Our little Brayden is resting in our Lord's arms.

And I know this in my heart. What a blessing Brayden has been to us. Still, my heart is broken. And I wonder, why with all my health issues, am I out-living my grandson. It doesn't seem fair at all. But my faith is strong, and I know the Lord only meant us to have him for just this short while. And I am comforted in knowing he was not in pain, and did not suffer. With his breathing difficulty, his little heart gave out. If you recall, He had open heart surgery and had two valves replaced, so I knew this would be an issue in the future.

His poor body just couldn't fight anymore. And I knew in my brain that the prognosis was not a good one for him to live a long healthy life, because of his chromosome disorder (charge syndrome) but it was my heart that couldn't accept that.  He is still my little angel, but now he has his wings. I was able to hold him for a long while and say goodbye. I traced my fingers along his face to memorize his features. And I cried. And I hugged and kissed him and told him to say hi to his great oma and opa (my parents) for me. And I told him that one day his Oma (me) will be there to hold him once again. And I prayed that the Lord will hold him for me until I can do it again.

Please pray for Joey. He is devastated. He was such a great dad. He loved his little man more than life itself. He was always taking care of Brayden. Always. Their home-care nurses always told me what a fantastic dad he is.

Tomorrow they will make the funeral arrangements. I worry how they'll pay for all the medical and funeral costs. And I think I will try to raise some money for them. I will get a large set of my candy wrapper sets I designed and offer them up for a donation. All money raised will go to paying medical and funeral costs. I will post more info tomorrow.

Please keep our family in your prayers.   XOXOXOXOX

New Addition to Our Fur Baby Family

His name is Bo and he is a Welsh Pembroke Corgi. He's a cutie, but a handful right now. He was an outside dog that spent his life in a small fenced kennel all by himself. Not a nice thing to do to a dog of his breed. They need to have room to run. After all, he was bred to be a herding dog! But the owner used  him to make money, and that's what a dog breeder does I suppose. But, I have always loved Corgis, and Greg knew I would love to own one. We have another dog as well, and Buddy is half corgi half rat terrier. So far, they are tolerating each other.The cats are tolerating him as well, however, he is not tolerating them very well. But, if he wants to be part of this household, he's gonna have to get over that. After all, the cats allow us to share their home. And if you are a cat parent, you know what I'm talking about.

So, we have had to step back the training a bit. Have to think of him as a puppy since he does not know how to behave indoors, and how to behave around other animals aside from the one he is breeding with. So I imagine another male dog AND 5 cats were alot to take in for him. So, we will do baby steps.

Greg called our vet and asked him if he knew of someone who might like Bo, as he is worried I might get hurt if I have to break up a fight or something, and he's worried about the kitties, but, I have thought about it and I really think we need to give him a chance. All of our other rescues came around, and the ones that didn't get along with our furbabies, we were able to find a home for with the help of our vet. So we'll see how it goes. :)

Have a wonderful weekend!  XOXOXOX
