Whoopie and Lucy are here

We have new puppies! Saturday night we got 2 6 week old cocker spaniel puppies, one black and one red. We have named them Whoopie (after Whoopie Goldberg) and Lucy (after Lucille Ball), can you figure out which is which? They are as cute as can be and we are enjoying having dog(s) in the house. As soon as I get some good pics I will post them.

Peter continues to improve! His strength is better every day, and his appetite is great! He eats just about everything in sight. We see the dr. on Thursday and are hoping that he has gained weight. His prednisone has leveled off and hopefully they will start decreasing some of the other drugs he is on. Strength continues to increase, but he is still quite weak. Now that Whoopie and Lucy are running around the house he is getting more exercise.

Everything is looking so much better than a month ago! We need to judge progress on a weekly basis or even a monthly basis, otherwise it is hard to see changes. As long as we can see progress, no matter how small, we are both encouraged and know that things will continue to improve.

Have a great day!

Wendy
