy to the scouts. He is very encouraging to the boys and jumps right in along side to do the fun and the hard stuff. Kaleb dug out his Scout Blanket that I made for him. We have sewn all of the project patches on from his Cub Scout days all the way to Eagle and beyond. I loved reminescing over the patches.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fqz9ACy-e-Q/ZPNHwwY9q-I/AAAAAAAAYcI/_bOc3BLgPLEZ6RArRvR3eDQgOohTL6PhACPcBGAsYHg/s4160/IMG_20230527_104456.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-Fqz9ACy-e-Q/ZPNHwwY9q-I/AAAAAAAAYcI/_bOc3BLgPLEZ6RArRvR3eDQgOohTL6PhACPcBGAsYHg/w480-h640/IMG_20230527_104456.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Next to our booth, Victoria led a roping activity.

We weren't sure if she could use her paddle board without killing herself so she stayed sitting down. We eventually tied a rope to her and dragged her around the reservoir. We just adapted. It was good to see her out doing something in spite of the pain that she is always in. We were expecting the fistula to close and for the drain to be removed....but it is still here.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MhVu9ZOMvg4/ZPNHw3rkf5I/AAAAAAAAYcI/DhMkBDHEKJod_l5jG4eLkK6N-dBzaa_EACPcBGAsYHg/s4160/IMG_20230521_160058.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-MhVu9ZOMvg4/ZPNHw3rkf5I/AAAAAAAAYcI/DhMkBDHEKJod_l5jG4eLkK6N-dBzaa_EACPcBGAsYHg/w480-h640/IMG_20230521_160058.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Doug's head is heavy so he rests it on the window sill to look out the window.</div><br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O-pvs5pGT3Q/ZPNHwyKWi6I/AAAAAAAAYcI/n-6VTnAIYbobovy38vItcSV5FU4CUiqRwCPcBGAsYHg/s4160/IMG_20230519_070323.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="640" src="https://1.bp.blogspot.com/-O-pvs5pGT3Q/ZPNHwyKWi6I/AAAAAAAAYcI/n-6VTnAIYbobovy38vItcSV5FU4CUiqRwCPcBGAsYHg/w480-h640/IMG_20230519_070323.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>I bought Brody this ball.

He's really weak. His blood was so thin it was like Kool-Aid. It freaked me out. I looked at the Vet and he said "yep, it's not supposed to look like that". His x-ray showed Calcium balls in his gut. He is supposed to have surgery on them. I can't fathom him having surgery. He's too weak for surgery so being a reptile, we are giving him a fighting chance to see if they move out of his gut.

She has spent her first 12 months of life in a kennel outside with her previous owner. The owner contacted the Dog Program to inquire about rehoming her. With Jasper retiring from showing due to his physical health, we just knew that this dog was going to be Victoria's next show dog. Now she has a pretty turquoise bed in Victoria's room, her own toys, she can sleep on the bed with Victoria whom she feels that she needs to protect when she is sleeping. The first few days that we had her, she didn't want to go outside. We think she was worried that she wouldn't be let back in. After about a week she realized that this is her forever home and she can go in and out as she pleases.

She is a hard stick for IV's so she usually gets stuck a couple times. This one guy who once worked in NICU can usually get her IV on the first try. She kicks back in a nice recliner and watches a movie on the big screen TV or sleeps. Either way, pretty spoiled.<br /><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinF2WnMRv4hH5EYNxSQ3pTjbzqwSjLFwshjlkq133L8ojixTca4zVimGpcOIDLbv78FGnxrRZZfs7Jfo62yT26l7uafOPGL6dGbMN7iVvk6ktm6CodmV9BD4SXo-0vWHLix8z0Ph5KI-T3yAJlkQn2JqEcK_FBqkt9n_AE9utFNEl6S-2EiaPtluxdVaY/s4160/IMG_20230328_124257.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEinF2WnMRv4hH5EYNxSQ3pTjbzqwSjLFwshjlkq133L8ojixTca4zVimGpcOIDLbv78FGnxrRZZfs7Jfo62yT26l7uafOPGL6dGbMN7iVvk6ktm6CodmV9BD4SXo-0vWHLix8z0Ph5KI-T3yAJlkQn2JqEcK_FBqkt9n_AE9utFNEl6S-2EiaPtluxdVaY/w480-h640/IMG_20230328_124257.jpg" width="480" /></a></div>Now Doug chillin' in the snow.

