She's Happy!

In a world of MRI's, blood draws, and the constant worry of "what if's"...There is little to smile about.  But over the last few weekends, we have had a visitor staying with us, who has brought more than smiles to Bailey's face....He has brought a sense of hope!

"Everyone's always taking care of ME....Now I have someone to take care..."

But even though Bailey IS taking care of Fergus....Fergus is keeping a close eye on Bailey as well.  He follows her around the house making sure everything is okay.  They take care of each other!

In fact...Fergus has brought smiles to EVERYONE in the house--Even occasionally Rich. :)

We are excited to finish the process of adopting our service dog and can't wait to see the relationship between Bailey and her new best friend grow!

Thank You Freedom Service Dogs!

Sometimes I get scared of what could be-

I worry about the tumors and how they affect me.

But no matter how sad or scared I get-

I smile always and never quit!
