Entry for August 5, 2007

This is our newest star, Saydee. Culzeans Never Say Never. She is the daughter of Elsa , Culzeans She's Something Else and Tony, Ch. Jezra's Daytona. Saydee is a character, she is always smiling and when Saydee smiles, it could very well mean she is up to something!! Saydee comes at a perfect time. Thank you Gina! With the loss of Tahoe and then DeeDee, I wasn't sure I even wanted to be around any more dogs. When I went to Ca to pick up Saydee, I wasn't feeling well and I was still reeling from losing Dee. By the time I got home from CA, the 11th of June. I felt awful, but I still went to work. I work as the Work Comp Coordinator at the medical clinic here in town. I made it through the day, had no voice, a temperature and a lot of pain in my ears. I finally saw the PA there and got treatment. But it took a month for us to get it under control. My white blood cell count was very high. None of the antibiotics seemed to work. Go Figure, huh??!! Finally we tried a Kenalog (I am not sure if that is the correct spelling) and BOOM in 24 hours I was about 90 % better. Then I started with some allergy nose spray,because I am terrible about taking pills. Again the improvement was amazing. So we all came to the conclusion that I had developed some allergies with all the freakin' rain we have had here this year! So around the 3rd week in July and I started to feel more like myself. Saydee was so sweet and loving the whole time I was sick, just like Bear, who by the way is just crazy about her! He grooms her, yep just like he was "mom", he lets her jump all over him, he inserts himself between her and Clem if he thinks Clem is being too rough. She follows him everywhere. Anyway, Saydee would come sit or lay by me and just let me hold her. Now that I am feeling good, Saydee is way more rambunctious, and she is just hilarious. My grandaughter Devan was out here the month of July and it was great just watching her play with the dogs. Devan was really the first kid Saydee had seen. Thank goodness Devan is the perfect kid to socialize your puppies with!! Poor Devan had 2 weeks of me just dragging myself around, coughing and sleeping. My grandaughter is the greatest kid in the world! She entertained the dogs and Saydee just loves her! All of the dogs do!
