Buddy's culture came back negative, so he doesn't have an infection. WE're still waiting to hear what that means in terms of why he's insulin resistant. In the meantime, when hubby and I talked about our trip, he told me that if we don't go, he won't be able to take a vacation till November. He needs a break - his work has been rather intense for several months now.
So husband trumps doggie. But we decided to go for 8 days rather than 16. I'm just hoping Buddy will be well enough for us to do this. If he isn't, we will can't go. Oy vay.
In terms of my writing, I am in this amazing process of connecting with the character who whispered to me in the Magic Forest at Blarney Castle in Ireland. As I open up more and more to this experience, the richer it becomes. I am in awe of how Spirit can work, because I am clear this is a spiritual journey that will eventually become a book.
That's all for now.
Blessings,

Thank you so much for taking the time to visit. Hope you enjoy your stay. I blog here on Monday and Tuesday. This blog was created at the time my memoir came out, in February, 2009. Its motto was: creating a life of inner peace and self-acceptance from the depths of despair.

And with your writing journey...how I dream of going to Ireland one day! Hang in there!
Hopefully the vet will have even more good news about treatment for Buddy.
Sounds like your writing is going well. Good luck.

I'm so glad your fiction writing is coming together. It's a great feeling, isn't it? And best wishes to poor Buddy, I hope you get good news.
I'm so glad about the character coming to life! That's wonderful.
Hope Buddy is feeling better soon...
Such a good feeling when one's writing is flowing and coming together, isn't it! Best wishes with your Buddy....
You've got so much on your plate right now. I hope you are able to get that vacation in
Best wishes with Buddy! Hope you enjoy your 8 days. Vacations are coveted moments.
For all three of you, I hope you get to go on vacation!

I've always found the beginning of the fictional writing process to be the most exciting. Everything is possible and the story can go anywhere. Enjoy the infinite horizons! Here's hoping Buddy's problems will prove to be small and easily managed.
I hope Buddy is better soon, so you can enjoy your trip without worrying about him. I love it when I connect with my characters – it makes it much easier to tell their story.
"this is a spiritual journey that will eventually become a book."
Yes!
I hope he's feeling well soon! And I hope you can both earn a well-deserved vacation!
It sure took your Irish muse a long while to get back to you. I'm glad he finally has. Write 'till your hand cramps.