Her drain hurts immensely and she can't keep any of the pain meds down let alone keep the anti nausea pills in her stomach. New diagnosis.......Small Bowel Obstruction. The ER doctor was trying to assign her new doctors, one of which we know would be pushing for surgery so I immediately started texting her GI surgeon and her GI doctor in Ogden. We convinced that the best thing to do was to let Victoria go home so she could make it to her scheduled GI appointment in Ogden. The third ER doctor that came in finally thought that it was a good idea and let her go home. So after 7 hours in the ER, getting her 10th IV since the first of the year, labs, drugs, you name it, she saw her GI doctor. No surgery for now. She has so many people praying for her. </p><p style="text-align: center;">We are starting a new week and we are demanding </p><p style="text-align: center;">NO ER THIS WEEK!! </p>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17915184103997186094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730208279306820192.post-63380229063989020992023-03-12T20:25:00.002-07:002023-03-12T20:25:49.417-07:00Is he Alive??<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both;

The snow level being so high, makes the fence very low. So it's easy for Doug to jump. But Victoria didn't think he was coming back soooooo she jumped the fence to chase him but started having bad chest pain. She has had chest pain for the past couple months but this time it was really bad. She managed to get Doug back but could barely make it home. Kirk and I were on our way to lunch with Kathy and Troy and got stuck in a traffic jam due to an accident on Main st. When Daphne called telling us what happened and in talking with Victoria who couldn't breath or talk, we called 911 to see who could make it home to her first.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It was a good thing I was driving. We beat the ambulance by just a couple minutes. They gave her three rounds of albuterol for severe wheezing and transported her to the ER.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It took three hours for her heart rate to drop. Now for a new diagnosis....she has C-Diff from being on antibiotics for so long. SO now shes on a new antibiotic.</div><div style="text-align: center;">It's pretty bad when the CT Scan people and the ER nurses recognize you.</div><div style="text-align: center;">Jared told Victoria she needs a Frequent Flyer Card for the ER.</div><p></p><p> </p>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17915184103997186094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730208279306820192.post-57511387747391687542023-03-12T20:08:00.003-07:002023-03-12T20:08:44.068-07:00Tons of Snow in February<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">If I hear anyone crying that we are in a drought....I will slap them silly!</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV8BRNQfp7Zwa41iOBlDr4gh21rIK_ew-Lgg0yRbI-1_QfZPwXfirseEepXb4afVK-NSF2fNni4s5AORXd9bGQcHc7FPYKRTzDjXvvBei2otZeiZWHvChgwoe402jJpHxdYYupfeecBk4tbgVGgOF7l2GmjF-gwbkzdmmkCEoocMByUmjQEZDO0MyW/s4160/IMG_20230222_103751.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgV8BRNQfp7Zwa41iOBlDr4gh21rIK_ew-Lgg0yRbI-1_QfZPwXfirseEepXb4afVK-NSF2fNni4s5AORXd9bGQcHc7FPYKRTzDjXvvBei2otZeiZWHvChgwoe402jJpHxdYYupfeecBk4tbgVGgOF7l2GmjF-gwbkzdmmkCEoocMByUmjQEZDO0MyW/w480-h640/IMG_20230222_103751.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Have a Seat</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQUsw5vCFTG74Q7nJlLV_ct5oqJkw_GT6zdAB8uEpKc401JN4hs_udFG_wpJ2FgkXTWh1OuOm9WricvHAaTyWvQ22x8z7lW7mVAbFaiieJz6EVd6Xs7pfh4udKdLn7ePi6XkAd9GgrXB3Wsd0hILvPsqeSC3Fhv19DUzielS-e1K1OhRLGqf1I7H-z/s4160/IMG_20230222_103741.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhQUsw5vCFTG74Q7nJlLV_ct5oqJkw_GT6zdAB8uEpKc401JN4hs_udFG_wpJ2FgkXTWh1OuOm9WricvHAaTyWvQ22x8z7lW7mVAbFaiieJz6EVd6Xs7pfh4udKdLn7ePi6XkAd9GgrXB3Wsd0hILvPsqeSC3Fhv19DUzielS-e1K1OhRLGqf1I7H-z/w480-h640/IMG_20230222_103741.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><div style="text-align: center;">Merk spent about 30 minutes digging in the snow playing with snowballs and ice.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFeUH45-sUG8o0eBO8z6sAuE1xWP3sOv5tC2EArwq7dyBHfkluQrCQBw7_3g2IRH9rshhiIM66rPjxvYi90qAHadrhtif0-Rs6ttHtd0DrFUrDHPTrjmIqc9a-DARqN_mDB0QVD5YKg0NK7JYKKXYWOdSqoh8wuC3M39KwXZs1qGWQ-XOUyZJhtvqK/s4160/IMG_20230222_102419.jpg" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" data-original-height="4160" data-original-width="3120" height="640" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjFeUH45-sUG8o0eBO8z6sAuE1xWP3sOv5tC2EArwq7dyBHfkluQrCQBw7_3g2IRH9rshhiIM66rPjxvYi90qAHadrhtif0-Rs6ttHtd0DrFUrDHPTrjmIqc9a-DARqN_mDB0QVD5YKg0NK7JYKKXYWOdSqoh8wuC3M39KwXZs1qGWQ-XOUyZJhtvqK/w480-h640/IMG_20230222_102419.jpg" width="480" /></a></div><p></p>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17915184103997186094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730208279306820192.post-39681340367961798202023-03-12T20:04:00.003-07:002023-03-12T20:04:48.032-07:004-H Rugrats<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Kirk usually comes with us to Dog 4-H every week to help.

