Whew

Oh my gosh....so glad that they didn't get hurt!!!! just one more thing to be thankful for!!!!!!

I am so glad to hear the whew news. They may leave home, but you can never stop worrying about them. MS is on a plane and I still divert my attention so I don't think about it!!! God is great!

Just needed to say how grateful I am for my daughters returning to NC safely. They were in a 5 car wreck ( rear-ended from behind) and were not hurt. They were the only car to drive away. God is good! I guess I will never quit worrying about them. At least they were together which provide support and comfort.

Whew! is right. I'm so glad they were not hurt! Thank goodness they are home safe and sound!!!! :clap_1:

How scary for your girls! And big time scary for you!

I'm glad they are OK. Your IWIWT name is appropriate tonight, huh?

As the mother of two teens who are both driving, I can only say that I share your worry every time a child gets on the road. Thank goodness they are safe and sound!!

Another whew...MS's plane to STL was struck by lightning and was super turbulent! My MO friends must have had some weather today!!! Hope everyone else gets home safe and sound!

Hold that thought, Sueshore. We'll be on the road eight hours taking the boy child back to college tomorrow! Clear the road! Mermaid's driving. (Seriously though, I'm glad all travel mishaps weren't dangerous and that our loved ones are safe.)

May the Driving Angels be along for the ride with you, Mermaid! The house always feels a little lonely after MS leaves. But he'll be back in less than three weeks for a month, as I am sure yours will be!

Guess I'll post it here since WHEW is what I'll be saying later today. I am doing my best to not make eye contact with Molly this morning. Remember the overbite? Well, I haven't been able to mention it (DENIAL!)...today is the day she goes in for, yes my friends, BRACES!! She has lower canine teeth that are growing in straight up instead of splayed out and they are hitting the roof of her mouth (poor baby!). The solution is to place brackets on the canines and a back tooth with a "power chain" attached that will need to be adjusted every week to 10 days. This will take 3 - 5 months! She also has an upper canine distortion and I was so overwhelmed at the dog dentist that day that I can't even remember what is being done about that. I can't feed her this morning and therefore I can't look at her!!! I just try to remember how blessed I am that we have the resources and the time to do this for her. I know all my sowalers will send good thoughts to Molly today although I am the one that needs the sedative!!!!

Safe travels Mermaid. Enjoy the time the time in the car...so of the best conversations take place while traveling.

SS, whew is right about your child. That would not be a fun flight. What happens when lightening strikes a plane??

I have never heard of races, but would do the same if my girls needed them. She will be much happier in the future so just focus on that. Give her extra love this AM from me.

I think Molly and I would much rather be at the FUNN Dog Party in your avatar! Thanks for your sweet thoughts for us today!

As for the lightining "hitting" the plane. I asked for some specifics, but all he said was..."believe me mom, you KNOW when it hits!" He is prone to a little exaggeration at times, but I am sure it was rough (Thank goodness I was not on that plane...I would have been crying!)

Yes Miss Kitty...bad weather last night...tornado warnings and tons of nasty lightning!!! not a good night to catch up on sleep we want to know wheres our snow????? thunderstorms in November....booooo

Your dog needs braces? I've never heard of that before.

Psssssssss! Pssssssss! And just for good measure....ssssssca ssssssca, that is the sound of you being scratched!!

Yep, only I would have a dog that needs braces. She is in surgery as I type. No more chew bones or hard toys for awhile.

YAY! The Dr. just called....Molly is out of surgery and waking up!!!! I can get her around 3:30 pm!!!

So glad that your daughters made it home safely. I know that must have scared them. I am 44 years old, and my father still worries about me driving. I am sure I will be the same with my son starts driving!!

So glad everyone is safe and sound, including Molly. There is not much worse for a parent than having kids on the road these days. I know it terrifies me.

Darlene...the sweetest thing is when your daddy tries to buy you gas at the age of 50!!!! I swear, it happens!!!

Suncat...thanks for thinking of all the travelers and my dog who has braces and purple rubber bands...I AM NOT KIDDING!!!

Isn't nice to be loved. My husband always gives the girls spending money and fills their car up with gas when they leave. Sweet gestures.

Whew is right! that makes my heart skip a beat. Lightning striking the plane too.... so scary.

.... my dog who has braces and purple rubber bands...I AM NOT KIDDING!!!

SS,
Won't Molly paw at the braces and bands? How does that work for a dog?
I guess she'll just get used to them.

She'll do great 'cause she'll have sooo much love and attention from her people!

May the Driving Angels be along for the ride with you, Mermaid! The house always feels a little lonely after MS leaves. But he'll be back in less than three weeks for a month, as I am sure yours will be!

That happened to my puppy, and we were lined up with an appointment with a doggy orthodontist, but then miraculously the tooth that was digging into her upper mouth straightened out and grew in normally. If I hadn't waited a month (as the local vet had suggested), poor baby would have been in a boatload of misery due to surgery, and I would have spent a boatload of money (yes, we were talking doggy braces).

Sorry that didn't work out for your pup.

Thanks BR. In fact, we are just now working on the top canines and after they are fixed we go to the bottom ones!! My vet took one look in her mouth and sent me home directly to call and make the dentist appt.! I don't know about y'all, but I have NEVER heard of braces/rubber bands on a dog before....I guess you can teach an old Kitty new tricks! Sorry Miss Molly...if you were expecting a L"as" V"egas" luggage collar, you are clean out of luck!!! maybe a designer one form Mr. Isaac at Target will do?

How is Molly this morning? Ihope she rested well and her teeth do not hurt too much. Dogs are so pitiful when they moan and hurt.
