Rain Rain go away!

So it is the rainy season in Grenada. All it does is rain and rain and rain and rain. Eventually it stops but there is no telling when. I do love the rain though, it cools things off and what harm will a little water do anyways. “Little water”, I say this, but I think that everything is pretty saturated about right now.
It is not my favorite thing to walk the dogs in the rain, I have to admit. And now, we have an extra dog living with us. I am fostering a big black dog that looks just like Kole. Last Sunday he was hit by a car near the Texaco on the bus route to school. Apparently, the person that either saw or found the dog after it was hit, flagged down a school bus and asked if there were any vet students on the bus and if the vet hospital was open. Well two lucky vet students that I know fairly well from church and from tutoring perked up their heads. Lois, one of the girls, said when she saw the dog her first thought was that he was dead and not to bother with it, but she could not just leave it. So the guy handed her, no kidding, this 70 pound big black practically comatose dog and she carried it on to the bus( which is unheard of, because dogs are not allowed on the bus). The bus stopped them off at the VTH for treatment. Because it was Sunday everything was done on Emergency. This was all done early in the morning, and so this is how I come into the picture. Lois comes to church, she is wearing jeans and they are all dirty and soiled, from carrying the dog and I approach her wondering why she is so dirty. So untactfully I ask her why she is so dirty and she explains to me the entire story. So to end this already long story, I am fostering (I should say my roommates and I) this big black dog that looks scarely similar to Kole. Everyone gets along great dog wise. We ended up naming the dog “Tex” because he was found near the Texaco. His improvement everyday is undaunting. The first day we had him he was ataxic(falling over everywhere) and he could barley walk to my house from the VTH(which is like ½ a mile) He now is running and barking, but has obvious brain damage and kind of gets weak and falls over when he has been standing for a long periods of time. We are looking for a home, with Christmas drawing near, if is going to be hard to find someone to adopt him. I’ll keep all of you updated on the whereabouts and the actions of “Tex”.
Other than that, I am just trying to improve and get caught back up with school. It is a constant battle, a neverending, always swimming, just keeping my head above water struggle. Only by the grace of God will this even be possible. A good note, I passed my physiology test last week. Barely! But I did pass. I now have a 73 in the course, which is definetly not where I wanted to be sitting going into a comprehensive final, but this is truth and I am having to deal with it. Thanks to all of you that prayed for me.
I so look forward to seeing all of you in a couple of weeks!! Those of you that are about to start a new life with their sole mates, those that have new jobs, those that have transformed their bodies, those that have a new miracle growing inside of them and those that have not changed much, I cant wait to see each of your smiling loving faces and get caught back up in your lives. Love you all, stay healthy and take care of eachother !!!!!


Kole wanted to go for a swim also....
