an answer to our prayers!

last may, many of you may have read here on the ol' blog about a not-so-fun report we got on the dogs' annual trip to the vet.  the doctor felt that she was detecting a heart murmur in norman and felt that it might be serious.  she told us to watch for any signs of weakness, growing tired easily, or uncomfortable-ness in norman.  well a year later, norman has been nothing but a big ball of happy, tail-wagging, loving, entertainment...if you know norm you know he is a charmer and loves all he meets.  he has remained my steadfast running partner and snuggle-buddy...

today we went in again for their annual visit with a lot of inner fear --- only to find that the doctor could not find any detection of the murmur!  it seems that norman is a healthy, floppy, 2-year old little guy!!!  i don't know if he outgrew the murmur or it has just faded, but as far as i am concerned it is a miracle and i thank God for sending it to our sweet pup!  thank you all so much for you prayers and love for little normie.  my heart is so happy to have a good report on both our dogs health (of course mckenzie is in perfect health, she is such a trooper, all 3 pounds of her!).  they are our babies in this family and we love them so very much.
