My brother came up from Florida yesterday and it is so wonderful to see him! Braeden missed him very much and they played together all night. I wish he could find a job closer to home, I really hate that he is so far away in Florida.

Grandmom and Grandpop came over for dinner and Brian was there, too. So we got to eat in the dining room which was fun for Braeden. Even though his Uncle Greg kept teasing him and saying he would take his food. We had some very interesting conversations during and after dinner. Including Google stock, pharmaceuticals and people throwing themselves on top of cars. Yeah...

Brae was in much better spirits yesterday and even slept in his own room most of the night. Things are feeling a little bit back to normal and everyone seems to be in good spirits which makes me feel unusually content. =o)

Natalie ran a half-marathon in Tennessee and came in second place for the women. She rocks, I'm super proud of her! I wish I could do what she does. But she does enough running for the both of us I think. Haha.

I received my first assignment from Spacelab.org. I'll let you know when they publish it. I'm pretty excited about this development in my life. The album they sent hasn't come out in the US yet, it will be released next week. Makes me feel special to know I have it and am being trusted with reviewing it. =o)

This evening I will be taking Mya to the vet to have the tubes removed from her neck. I'm hoping this will be a good thing and will alleviate some of her discomfort. It can't feel good to have that stuck in her, of course none of this experience has felt good. She is being such a trooper, I am very proud of her. And yesterday she was back to her barking self, so I know she is improving.

For those of you wondering, Mya is home and on the road to recovery.

She has a wound in between her neck and shoulder. The gash is about four inches long and is very jagged. The vet stitched her up and she still has two tubes to allow for further draining. The tubes will be removed on Monday and her sutures will be removed shortly thereafter.

She is being very strong, though it is obvious she is quite shaken by the attack.
For a 10 lb. little dog, I think she held her own and has proven she is one tough cookie.

I have ordered a little monogrammed bed for and fully intend to pamper her from now on.

Thank you all for your thoughts and prayers.

Alright, so I'm not a HUGE dog person, but I do have a dog. A Maltese. She is beautiful; my pretty girl. I rescued her four years ago and she was in poor shape. Her tail was broken and she was infested with fleas. Needless to say, every tiny or huge bit of love she received was accepted with a fiercely wagging tail and excited little cougar sounding growl.

Right now, I wish I had lavished her with so much more love over the past four years.

Mya Maria was attacked by a lab this evening during dinner. The lab came into our yard, as it has many times before, but this time it caused trouble. I'm not sure what started it all, but the cry that escaped her little mouth was a piercing scream that will never leave my brain.

Mya is currently at the Middletown Veterinarian Hospital. She has a four inch gash in her neck, they stitched it up and have put in a draining tube. She is on antibiotics and will be staying there over night. I need to call in the morning to check on her and see if I can come pick her up. She apparently tried to fight back, some of her teeth are now missing.

I cannot even begin to tell you how upset I am. My head is aching thanks to all the sobbing I have done. The people who own the beast seem to be very apologetic. My Mom and I went to their house after returning from the vet. They said they are extremely sorry. Well I should think so!

Anyway...wanted to get that all out. Please pray for my pretty Mya.
