updates of my life with pups, Savanna, and enduring the road

Savanna got a good report with her doctor today; counts were good, she has survived radiation as well as can be expected. She has no brain damage (she is furiously making necklaces), she can walk albeit not as well as before, she talks like a train and she bosses her brothers around very professionally. She is bald but who cares, I certainly do not. She is such a precious soul, she is wise way beyond four years of age.
She is delicious!!! This hat was made by Pat of Bow Wow Ware and Dina helped Pat make it happen for Savanna.
She certainly looks happy attired in all her necklaces !! Now comes Chemotherapy in a couple of weeks. Please pray for her as she enters this phase of her treatment, and for her brothers and parents.

This is her paternal grandmother, Mrs. V. Pughsley getting a hug..the Pughsleys have been very helpful and supportive in this battle and love her dearly. Please pray for them as well.

One of my little dober babies... they keep me sane as they keep me busy...very busy.


They are growing like weeds, 5 weeks old now and such fun and work, too.
I am starting a cancer support group in my local community. I have to do it. It is so important as now I have those shoes on my feet; I realize the roller coaster and the need for an outlet to share and receive understanding. It will be held starting August 14th and is being published in the newspaper.
People as a whole have been amazing. Kindness and support so I want to give back. Please pray that this is a blessing for people in need of a hand of hope and love...just like me.
I have found I am definitely learning to live one day at a time and to lean very heavily on God's grace, mercy, and strength. He remains an awesome God full of love and understanding for me and I could not go one step without Him....not one.
There has been heartache and dissapointment as well but it is not nearly as great as the blessings and love so I think on the good.
Savanna has received posting cards from Cinderella and Snow White while they are on vacation. LOL, how sweet and special to a little girl that is a princess in her heart....

I want to say thank you for every kind word and email. Every positive thought..every gift and donation. A smile, a hug-they all are random acts of kindness. Blessings to All, Melly
