Today my ankle has been hurting so bad that I can hardly walk.  It seems to be getting worse all the time.  I didn't hurt it but its the sciatic nerve that goes down my leg.  Doctor gave me medicine but thats not helping me at all.  I'm not able to shop anymore  either.  I'll call one of the doctors tomorrow to see what I can have done.   About 2 months ago the neurosurgeon told me I would probably need surgery.  I just talked to a nurse in my neighborhood and she told me he's planning on retiring now.  I'm really not ready for a surgery.  I hate all the aches and pains afterwards.  I just wish they could give me a shot to relieve pain but he said he can't do that.  To me that would be a simple procedure.  Oh well.

Since we live in Florida i was happy to  see Florida Gators win over the Okaloona Sooners.  The score was 24-14.  My teams are Penn State, where i'm originally from.  Same with the Pittsburgh Steelers and Philadelphia Eagles.  I think I said earlier in my blog that Dh is for the Dallas Cowboys. 

My Dh is over his cold now, Thank God.  He had it for a long time.   We just hope it doens't come back but winter isn't over yet for awhile.  Here in NW Florida the temperature has been mild this year.  Usually by now it's freezing outside, especially at night. 

Cya all later.  Jeanne

Hope is Marty's daughter.  She was born 11-01-1999.  She takes after him in the being able to warn me before I go into anaphylaxis shock.   Hope was trained, but did not become a registered service dog for a few years.  She worked at home but Marty went out every where.  as Marty got older Hope started sharing his out side of the home work.  Marty still went out he loved to go to crowded places, while Hope does not do as well in crowds.  She is over protective.

Hope is the only dog working for me at this time.  Hope has only one litter of puppies before I fixed her.  It was to hard on me to watch her give birth.  Alex will be taking over some of her work when he is done training.  Medical alert dogs never stop working until they are called home to God.

Here are some pictures of hope:

I will share more pictures of her when I load more.

I will get back to posting in a day or two. I'm not feeling well enough to compose a full length post. 

Warmly, ~Melissa

Marty was born 1-17-1995 he past away on 11-07-2008.

Marty was a service dog for anaphylaxis for my self.  He also warned my daughter before her asthma got to bad.   Marty was 12 weeks old by the time I figured out what he was trying to tell me.  after I did I trained him to be a service dog.  He passed his test at 11 months old.   Marty fathered over 100 puppies in his life time.  Our top breeding dam had very large litters.  Her biggest was 17 puppies.   We also studded Marty out to approved females.  They had to have at least 4 generations of no health problems and have the right type of owner.   We were going to freeze Marty's sperm , but we then decide against it.  We ended Marty's line.  There will be no more dogs from his line unless we decide to breed his granddaughter.

Marty was a well love dog by many.  His favorite place to go was Disneyland.  He love to go on the rides and see his favorite workers. The employees at Disneyland gave him treats , always had to come see him.  When there was a ride he could not go on he went with the employees to be spoiled while we rode at ride.

Marty has been on t.v. and in a few magazines and made the front page of the paper.  He saved my life many times and our daughters also.  He made the front page by fighting a German shepherd who jumped our 5 foot fence and held our youngest daughter by the neck and would not let go. Our daughter was 4 at the time.  Marty was not even 2 years old.

Here is pictures of Marty:

As soon as I heard about this here on-line Monday, I started to look into it. By yesterday, I know the best thing to do was contact a tv station in Memphis, Tenn. who is known for getting to the bottom of things.

The reporter called me this morning to ask me a few questions. He let me know that he was already starting to look in to this and would be reporting what he could find out this evening.

I thought I would make a post about my upcoming blog.  It's about my journey with God and His increases to my family.  Everyone who is struggling or praying for God to increase their quiver are so much more then welcome. It will have poems, and scriptures relating to this and prayers and of course I'll be praying and praying for some friends that need prayers.  I want so much just to have a place to put my thoughts.     

For everyone who visits my blog, you know how much I love the Lord and pray that He uses me and mine for His glory and His Kingdom.  Sometimes there may not be things you agree with, but remember it's my blog and this is how the Lord is dealing with me. 

God's word is His will. 

ps. I'm not deleting this blog, just making another one.  :O)
