We are good to go at the vet!!!! I am ecstatic!!! However, I can't fathom it. For the past several months I have been visiting the vet for heart murmur, spinal infection, diarrhea, eye issues, and listless behavior. Now....Titan and Thor are good til their yearly exam!!! So much of my time revolved around vet appointments. At the moment, I don't know what to do with myself. No doubt, I will figure it out. Titan had heart murmur recheck yesterday. All things considered, he came out okay. The heart murmur is the same, whew!! Very happy about that. There is arithis in his elbows. He walks slowly and unevenly. His skin looked good. His eyes have a lot of discharge still. I am putting Optix in them six times a day or more. Cleaning them as needed. His X-ray came clear. No tumors. His weight is a major concern for me. This time last year Titan weighed forty pounds. Yesterday he weighed thirty four pounds. He likes his food. Sometimes he eats all of his food. Other times, he won't eat at all. If I sit with him that helps. I have no problem hand feeding him. Moving forward, he gets a cup of cooked oats every day. The vet said Titan was skinny but not emaciated. Yesterday, he didn't feel the best. Not once did he try biting the vet. She cleaned his eyes, checked his teeth, and looked in his ears Titan stood calmly. Right now he is okay. Hanging out in his room sleeping on his bed. In November he will be fifteen. For Titan and me, one day at a time. Enjoy the small things. Yesterday he got a pup cup and very, very long ride. All that mattered was making him happy.
Thor is doing well!!! He hasn't tried going after another dog lately...lol. The vet was extremely pleased with him. The right side of his face looks amazing!! He is back to the happy dog that love life. When his nails were clipped, the vet held him as the tech clipped. Thor, like bull terriers are good for, tried climbing up the metal side of the exam table. He looked like Spiderman. Vet said that was a first. His weight is up from forty eight pounds to fifty one pounds. Yay!!! Saturday he gets his last Prednisone pill. As long as he stays like he is now, he can stay off them!! I am ecstatic with him!!! He has come so far health wise!!! Maybe now, I can relax and breathe. I hope all of my beautiful friends are having a stupendous day!!! Love, Linda.

Last night was INCREDIBLE!!!! SURREAL!!!! I came home EUPHORIC!!!! My feet still haven't touched the ground!!!! Yesterday afternoon, I went to the Howard School Building in Nashville to support the zoo at the Planning Commission Meeting!!!! Thankfully, I arrived early enough to get a seat inside the meeting room. Before the meeting started zoo supporters stood lined up around the perimeter of the room standing two or three deep in the back!! The lobby was Full!! The meeting was televised out there!! Can you believe it.....a line of supporters wrapped around the building!!! The energy in the room was light, strong, and determined!!! I was ecstatic being a part of helping the zoo!! The commissioners assured all present would have their two minute say. They told us, an unprecedented number of people were there for us to be patient. There were people holding signs. One supporter wore a giraffe costume!!! I have Never Seen or experienced anything like the meeting last night!! All around me, I saw supporters reading what they were going to say. One guy had just graduated. He a page written. Others were taking pictures of their words with their phone. Me......I had no paper....no screenshot....I had no idea what I would say. I knew whatever I said would be from my heart. I also waited till close to the end of the speakers so my words would be some of the last heard by the commissioners. Timing is everything...lol. Also, I was very interested in what all the other supporters were saying. Probably ninety nine percent talked about the harmful effects of data centers on humans and animals...They had research....statistics....examples..the whole nine yards. Me....I don't keep up with research or studies. Logic tells me the hum would be devastating to the animals. Sitting in my chair listening to the supporters go on and on about the harmful effects....Some even told the commissioners they worked for them. I thought about taking them to Grassmere with me. Touching their hearts with my words. If they love a place, they're more likely to save. I have the unique perspective of remembering the Croft sisters. Also, of having watched the Croft Center and all the old exhibits be built. Maria slept in the construction trailer at nine months old. She grew up there. When the time "felt" right I got in line. The room still had a lot of supporters most of them in line. Shortly before my turn, one of the data center people spoke. There was almost a riot when his timer buzzed and he kept talking. The noise was deafening. When my turn came, I took a deep breath approached the podium, gave my name, and began to speak. This is what I said, "I support BL 2026-1391. I remember the Croft sisters. I followed them around H.G. Hills growing up. A dear friend of mine built the Croft Center and all the exhibits that have been there awhile. I sat with a fourteen pound Golden Eagle I'm the amphitheater feeding it. I carried Eurasian Eagle Owl out while he tapped on my arm mantling me. As we stepped into the misty morning he hooted. I looked into to his eyes and saw his soul. Knew we were all connected. My daughter and I had picnics on the lawn of the Croft House. I cooked dinner and ate dinner at the Croft House. I sat on the back porch in a swing watching storms roll through. It why I love porches and swings so much. Those were the best times of my life!! I love that place!! I never thought it would end. There is magic there. It would be a travesty of unknown depth to deny the future generations the opportunity to experience these animals." The commissioners were tearing up as I spoke. I spoke slowly looking each commissioners in the eye as I spoke. Also, I paused briefly after each point giving them time to visualize my words. Silence for a second. On my way out of the room, I many people wiping their eyes and thanking me. I filled me with joy being able to touch their hearts!! The next meeting is on June 25th!! I will most likely be there. Sending all my beautiful friends a stupendous day!!! Love, Linda.
