Happy New Year

Please forgive the huge hiatus. We wish you a very happy and healthy New Year. I have not been posting because poor Rosie took a turn for the worse. Just when we thought she was making progress. To make a very long story short, she does have an auto immune disease. The vets have her on prednisone and time will tell what happens next. We took her to a specialist at Mass Vet Referral Hospital (a wonderful facility)and this is only the 3rd case our specialist had seen since 1994.
We sent out her blood work to San Diego (the only place in the US that tests for this) and will verify this is it next week. Only problem is this disease can pass down from mother and fathers so we will have to test the other three dogs. Rosie has been put through the ringer and she has been a trooper all the way. I will be better at making entries here and asking for your prayers for her continued healing. Thank you.
