Bogie is a 12 yr. old black schnauzer with diabetes, diagnosed 9/01. In 2005 he was dx'ed with atypical Cushings. In 02/16/2008 he was dx'ed with prostate cancer and passed on 08/14/2008. In 09/2008 he would have been diabetic for 7 years. Miss you Boges.

In Sept. 2006 I adopted Molly, a 6 yr. old diabetic Chihuahua. She is a very easy diabetic. She eats raw and freeze dried and is getting 4.5 units of Novolin N. The only supplement she gets is Cesar Millan's Balance and all my dogs are really doing well on this.

I have 19 pets in all. All but Bogie were strays or rescues. I live in a small town in central Iowa. I luckily get to stay home with the "kids"!

I have 12 cats and 5 dogs at home and 2 dogs that live in a fenced area where hubby works. Micah is a huskie that I found and Zeke is a sheperd that had spent 2 years on a 10' log chain and not fed regularly. They are great pals!

All the cats were strays or rescues. I lost one baby in 02/08 to cardiomyopathy, Jaz was just 8.

The other dogs at home besides the diabetic are Reba, a german shorthair cross that was a stray and has been with us for 9 years. Lexi and Livi are Shih Tzu's, 5 year old litter mates.
The cats names are Dink, Shaq, Bubba, Dolly, Grey, Harley, George, Charlotte, Maxi, Gracie, Goldie and Sam.

I've been married for 31 years and have one son, a step daughter and a step son. 11 grandkids, 4 whom are close by.

I like to golf and work in the yard when it's not too hot and in winter I do what I have to and otherwise stay home.

I'm a born again Christian and try to keep God at the center of my life. I believe that you must receive Christ as your personal savior, ask Him into your heart to be saved and be assured of spending eternity in Heaven. The alternative to accepting Christ is to spend eternity in hell.
