Rest in Paradise

On Monday our lives changed forever. We we're placed with the tough decision of putting our dog to sleep. She had a disease that caused her calcium and protein levels to bottom out. We'd first discovered this disease late this summer when she had and episode that included diarrhea. We switched up her food and diet and she seemed to be back on track.

But Monday morning we noticed that she was shivering and decided to take her in for a check up. She was diagnosed with a slight fever and given some new food to try since she wasn't enjoying her old one. (A dogs normal temperature is 101 to 102.5). When my mother and brother left the vet they stopped in a grassy parking area to let Mindy out to use the bathroom before the drive home. As my mom set her into the grass she fell face first and would not bare weight on her front legs. My mom and brother hurried her back to the vet where they said that she might have a slipped disk. She was given some steroids to take down the inflammation and was ordered to be on rest instead of playing. 

As they left the again she started heavily panting, but it wasn't her normal type of panting. Once again they went back to the vet. She was taken into the back room where they diagnosed her panting that we hadn't seen before as a seizure. Her temperature then was 106.9.  

Blood work was done and the grim diagnosis was made, we could take her to the emergency vet where she would be admitted to the ICU and given protein and calcium, but we were not 100% sure how long it would stabilize her. And if it didn't stabilize her for long her next crash would be even worse then the one she had just had. 

With everyone coming out to say our good byes and give as many kisses and hugs we laid our sweet baby to rest. At only 6 years old our little angel ran into the arms our Heavenly Father. 

Mindy you will be forever loved and missed by all of us and your big sister Morkie. 

We love you! Rest in paradise princess <3

Sunday Snapshot: Car Accident; Good bye Toyota Camry, you were so good to us.

May 18th was just like any other day to me, a Saturday. I was going to go to a friend's graduation party but decided not to and instead attend church with my family while my twin brother went; after all I would see our friend after church at yet another party.....or so i thought.
Church went by quickly because we have no A/C and it was about a million degrees inside. It was 5:46 when the call came. At the moment my dad answered I knew it was trouble, and my heart sank, my twin brother and friend had been in an accident. The tone of voice my father used I've only heard two other times in my life, and i hate using him hear it, it sends chills down your bones.
As we pulled up onto the scene of the accident i felt my heart go to my stomach and my stomach drop to my feet, our car was no where in sight. Obscenities were being whispered under my dad's breath as we rounded the corner. My heart lurched and everyone gasped as we rounded the corner and saw our car nose down in a 100 ft ravine. I thought I was going to be sick. My dad all but jumped out the window of the car as he flew out of it and took off towards the car. We'd been told to stay in the car when we pulled up, but all logic flew out the window as i sat in the car for no longer than a minute after my dad left. Giving my little brother and sister a stern lecture that they were absolutely under no circumstances allowed to leave the car, i told them i would be back, little did i know i would not be back. As i stepped out of the car my instinct was to run, well flip flops plus huge ruts and tall weeds equal an epic fail in my part. As i started running and my dad yelled "WALK!" i took a face plant in the weeds, but that didn't stop me. I kicked off my flip flops not even bothering to think about the glass and metal that was laying around and took off towards the fire engine where my brother sat. How he got there was beyond me.
As I got out of the grass i wasn't allowed near him yet because to many people were crowded around him. I started hyperventilating. I wasn't sure what was going on, and all i wanted was to get to my brother, and that was happening. A bystander asked if he needed to get me a seat and I told him no I was fine but i needed to see my brother. When i got to him he was in hysterics. "I wrecked your car! Oh my god i'm so sorry!" was all he blubbered out along with other things. I tried my best to console him; the car was no matter to me at the moment. It was then i noticed he was shirtless and Tom was no where to be seen. My dad was down at the car along with a bunch of other rescue people..... and the jaws of life. Tom was put on a back board and brought up the hill. I tried to get close to him but was shooed away, he was then put into the ambulance, declared a code 3 trauma and rushed off the ER. After a little more talking my brother was put onto a board and a neck brace also and put into the ambulance. I was asked to ride in the front to go with him.
After the ambulance ride a lot of it is a blur. We waited in the ER waiting room for a few hours, and then my dad came out to take us home and get us dinner and then head back up to the hospital. We stopped by the site of the accident to see if we could take some pictures before it got completely dark. One of the cops on duty came up to us as we were heading back to our car after taking pictures and told us that our boys are so very lucky and incredibly blessed to even be alive from this accident. He doesn't know how they managed to walk away from this with as minimal injury as they did. My brother ended up with a lot of seat belt burns, torn muscles in his leg, bruised ribs, and a fractured collared bone. Tom ended up with a broken nose, a lacerated eyelid which required 60 stitches, a broken orbit, and some torn muscles in his leg also. Both boys are recovering well. I believe it was my Nonnie that saved our boys. It was her old car that they were in, and on the passenger side(which took the point of impact) was a guardian angel pin on the visor, a Auto rosary, a  rosary ring, a Jesus sticker that stuck on the passenger side windshield in the bottom corner, and two rocks in the back that were vel-croed down that read "pray" and "Jesus". Here is a little new's article that was covered on the accident http://www.wowt.com/home/headlines/Sarpy-County-Investigating-Accident-208033121.html
And here are the pictures I took today at the impound.

(The jesus is not torn or anything. But i couldn't get it because it was pinned down by glass)
