This week has not been the best- Jay went Hunting last Monday and one of his really good dogs was killed- His other dog got hurt really bad and was in and out of the Vet. Jay had to check him 3 or 4 times a night- Luckily he still has 5 others- it was pretty tough on Jay losing his dog-If you know Jay, you know his dogs are almost as important as one of his kids. They were still able to get a mountain lion later that day.
On Tuesday, Mackie started getting a cough- I didn't think much of it, but it gradually started to get worse. By 2:30 a.m. Wednesday, she had a 104.2 temp. and could hardly breath. I gave her some meds, we bundled her up and took out to breath cool air, her temp went down and she started to breath a little better. By 7:00 a.m.- she once again couldn't hardly breath- we took her to the ER- They gave her a couple breathing treatments and steroids, and then informed us they were going to admit her because she still wasn't breathing quite right. Needless to say, it was a long night, she is however feeling much better and I am so happy to have her home. It makes you see how fast something can happen and how truly blessed we are.

That is too bad about Jays dog. I'm glad your baby is feeling better. The Christmas pictures are all adorable.
Hello Roche Family! I know all to well about how dads and brothers feel when they loose a dog. A dog is apart of the family- Tell jay hi and now he'll just have to get a new one! Also tell him in heaven he'll have all of his dogs back- ha ha it helped me when i lost my racoon! heee- but i'm glad mackie is okay- your a good mom and dad it sounds like, my mom and dad i remember use to stick me outside as well, sometimes not for the cough and not breathing, but it helps. but your family looks so cute! Bella is getting more chubby it's cute- Keep in touch and tell uncle vernon and everyone i say hi- have a great day!
