Just a quick update. We've been to the vet. He did an Xray to confirm heart problems and said that Ginger is Stage 3. According to the vet, this is not too late for medication to give her a good quality of life, although it certainly can't cure the problem. He put her on three medications. One to strengthen her heart. One to lower her blood pressure. One which is a diuretic and she is taking a fairly high dose for several days, and if her coughing goes away he will slowly reduce the amount until it seems right. The medication caused diarrhea the first night. She is still having the spells where her legs give out and they are worse than they were at the beginning. We haven't even taken her outdoors lately. I put puppy pads by her bed, and sometimes just the effort of climbing out of the bed to use the pad will bring on a spell. The vet seems to think that will improve. I hope so because it scares her when it happens. It scares us too, but it's her we're worried about, not us. We hate to see her frightened like this. We are holding on to hope for a little bit, but we won't put her through this indefinitely. Only a little while, as the vet seems to think there is hope and says today's meds are really good. He did say that her tongue is nice and pink and that is a good sign, compared to when the tongue turns bluish for lack of oxygen. Of course, he also reminded us that at 15 1/2 years of age, she is quite elderly and medicine is not expected to keep her feeling good (even if it gets her that way at all) indefinitely. My heart breaks for her. I will let you know how she is doing again later on.

Hi all! My husband and I are considering this plan to build and have a few questions Has anyone turned the loft into a 4th bedroom? If so, how did you relocate the staircase to the bonus? did yoh add access to the bathroom to make it another jack/jill? We are in Fayetteville NC and would love to see the house in person if anyone is relatively close? or just drive by to see the outside I am a licensed Realtor and my husband will be our builder Thank you!

I love the movement and the white and garnet inclusions in the sample, but I'm nervous about it being a little dark for my tastes. With supply chain issues, I don't live where I can see a slab before I decide. And a 4" sample is just so small. I've always preferred white countertops and backsplash with my darker cherry cabinets and white appliances. My kitchen has plenty of both natural and artificial light. I would love to see pictures of Shangri-La installed in someone's kitchen. Shangri-la with White Cabinets
