My Little Wiener's

Baylor and Sparkie are "mysmithfamily" pets. Both of them are miniature daschunds. You know wiener dogs! Cameron got Baylor as a birthday present when he was 7 yrs old. Baylor is now 15 years old. Sparkie came along about 13 years ago. We named him "Sparkie" because..... What do you call a wiener dog with balls of steel? SPARKIE. And yes, he is all that. I wanted to post about them because we've had them forever and they're getting old. I think they deserve a spot in "Me and My Smith Family"

Poooooof!
Life as I knew it changed that fast! One day things were going along as usual. In fact I was getting a little bored with it all, my job, my home, my life and the next thing I knew my husband (who wishes to remain nameless) and I are sitting in a hospital room talking with a team of doctors about the "C" word. CANCER! We were blindsided! We never saw it coming! That quick! One day things are going along, la, la, la, and the next day the rules of the game have completely changed.
His prognosis is good and we are very optimistic. Interesting...it's in his body but "we" have cancer. I see life differently now. What I once viewed as "hard" doesn't look too bad. I'll take my problems over his. And how can I complain about cleaning the house, going to work, mowing the lawn, caring for our children? He's dealing with chemo and radiation therapy on a daily basis and still going to work. He's my hero.
