okay, I need to get to sleep. I was overwrought this afternoon when one of the vans we rented "died" on THE MOUNTAIN leaving me with no choice but to ask one of the students to make two trips -- one straight to the airport and then back up the mountain to get another load down.

they are the sweetest dogs! my first cavalier died at 6 years of heart failure. Chloe is 8, and she also has a heart murmur.
10:10 am
Minveryork

I read that they're prone to heart problems; i.e MVS (Mitral Valve Syndrome). Their life span is 6 - 9 years.
10:13 am
robbie09

Sadly that is true. Since Chloe has no symtoms, she is not on any medication yet at 8,but the heart murmur is there.
10:14 am

They're still worth having, even if they don't live long

You mentioned having trouble walking -- do the doctors know what is going on or are they still "testing"?
4:43 pm
jaianniah

Sprite, What is wrong? I have an infection in my leg. What r u dealing with (want to add you to my prayer list...)
4:45 pm
sprite

they 'know' for as far they understand how the brain works under stress. I have cptss and a damaged pelvic girdle. When I get too much stress (which happens too easily), the hormones in my brain start running riot and in combination with the other handicap, that sometimes leads to a kind of paralisation. My legs don't get the messages from the brain to make the right movements then. Not sure I explain this correctly.
4:46 pm
sprite

how awful, jaianniah. Painful, I bet, and it must have quite some impact on your everyday life too.
4:46 pm
BabbleRabble

goedemorgen, sprite
4:47 pm
cybernan

it sounds very frustrating, sprite -- and just makes the stress even worse, I bet. Hope a solution for you is soon found.
4:47 pm

hi BabbleRabble, best of mornings to you. I am being bad and staying up late to babble.
4:48 pm
