When your clients get a new PUPPY you go to a snuggle fest..

Dottie we’re already in love & we can’t wait to spend more time with you!

Still hoping to hit our goal. I donated to so many over the years to feel like I contributed. Every single donation adds up. I always used to say if everyone that read it sends $1 we’d be shocked. Currently fighting with insurance over OT/PT. If I wear to fall home alone I would be unable to lure myself up anywhere.

That’s where I’m at & fighting insurance. It’s exhausting

So many people still reaching out asking what they can do to help. If I could even sort out my explanation of benefits that we get from our insurance you’d be shocked. Every day a new bill arrives. So while Uber eats & gift cards are nice; paying the bills is a daily stressor.

It’s been 12 weeks today since diagnosis—gosh 12 weeks. Any & all donations all add up to me paying off something else even if it’s just our water bill lol

I honestly never thought I’d ever see myself in this situation but here we are. I have donated to countless Gofundme pages over the years.

It always made me feel better knowing I was helping someone’s world even if I couldn’t understand. But again it’s amazing who you are there for but they aren’t for you. Doesn’t matter; I will never stop being a helper. It’s just who I am.

Jeff & I are still dealing with SSDI and that’s a process.

It’s almost time to sign Casey up for 2nd semester classes like the hits never stop lol

If everyone would share just once more I’d love to hit our goal & close it down knowing we did all we could. Next week I have a brain MRI & then a PET scan to determine next steps.

Thank you our Army! Casey is STILL working through all this choas so if you need a sitter let us know!

It is with the heaviest of hearts that I share this information. One half if our team (me—the Mama) is being tested.

Fear not Casey is still open for work & frankly could use the money.

Do not feel obligated to donate but this is the very best description of what happened to me.

From my sister
I know I was tagged on her original post for this, but I wanted to share it with my own thoughts. I just haven't been able to get all the things together in my head to be able to do that yet.

First, I will say that it's technically not brain cancer. Yesterday, I said outloud that I actually wished that it was. I was half joking, and half serious, because I feel like for me, this is one of those cases where the devil you know might be better. What my sister has is VERY RARE. It accounts for only 2% of all cancers. And the location, sinonasal, accounts for 2 - 5% of NECs. So even if I take the high end of that at 5%, of the 2% it's .001. Yes, you read that right - POINT ZERO ZERO ONE. It is rare and agressive. The tumor has eaten away at bones, is pressing on both frontal lobes (more on right), and is impacting her every day life in more ways than I could possibly list.

I know creating this wasn't easy for either Angie or Jeff, but when anyone asked me what they needed, I was honest. They need all the love and encouragement because this is real rough, and they need financial support. Angie lost her job days before diagnosis because the tumor was turning her into a different worker, not the amazing employee she was hired as just short of a year before. And because of not working to get ready for the move, she can't collect umemployment, being just shy of 12 months of work. Jeff is on FMLA to care for her, but his job is also commission based, so FMLA doesn't cover that part. And I know asking for this kind of help was something they never imagined, but the stress of finances is one less thing they need to worry about right now.

I sit here in awe of the amount of people who have donated or shared her page. People that are part of their life, but also mine. People that I've known since kindergarten, former and current work friends, and all the way to people that have become part of my framily in really just the last two years here in FL. And I know everyone has so much going on in their lives right now, so if you can't donate, I completely get it. If you feel inclined to share, please do. If not, please say a prayer or send good vibes their way. Angie, Jeff, Kyle, Hailee and Casey (and our whole family) have been through the ringer these past few months, and I know they feel all the love, no matter where it's coming from.

She starts round 2 of chemo tomorrow and I continue to pray it is doing its job. I know that something happened after round 1. We got a piece of her back. I was able to have a lucid and actual phone conversation with my sister - something I haven't had since June. I got off the phone and cried. And on my dad's birthday, she only lasted a short time, but it was the first time she left the house for anything other than a drs appt in almost 2 months. She has a home health nurse, is doing PT and OT, and is embracing her shaved head and her alter ego, Lola. I continue to tell her she's got this, and we've got her. And she's stuck with me til we're 83 and 80, so we've got a long way to go sissy.

So the rule at this client’s house …

Dog must be on a blanket to be on the couch…

Why did I just come out of the bathroom and this fool with her legs hanging over head on the pillow like a human acting like she owns the place…

Some days I'm reminded of our journey. Today on FB a memory popped up that 3 years ago today Casey bought her 1st car with money made pet sitting for 2 years. Here we are 3 years later about to celebrate 5 years in business!

In Illinois we were allowed to self-promote on city/town pages and word of mouth spread quickly.

In Florida, not so much. Self-promotion is only allowed one day a week and you can't even post yourself--it goes in a thread to be lost among hundreds of other comments.

We've been here almost a year and we have THREE repeat clients. Bailey, Mya and Harvest (and their humans too) when we receive a text asking if we're available for a job; please KNOW it makes our entire day and lights up our world.

If you're a former Illinois client please know how much we appreciate you; YOU built this business and we love you and miss you so much!

It's been slow---but we will get there.

Here is Harvest this week and he's just a little lover.

As much as we love our clients…there’s nothing like your own puppy.

Ruby our sweet girl really wants some of our dinner.

Yesterday we had an amazing meet & greet with this little nugget Poncho!

Of course he gravitated to & trusted Casey right away!

Being on spring Break I got to hang with Casey & her awesome pups!

Bailey is the best walker & always greets you at the door with a stuffy!
