Ups and Downs

Today has had its ups and downs. 

Positives: Awesome Virginia Tech veterinarians, Bentley coming home again, prayer, friends, patience, new and good music. =).

The vets at Tech are amazing. They've been completely encouraging and so kind. They are just so willing in every way. If you ever need an emergency vet, go there! 

Also, we're really glad Bentley is back at home! We are praying constantly that he'll stay healthy. He's definitely weak and not the happiest dog in the world but we're going to try really hard to do everything we're supposed to and hopefully he'll get better! It's only a 5% chance that he'll herniate again within the next six months. Unfortunately, he already fell into that 5% once. So we really hope we'll get lucky this time. 

Thank goodness for prayer. That is all.

Friends are wonderful. They've been great listeners and comforters through all of this.

Patience. I'm thankful that I've been able to be patient lately. It's hard and draining but it's good.

NEW MUSIC! I got new music. I don't actually know if you would consider it "good," but I'm loving the songs Dynamite by Taio Cruz and Ridin' Solo by Jason DeRulo. Haha. Make fun all you want.

Negatives: Losing hope for Bentley even though he's doing okay for now, camera frustrations, tears. =(.

We are running out of hope for Bentley. It's the hardest thing in the world to have hope that he'll get better when he's had surgery twice in one week.

I still love my new lens but it's taking some getting used to. I have a feeling that it would do a lot better on a nicer camera. That lens is pretty high tech and I think my camera is having trouble with it. But it's just gonna take some getting used to. I'll make it work!

Tears aren't fun. But sometimes crying is healing. That's just the way it is.

Okay, enough of that. You're probably sleeping by now. Seriously, I'm sorry. But I took a lot of pictures today that I want to share!! Some of are Bentley, so you'll have to forgive me for that, but there are others! So I hope you like them. =).
