The PF Women Team at our Annual Team Retreat ~ 2018 Today on Seth Godin's blog, he said: It's tempting to decide to make a profit first, then invest in training, people, facilities, promotion, customer service and most of all, doing important work. In general, though, it goes the other way. Yes, it does. If you are waiting to make a profit before you do these things, in my experience you're not going to make a profit. So many organizations, ministries and churches are struggling with financial issues. I know your pain. As anyone who follows our story knows, our ministry was in a ton of debt four years ago when I came on as director. Since that time, we've gotten out of debt and turned a profit every year. God has done amazing things through out team, for which we give Him the glory! I find that what Seth is saying here is absolutely true, with one disclaimer. For Christian leaders, spiritual disciplines must always be first. Before we started inve
Maddie got the area by her right eye fixed as well as the open wound on her leg as much as possible. There was not much skin to close there on the open wound on the leg, so it was glued with tissue glue as well as possible. Unfortunately this morning the eye area has opened up again. Not sure why because she has just laid here and not touched it all night. Would all of you reading please pray that if Michele is able to do it again that the eye wound will stay closed?
There are no graphic photos in here (I promised, remember?) but just a few from last night that will show how our baby is coming along. Keep in mind, when all this is done to her she doesn't fight, snap, or even pull away. She is the most gentle and kind animal on the planet. Just one reason we love our Maddie Moo.

Fixing eye with tissue glue
This glue stuff is amazing!
Yay!!
Maddie's eye once it was fixed with the glue tissue. Black spots remain and probably will as all the hair from that area was taken out by accident. That's okay, she's still the most beautiful bulldog in the world.
Not posting any photos of closing up the other area -- it would break my promise of not showing any more graphic photos. :) But thank you Michele for patching up our baby's leg as much as possible. We are so ever grateful.
She has been laying down on her little makeshift bed on the floor and one of us always lays next to her, 24/7 on a twin mattress that we brought out into the dining room. She hates to be alone especially now. She was rarely alone before the accident -- always playing with, or laying beside one of us. Especially now that she is in pain, she wants us 24/7 and we are happy to oblige. :)
She is still not walking -- we have to carry her to go outside to potty. She can stand for a second or two but plops down immediately because it's just too painful on her back legs. Keep in mind that really horrible wound photo I showed here yesterday is one of her back legs. They were hit hard but the vet did tell us they are NOT broken. However they are sore and Michele says they may have a little nerve damage but we can work them and massage them and do therapy with her. Basically one of our five family members or friends have been sitting here doing that 24/7. Please pray that her back legs would be strengthened day by day and that soon she can walk. We are so thankful that she is here but we need our Maddie to be whole again.