She barely drives right now anyway because physically, she's not up to it with the way her body is acting. And when she does drive, she conveniently takes the truck because she claims that she would have to dig the car out. I don't know why we still have this thing. Nobody likes to drive it and it has been buried in the snow all winter!<br /> <p></p>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17915184103997186094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730208279306820192.post-23481261419939663232023-03-12T18:32:00.003-07:002023-03-12T18:32:35.290-07:001 Year Anniversary<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Cache Cowboy Church celebrated it's first year January 29th, 2023</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Our little church plant is pushing forward even with constant enemy attacks.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">We know for sure that we are on the right track with the number of attacks we endure on a daily basis.

Late on Saturday night we would turn out the Arena lights and put glow sticks on the dogs and around the equipment and let the kids run agility with glow sticks. Then we got moved and there is a light post right over our arena space that we can't turn out, so we save it for January when the kids and dogs need something fun to do. We turn out the lights in the arena and have a great time with treats, music and just messing around waiting for your turn to run agility with your dog. It's fun and a favorite for the kids. <br /> <p></p>Pamhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/17915184103997186094noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730208279306820192.post-21648801366115306262023-03-12T18:19:00.001-07:002023-03-12T18:19:58.596-07:004-H Winter Retreat<p></p><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I wasn't supposed to go.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">I didn't want to go.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">But, Victoria got another abdominal drain because the fistula from Crohn's Disease is still draining......so......I'm going to 4H Winter Retreat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">Which means, that I am helping with Winter Retreat.</div><div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">The Ambassador Leaders were happy I was going because then they didn't have to worry about Victoria.

It felt great getting out and her being able to actually do something because she didn't have this abdominal drain in the way pinching in her abdomen.
