Kim, I knew you meant hope. I will always have hope that better weather, calmer nerves and such will have her do turnarounds, even if temporary. I always hope for days when she will act like she fells better and can get around better..... that is what I meant by me not giving up... So far, she has done better in the springs and summers... worse in the winters. I think a lot of her problems now are associated with Hurricane Katrina and her having to go to a strange house (at first to ride out the storm in her kennel..VERY stressful) and then to go stay in a completely different house without anyone she knew for the air conditioner ( I can imagine her horror at that) until Kevlin got his power back.

When I first brought them back home, she yowled if she thought I was leaving her, something she has never done before and about the time that stopped, it turned cold on us down here. Now it goes from cold to hot, hot to cold.. NOW it is suppose to start raining and rain for 3 days....
