<DIV>Breaking news on TV on Wednesday, Mosquitoes collected for testing in
Lucas County in two of our metro-parks has turned out to be POSITIVE for
the West Nile Virus ! I know birds can get this disease, but can dogs and cats
get it ????????? our mosquitoes are awful this year, they are in
swarms, usually in a normal year, you see them at dawn and dusk, not
so this year, they literally chase and bite you even in the
daytime hours, even when the sun is out, they county have sprayed twice,
but it just keeps raining and the spraying by the county does no good
!!!! I make Annie wear a jacket out when she has to do her business,
it gives her some protection, but they still bite her on her ears and
face, i follow my girls around the yard waving a towel to deter the
buggers, but then there is HANNAH who wants to chase them and also
lightening bugs, I have been giving both girls Benadryl . Bill and I
do mosquito patrol in the house every night before we go to bed, there is always
at least one or two that we find and kill every night</DIV>
<DIV>I was feeling really down on Tuesday, and I did a lot of crying and was
missing my Maggie something awdul, I took Annie for a ride down to river side
cemetery and we sat and I cried and we talked about our Maggie, It was exactly 7
months to the day than Maggie left us, then the sky got really dark
and I knew it was going to rain so I said, "well I guess we better
head for home baby girl" and with that it started to pour, but the
sun came out and I looked across the river and there was a DOUBLE
rainbow, I cried so hard because I knew it was a sign from my sweet Maggie
, I am 66 and I have only had the awesome privileged of seeing two
double Rainbows in my life time, they are beautiful and it was so vivid with the
dark sky, i wiped my tears, hugged Annie , thanked Maggie and then we went
home, I am not allowed to cry about Maggie anymore in front of my husband,
he gets really mad at me</DIV>
<DIV> </DIV>
<DIV>Hugs Marlene, Annie , baby Hannah and our sweet
Maggie ATB</DIV></FONT></BODY></HTML>
