LuLu’s heart murmur is gone!
She went for her third exam and to finish up her puppy series shots, and she was such a good girl. She laid on the exam table as though nothing whatsoever was happening… ahem… “back there”. Last month she weighed 16 lbs, and this month she weighs 31 lbs. She was pronounced very clean and exceptionally mellow, but best of all – no heart murmur! Oh, happy day!!!
Wally waited patiently in the car (and, of course, he was sitting in the driver’s seat when we came out). I’m sure he’s happy about LuLu’s clean bill of health, too. We discussed it, but he didn’t say much. He just smiled.
I’ve been doing a lot of smiling, too! I hope you have a very happy day!




That is fantastic news! She seems like SUCH a sweet girl! And Wally is so wonderful, I can only imagine the joy they bring to you.
Hurray for LuLu! Give her a hug, and enjoy your weekend! :D

Best news ever!!!!! My heart is happy for you this morning Leslie. And I guess Wally is a man (or in his case, a dog) of few words ... he speaks with his eyes!

That is such awesome news, Leslie! It's cool that she is "exceptionally mellow." I imagine you to be the same way:) Enjoy your weekend!

Happy to hear the good news. Lulu is really growing up. She's losing that puppy look and is turning out to be a pretty young lady.
Posted by: Margaret | 01/21/2012 at 06:32 AM
Oh, Leslie, hooray! I've prayed for LuLu. I'm so glad the prayers were answered.
And I love your writing style. I feel like we're having a conversation!

We're smiling here too at the happy news. In our neck of the woods, we spell relief - h e a l t h y p u p p y. Ya, really, I checked it in the dictionary.
She's getting to be a big girl now. At this rate, she'll catch up to her big brother in no time. Very happy for all of you.

Yaaaaaay! That is great news! She looks healthy and happy and very, very loved. =) Enjoy the weekend with the furbabies! Mine tuckered themselves out playing in the several inches of fresh snow this morning and are now plopped down with me in the craft room, snoring and whuffling in their sleep. Why can't they always be this sweet? Sigh.
Posted by: Christy Beans | 01/21/2012 at 10:09 AM
Oh that is great news to hear, Leslie! We're all celebrating with you!!! Sweet pictures as always.
