Flippy and drinky
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/flippy-1.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/drinky-1.jpg Fritz flipped over on his back next to dad and sitting in front of the fireplace waiting for me to get some water.Every year on CFTO Sports,they have people write in who want them to build a outdoor rink.it turns out this guy is having one built in his friends back yard who can't work anymore because he ahd Lou Gehrig's disease.He was diagnosed 5 years ago and is now 43,3 years younger.It hasn't progressed as much in him like dad.he can still drive,seems to talk fine and walk,but it will probably be a matter of time before it gets worse.Lou Gehrig died from it only 2 years after getting it. :)

Fritz, you're so cute!! Love your pictures. Are you watching Wheel of Fortune?
Barry, I'm still keeping all of you in my thoughts and prayers. Let's all pray for a cure for this terrible disease your Dad has. I hope his days are as pleasant as possible.

Napping and Peeking
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...z26/peeker.jpg http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3.../pillownap.jpg Fritz peeking around the candle,sitting in front of the fireplace for water and snoozing on the pillow next to Dad .Last i checked Fritz was still in the window,might be in bed by now.We may be getting home care for dad.they are coming at some point to check things out.His tractor went today,will probably get maybe $8,500 for it.Probably come spring,he will miss it. :cool:
-
Fritz, you're still looking so adorable buddy!! Could you get any cuter? We love your pics!!
Barry, I'm sure it was pretty sad to see the tractor go. I'm sorry this had to be the case. I hope the doctor can give you some good news about the drug you mentioned.

Fritz,
You're such an "adorable" sight to see~Yes, We love your Pictures !!!
I'm quite certain that it was a sad moment , seeing that *Tracter * go away ( that part of life is now over~) Your Dad is keeping his Ducks in a Row~ He's a Great Sport!!!!
I truly hope that you can receive "Home Care", although you and Mom seem to be holding up so well~
I'll keep an eye out for another update~ I hope the Doctor will give you some promising news on that drug you mentioned ~tomorrow.

Barry, these pictures are wonderful! I'm still thinking and praying for your dad every day. I think Fritz is some of the best medicine out there. What a good boy he is, the perfect snuggler!
-
What a sweet boy to take such good care of your dad. Your family is in our prayers daily. Thanks for sharing pictures of him.

Lights
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v3...6/lights-1.jpg Fritz in the front windows,Christmas tree shining brightly.Dad had his appointment today and there may be encouraging news.it seems dad's blood is out of whack,so might be something to do with that.He found it odd that this disease would go from the legs to dad's voice.His next appointment is January 8th,then the 11th.the drug i found can help somewhat and is $800 a month,hopefully insurance will pay for some and we only pay $100 a month.Fritz is back in the window and will head there shortly. :cool:

What a Great Picture of Fritz in the Window, with that Christmas Tree Shining so brightly!!! Fritz is a Genuine Guardian Angel, isn't he!!!!
I've thought of Pet Talk all day today, and I "knew" that your Dad had an Appointment today too!!
Thank You so much for posting this Up Date!!!! :cool:
I Hope and Pray that Everything Pulls Through for your Dad :o
-
Great pictures, Barry!! Fritz, you look so cute and are such a good protector of the house and of Papa. Kisses to you as always :)
Barry, you know how hard I'm praying and hoping that there will soon be great news for your Dad. I think with PT's support, he'll get better :)
