Tucker is such a handsome boy!

Well, almost two weeks after losing our beloved Gus to liver disease, the Lord has blessed us with Tucker!
Tuck is a 19 lb. liveley wheaten colored Scottish Terrier
and he has already stolen our hearts.
Gus can never be replaced, he will forever be in our hearts
but the huge void he left is gradually filling up with love for our new little guy.
It's been 10 years since we had a puppy in the house and
we have had to learn fast once again...
Tuck is curious, lively and will do just about anything for a cookie!
Cookies come in very handy, let me tell you...
Our wonderful daughter-in-law, Kathy Nuss, continues to be in a hospital in San Francisco battling liver disease and various complications. Next week she will have dialysis and most likely her MELD score will bump up to status that will enable them to take offers for a liver for a transplant for her.
Kathy was an IV drug/alcohol user but 11 years ago, she turned her life
around and since then she has helped hundreds of people in her community as a drug/alcohol counsellor at Empire Recovery in Redding, CA.
This is her life work...to help people...to help them get out of their addictions to a healing, healthy life. Her goal is to get well and get back to helping people as soon as she can. That is our prayer also.
There is a benefit fund online for her...
if any of you have dealt with or know someone who has dealt with a serious illness like this, you know that insurance doesn't cover everything.
Travel expenses (they live 4 hours away from S.F.), drugs, etc
just aren't covered and times are tight for everyone.
Most of us live paycheck to paycheck.
This on-line we-pay donation account is a blessing for Kat and our son, Drew.
After Kathy receives her transplant, drugs will be very expensive.
They are checking into every kind of agency/drug company
for assistance with the cost.
If you are inclined or know anyone that would be inclined to make a donation
our family thanks you from the bottom of our hearts!
God bless you.
