Hey guys, sooooo I’m going to try and get back into a better routine with our group, so thought I’d start with my STEPS, yup still doing them, not always hitting my goal obviously.🤷‍♀️
Let me tell you guys my crazy, creepy occurrence~lets see if you don’t get all freaked out.😮🤬😱
I was in my veggie garden and something buzzed by my ear, then actually landed in my ear so I hit it away….it didn’t come out it went inside my ear. Guys it was like a horror movie, I yelled out not once, but 3 times WTF I was sure I was getting stung or bit and it hurt, then I could feel it going deeper in and its wings were flapping inside my damn ear~it freaked me out because it seemed to be drilling in there And buzzing all
I grabbed a dropper and hot water put it all in my ear and waited about 3 seconds, still flapping~I grabbed the peroxide and put in a full dropper and it stopped. I figured it was finally dead. Now to get it out. No matter what we tried it was not budging and it was late so I prayed it would fall out when I slept, but it didn’t come out so I had to call the doctor.
The doc couldn’t get it out and by now it’s been in there 17hrs, my ear was bleeding, swollen and raw. Finally one of the nurses flushed it out, after the 5 or 6th time out it came. It was huge, the napkin has the stinger, the Wasp was in pieces, and stung me at least 3 times that I remember..what a nightmare…
It was such a hit at the hospital, all the nurses came in to see it and the doctor even took a picture. Everyone was freaking out and taking pictures. How Gross & Freaky huh?!?!

08/07/2024

It’s even tougher than I ever thought it would be…actually strike that, I never thought I’d have to say good~bye to the most Amazing Friend, Furbaby and Love~not to sound naive~but it was to unbelievable to face. To be honest I still can’t so I’m just going to say “until I see you at Rainbow Bridge”.

19/06/2024

I want to Thank all of you for your kind words, I still have not been able to read all your comments. I’m truly devastated at the loss of my Big Boy D’Kota. I hope you understand and forgive me for taking this time~the time I need to grieve, to heal if that is even possible~I look for him every time I wake at 3AM, don’t know why I wake up at this time but when I do D’Kota would be sitting beside my bed as if telling me its ok~I gotcha~go back to sleep. And a thousand other places.
I had this made to put in his favorite spot~in my vegetable garden.

Passing this valuable info.

03/05/2024

I want to Thank all of you for your love, kind words, support and understanding of the bonds between the animal world and human world.

I needed to take this time to completely focus on D’Kota’s health while still trying to have a kinda normal every day for Ella. If only LOVE could heal none of us would lose our furbabies.

How I wish animals could talk~Ella had been smelling D’Kota’s stomach area for a while at some of the oddest times. She’d run past him then stop abruptly turn around quickly and go to him smelling him again. The Vet said ‘dogs can detect Cancer, which I’d seen a show where a dog was trained and able to detect Cancer in people. Imagine…

Anyone looking for aid for your dog with HSR should check out this link. We have been using this for nearly a month and we believe it’s been a blessing controlling the bleeding {stopping} as D’Kota slowly recovers. This is only part of our daily routine if you want more info. I’d be glad to share with you. {D’Kota yesterday}

He’s such a big love bug💜

L👀K who’s able to climb up on a chair then onto the top of it so he could watch over ‘his territory’ out the window and watch his ‘humans’ at the same time💜

Seriously amazing medications to help him with his energy, and bleeding if need be. They have so many nutrients that help with Cancers in dogs. But prayers are always needed. D’Kota has some not great days and some great days, we are praying for more great days. 🙏

And this picture came up in Memories where he’s showing off his new Service Dog Vest, his other one was black and it didn’t highlight his good features.🤷‍♀️🐾🐾

Poor Ella is so lost without her sidekick, she doesn’t even want to go out to p*e without him BUT she came in season a month early so now she has no choice. Guess who’s so so interested..🫣

Update on my Furbaby/Service Dog and Bestie..
D’Kota has a huge 6” mass in his spleen~its Cancer~

“Hemangiosarcoma is a common and deadly cancer in dogs. The cancer tends to grow and spread rapidly, rarely giving the owner any clue their dog is harboring a fatal disease – until it suddenly strikes. On average, a beloved dog succumbs to hemangiosarcoma every two minutes.”

Devasted and so angry that another love in my life has Cancer, that may sound selfish but D’Kota is much more than a dog, or a pet. He’s literally saved my life more times than even I am aware of. He’s been my Service Dog for 11 years, and rarely if ever is away from me.

His heart is so amazing, he’s the gentlest giant and loves everyone. We are fighting this together with every known remedy we have in our arsenal.

This is an around the clock Cancer~he’s gone from complete lethargy unable to even get up and walk to sitting outside with me and Ella while I garden and walking in the yard. We thought we were losing him the first 2 weeks as he refused to eat or drink water~I literally had to use a dropper to put water w/electrolytes into his mouth and hand feed him~a balanced home made diet, nutritionally complete and balanced with Cancer supplements~he’s now drinking on his own~still hand feeding him which is fine with me~allowing me to make sure he’s getting all his medical needs each meal. Into week 4 we are seeing/having some good responses from all the meds/healing Cancer foods etc…that he’s doing. Obviously he still needs to be on my watch 24/7 just in case.

Prayers are welcomed, but please no negativity.

Ketosis is attainable within 1 hour or less when drinking KETO//NATS

Not eating Low Carb~DON’T eat high FAT 😳
You Do Not have to eat Keto to drink Ketones and be in Ketosis‼️

To achieve Ketosis through diet alone takes 4~7 days of meeting your Macros daily and vigorously exercising {fasting helps} If you slip up you will have to begin that vicious cycle all over again.
Knocking your carbs down to 20 {ish} is the most difficult and most important part in the first 72 hours.

But you can do this And I can help you if your looking for that bathing suit season thats fast approaching…👏
