Rainey Jewel. This has been a difficult year for our Jewel. Her beloved dog, Malijah, is no longer with us. He attacked Jim leaving blood oozing out of 3 puncture wounds in his arm. As much as it broke our hearts, there was only 1 decision to make. Jim and I cried together as we realized what needed to happen because we knew Rainey would be devastated. And she was....is. After several weeks of acting out, constant melt downs, and sleepless nights, I took her to a physiologist. While the visit was helpful, the poor doctor was almost in tears as Rainey described how Malijah would sleep with her at night with his tail draped across her legs and would stay right next to her until she fell asleep, then he'd move to the bottom of the bed. We had another session scheduled when we adopted Krystal - the kitty. Krystal has filled a small portion of the gaping hole in her heart. She is happier and sleeping better. Not all is well, but it's an improvement. Another visit to the doctor may be in order.
Another huge change for Rainey was that she started kindergarten in August. She loves her teacher and being with friends, but could very well do without school. She asked me daily if she has to go. Picking out clothes is a nightmare. I do my best to get this done the night before, but sometimes it just doesn't happen.
Rainey loves her kitty, playing littlest pet shops, and is enrolled in ballet. She is a firecracker that always makes us laugh.
