Happy bday dear @Jenny Rader-Bakos 🌸✨ We love YOU! Wishing you health & happiness!! The rest we can buy 🤗 P.S. For those of you that don’t know Jenny is going through a lot right now - fires all around her area (when we drove through, we went through 6-7 hours of fire and smoke as thick as we couldn’t see a few meters in front of the car…. Have videos and can share them in the comments) and also she is in the midst of moving to a new home…. Moving itself is super stressful! And I check on her often… you know what she said to me last night? She said: “I AM TOO BLESSED TO BE STRESSED!” Just wow! The power of her positivity lifts us all 🩷

Arrow is back home, we did blood test, X-rays and urine test. No infections and no foreign objects inside of him but there is a serious kidney issue (shown in the blood work) and a very enlarged liver (shown in the X-rays). Ah, also anemic… w all the meat that I am feeding him 🤷‍♀️ We are taking supportive measures for his kidney first to see if that is what is affecting the liver. We still need to send the X-rays to a radiologist for more through examination. It’s possible that he ate something that affected the liver that is affecting the kidney or he has a kidney disease that is affecting the liver. Or he has cancer on either or both…. One day he was fine and the next day - this… Heavy panting, huge belly but stomach is empty - we saw it in the cray, lethargic and no power to even get up by himself. Literary overnight. Arrow refuses all food and is drinking a lot of water. The water is very good for him as it will help his kidney. Thanks goodness he is drinking. I added minerals to his water also. We are all exhausted physically and mentally. Arrow is sleeping next to me now and I will do the same. Thank you again! I love you! 💕 P. S. This gif perfectly represents Arrows natural energy and behavior - lil energizer bunny!!!

Hi Tribers! As I am working through notifications, there was this gem I found by @Stephanie Davis - CUZ MAGIC HAPPENS IN THE COMMENTS! I couldn’t help myself but highlight it!! With all the “gurus” around and all that make us spin in circles, Stephanie nailed it right in the head. She said: “I felt like I was getting so many notifications and so much of a content I was seeing was about how to work the system rather than be a good community steward”! This!!! Ladies and gentlemen, is the holy grail of it all!! As simple as is, is majorly overlooked and underestimated! It’s the little things in life that are indeed the BIG THINGS. Just make a damn good community! Make it valuable to people! If your community sucks, ads, about pages, traffic… none of it matters. Cuz if you get a 1000 people tomorrow and they leave immediately cuz your community sucks, then what? Pointless waste of time & energy with a side dish of a major frustration. MAKE IT VALUABLE. Any questions? Opinions? All welcome, as per usual! Also, as per usual, I am behind w notifications lol And thank you for your patience- will respond to all!! As per usual 🥰
