Mom was so brave. She opted not to have them nock her out completely! She said she could hear everyone talking. She didn't hork up like she does when they put her under completely so it was better for her. She was able to go to work the next day. She had her first chemo with the port in October and wondered why she had been fighting against it for so long. They sprayed some stuff on her port to numb it and then put in the needle which she didn't even feel. She said she could get up and go poddy and eat lunch and do her puzzle books. She even took a nap. When she had chemo in the vein, she had to sit so still and even then, there were times when the vein blew for no reason at all. She came home all smiling instead of the usual crying.
My barkday and my parents anniversary was in late October. We didn't really celebrate it cause dad was still sad about Gma as he is the Execute her. I don't understand why he has to kill her again cause she is already dead. Dad says it has to do with her things and dividing them up. I'm glad we dogs, cats and hammies don't have to worry about these things. In addition to this, mom and dad were in a car accident. The were driving Gma's car and somebody rear-ended them. The person then backed up and drove away. Dad is still seeing a kyropracter to realign his bones in his spine. Mom was really upset because the car was totaled and she no longer had an automatic to drive. She has her old manual car but it is harder for her to drive. She said even tho it was a 1995 car, it only had 43,000 miles on it cause Gma hardly drove it anywhere. Her car has 173,000 miles on it.
Thanksgiving was a good time this year. We had french toast for breakfast and I got some. In addition, I had some scrambled eggs from the french toast dipping leftovers. I got Turkey also. Mom had a toasted turkey sandwich late that night and I got some of that. This morning we had french toast again and mom made a special piece from the heel just for me.
Winter has finally hit New Mexico. The nights have been freezing and I have stayed in most nights. When I do choose to go out, I have my crate filled with straw so it is quite toasty.
Hopefully my mom will be feeling better and I will be blogging more.
Well, I have to go help mom make turkey enchiladas for dinner. I get turkey scraps but none of the other stuff cause my gas would be quite nasty.

Sorry to hear about your grandmm and then the wreck, Let's hope the bad stuff is all behind you and the new year will be just crammed full of good things for you and your family.
Poor Isabella hasn't had any blogging time for quite awhile. I think she has lost interest in blogging-LOL!

So sorry to hear the sad news about your Grandma, please give your Dad some nose nuzzles from me.

So glad for the update. I was like your mom, I fought against the port, but once I got it I was SO HAPPY! It made it so much easier. The best part is now I have a really cool scar and I get to make up fun stories about how I got it.
And I am sorry about your Dad's mom. We're sending you some positive thoughts (and if we ever get em done, a christmas card!)

C-K-C,
Thank you for letting us know what is going on with you. We are sad to hear about your Gma but she is happy in her new place.
How awful about the car accident. The other drive sounds like an awful person to hit a car hard enough to total it and then leave the scene! We are glad your people are okay even it the car isn't.
Try to stay warm in NM! If you have time, drop us another tidbit about what's going on in your life. We miss you.
Roxie, Sammy & Andy
hope the new year changes things around for you
oh my C-K-C, your mom and dad are both super-brave. especially your mom. you must be so proud of them and so worried about trying to heal them at the same time. if anydog can do it, it would be you - you are such a sweetie!
