Water Therapy and More

Both Colby and Rosie had operations (different types) so we took them in the pool to get some mobility and strength into the area. They both did really well. They need to come more often.

Here is a gallery of Colby.

Here is a gallery of Rosie.

Neither are our breeding but they do come here to visit and we love them immensely!!

Today, I found out my mother died. Years ago she died as she had alzheimers but it still hurts. 

Between being sick and this, I may be lean on the blogs. Hope you understand.

I have to say thank you to Patt as Sadie (Thyme) cuddled with me making me feel better. It was nice to have that experience. Thank you for sharing Sadie and Marlee with us. Marlee we adore and of course Sadie is a character. Thanks again!! Timing couldn't have been better!

Kathy: With Alzheimers I feel like she died twice.

July 16, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

I'm very sorry to hear about your mom, Darlah. Alzheimer's is such a devastating disease, I understand what you mean about losing her twice. My heart goes out to you.

Oh Darlah, we're so sorry for your loss. It's never easy and you'll need some time to just do nothing so TAKE it!! (if that sounded like an order, it was :)) Please take care and know we're thinking of you and the family. Hugs.

Darlah our sincere condolences on the loss of you mother. Alzheimer's is an ugly disease and I am sure you had some difficult times over the years but the finality is yet another step to go through. You have a beautiful family and loving dawgs and all of your Talemaker fans around you to give you strength and love.

Our sincere condolences for your loss, Darlah. Our thoughts and prayers go out to you and your family during this difficult time.

I am so sorry about your loss and definitely understand about losing her twice. I lost my Mom last November for the same sad disease. I felt our family lost a little of her every day. It was hard to lose her at the end but also felt that she was whole again and with my Dad and Brother. Felt torn between two emotions. Thank you Nathan for taking Colby swimming. I really appreciate your care and advise for him.
My thoughts and prayers are with you and your family as you go through this difficult time. ((Hugs))

Darlah, we are so sorry for the loss of your mom. It must be a difficult and long goodbye as the Alzheimer's progresses. Now that she's no longer here, it has to be a very painful final goodbye from this earth. However, she will always be with you, deep inside your heart and in your memories. Our hearts ache for you and your family. We hope that all your Havanese will give you lots of kisses and love in this difficult time. All our condolences.

Darlah, our thoughts are with you at this time. Having just lost my mom at the end of June, I can appreciate the grief and the sense of loss you feel. I am so sorry. As others have advised, please take care of yourself and know that those around you are thinking of you. Deeply sorry for your loss.

Thank you, everyone. I miss the who that she was but I have been grieving that for a long time.

July 17, 2017 | Registered CommenterDarlah

I am sorry to hear your Mother passed on Darlah. It is so difficult to watch a loved one 's health decline. My thoughts and prayers are with you, Nathan and your family at this time.

July 17, 2017 | Unregistered CommenterKaren & Pippin

So sorry to hear of your loss Darlah and also understand about losing her twice since I went through a similar experience. Hopefully you can find some peace knowing that she is now free from that disease that held her captive for all those years. My thoughts and prayers are with you.
